Sennheiser GSX 1000 Audio Amplifier

Description

The GSX 1000 Audio Amplifier from Sennheiser enhances the audio coming from your computer with a dedicated DAC chip to make it suitable for gaming environments. The amplifier connects to your Windows or Mac system via an included USB cable and creates 7.1 virtual surround sounds for your audio peripherals. Sennheiser has outfitted the GSX 1000 with three 3.5mm audio jacks so you can have your headset and speakers connected at the same time. To adjust sound levels, speaker focus, and AEQ settings quickly, an LED touch display and an aluminium volume wheel are on board. Additionally, the touch panel lets you switch between headphones and speakers on the fly.

Features

Gaming Audio
The GSX 1000 audio amplifier comes with a binaural rendering engine that features a 7.1 virtual surround algorithm for delivering simulated surround sounds. The GSX 1000 comes with enough jacks so you can have a headset and a pair of speakers connected at the same time.

Sound Settings on the Fly
Featuring a red LED-lit touch display and an aluminium volume wheel, the GSX 1000 lets you rapidly adjust sound on the fly. The red-on-black display dims down when not in use to cut down distractions, and brightens the instant it senses your hand is near. It allows you to adjust the Sidetone, which changes how loud your own voice sounds, and switch between your headset and speakers without unplugging cables.

Sound Quality
The GSX 1000 has been designed with a dedicated DAC chip that requires no additional drivers. The amplifier gives you precise control of both game and communication sounds, allowing for separate adjustment and USB inputs for each. Besides the range of AEQ settings, it is possible to set Reverberation levels to change how the user feels in physical spaces of the game, and even increase the surround speakers for back and front speaker focus.
