The PX3 lets you customize the way game and chat signals are processed. You can configure each preset with different settings to enhance specific parts of the sound.
With the press of a button, you can completely change your sound environment and hear sound cues you’d normally miss. For instance, you can select a preset that isolates the sound of footsteps in the distance while honing in on the sound of an enemies reloading or bullet casings hitting the floor. Many of the presets also incorporate a unique Blast Limiter feature that reduces ear fatigue by automatically controlling the volume of extremely loud sounds, like explosions, without affecting other sounds in the game.
The game and chat presets give you a huge competitive advantage by allowing you to hone in on sounds your enemies can’t even hear, while making sure communication with your team is crystal-clear.
Game Presets
Game presets change the way the headset processes game sounds, so you can tune in to the important sounds at critical parts of the game. For example, if you're having a hard time hearing footsteps while playing your favorite FPS, just load up a preset that makes footsteps louder and you can suddenly hear them over loud gunfire and explosions, just as if you had super human hearing.
Chat Presets
Chat presets manipulate the voices from XBOX Live and PlayStation Network chat. Have a teammate or friend who's always huffing and puffing into the mic? Just load up a preset that kills off really quiet chat sounds so you don't have to listen to the breathing. You could use a chat preset to limit burst volume if you've got a friend prone to victory-yelling. Or, load the Chat Boost preset if you can't hear your teammates over the roar of loud game blasts.
Update Your Headset
Register and download software to upload new presets to your PX3. New and useful presets will be regularly updated and download-able directly from
TurtleBeach.com/Customize. The possibilities are endless and the concept is revolutionary.
Alan Wake - Zombie Foot Steps
This sound clip shows how the sonic lens pulls out faint footsteps masked by background music and other noise. In the original clip, you can barely hear the footsteps in the background, while in the processed clip the footsteps are clear, with less background masking. Also, listen to how the Blast Limiter reduces the intensity of the gun blast so the sound level can be turned up to better hear the footsteps, without making the other sounds too loud.

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Machine Gun Fire
This clip shows how the sound of machine gun fire can get too loud, making it impossible to turn up the volume to hear softer sounds. With the Blast Limiter, the machine gun sound is lowered without affecting other sounds. This lets you turn up the volume to hear soft sounds while not blasting your ear drums with louder machine gun sounds.
