Hey all! To make easier to copy the HyperX Quadcast Sonar EQ Settings so you can tweek click here👉👉 www.steelseries.com/deeplink/gg/sonar/config/v1/import?url=aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21tdW5pdHktY29uZmlncy5zdGVlbHNlcmllc2Nkbi5jb20vdjEvMzdlMGY2ZWYtY2FiYS00NjIzLWE5ODctMDAzY2Y2MmJjMWZk
thank you so much man, i was worried that the ngenuity app wasnt working for my quadcast since it doesnt support that mic. now it sounds smooth and i can curse as loud as i can on game chats
For anyone wondering, the updated EQ version doesn't automatically connect to all apps. If you don't find that the EQ isn't working on a specific app/game then just go to the audio setting and change your input. In input you will be able to see another option which would prob something along the lines of steelseries eq. Choose that input and your mic should be sounding like the EQ.
Hey, navvedit! Thank you for watching, liking, commenting, and subbing!! I really appreciate your support brother!! Glad this video helps you and makes your mic sound amazing !!😁😁
Hey Averybef! Thank you for watching! Nice! Glad was able to help with this video! Combination of sonar and Quadcast is really good. Thanks for sharing!!😁
Seu audio fica muito bom mas eu definitivamente me estressei com meu microfone, não consigo fazer ficar bom, o ambiente não ajuda, e eu não estou conseguindo configurar de forma que me agrade, qualquer ruido/barulho por menor que seja é captado pelo microfone kk. E não sei porque está acontecendo mas o microfone parece estar captando até mesmo o áudio do desktop(ex: coloquei uma música pra tocar e ele ficou captando a música, mesmo com nenhuma influencia de áudio, msm com a música saindo pelo headset no volume 0 ele continua captando no obs como se a música tivesse sendo tocada na frente do microfone. É desesperador quando uma coisa que deveria ser simples, não funciona 😪😪 preciso de ajuda.
Fala CanalsaveRoom!! Primeiro obrigado por assistir o vídeo 👍🏻 então o negócio desse microphone é que realmente ele é bem sensível. No meu quarto ou em casa não tenho muito barulho de fundo e sendo assim funciona bem. No caso da música eu acho que no Windows audio settings seu playback deve está no hyperx Quadcast , mas se você quiser me da um alô lá no nosso discord e agente faz uma sessão pra ver isso beleza?
@rdplayz Hey i saw your comment on my notification but I don't see here for me to respond so hope you see this message. The 2nd dot is the smaller one to the second on it. Also thank you for your support here in our channel!!😬
I have a quad cast s and it literally sounds nothing like this. Sounds like I’m in a damn toilet. I’m pissed. (Update 1Year later)- Go to your settings, Go to advanced for your Mic, Turn OFF AUDIO ENHANCEMENT. Then lower your volume of your mic to 70-80. This will make it sound better. It sounds bad because of the audio enhancement in the settings. It’s on by default. No software required to fix your mic, it’s just a setting.
My quad cast S I just bought for dual setup also sounds like a $20 microphone. I watch these UA-cam videos where people’s sound different. But, I just heard of this program so I’m gonna check into it. What if we are already using AMD sound suppression?
had this mic for a few months and I just can not get the audio right, micophone audio while playing a game and streaming or recording is way too low, does not matter what settings i use it doesnt make any difference
Hey Reginua! Thanks for watching! I had this issue today for the first time as well and I did restart my PC and after a bit it worked and is working since then. I imagine something maybe windows related update ? If I find out I will post here as well.
Hey Rurikssen! Thank you for watching! Yes this settings was tested on Cardioid mode. If you need to use in a different mode I suggest to start with this settings and adjust as you needs it. I may test it myself since this is a great question! Thanks Rurikssen! 😁
thanks you really! Helps me a lot, best settings for now that I’ve tried. If I don't have the support arm yet, do you still suggest that I increase the noise cancellation to greater than 50%? I'm asking you so that the keys can't be heard because I have the microphone on the table. What do you say? 😊
Glad these settings help you!! You can add more than 50% but it only will improve a little. Since is on your table it will pick up some keyboard noise and some rumble too. I highly recommend a boom arm it will improve much more. Also by having the mic more close to you you also can lower the gain on the mic giving you also less background noise and a richer sound as well.
Question: I get a lot of background noise and fan noise when I am recording via Premiere Pro. So what if I used this noise cancellation software, and then recorded via switching from my speakers to my Microphone? Would it make a difference?
Hey Medjay! Thank you for watching! What I usually do is I use sonar to EQ my mic and also the AI clear cast for the background noise removal and send that mic to OBS for audio or video recording and add to adobe premiere. Now if you are only using audio you can also send to audacity from sonar and add your audio to premiere. If you are voice over in premiere that I think you can send the mic to sonar and on premiere select Steelseries mic since will be your mic with all the EQ and background removal in it .
Hey Typicalchucky! Thank you for watching! unfortunatelyI don't have a Mac to answer that question 100% , but OBS which runs on Mac have great plugins for enhance your Mic. I will look into this to make a video using OBS only that way windows and Mac users can use as well.
I'm confused, so are we supposed to use OBS at the same time in order for Sonar to work? Also I did the exact same as your instructions in the video when it comes to the EQ adjustment and Noise Cancellation. However, while I'm doing that and listening I couldn't hear anything chance. I wonder if it's something I didn't set correctly at the beginning in the settings. Why none of the effects takes place? I can still hear myself clearly it's just that any adjustment in the EQ doesn't seem to alter anything. Need an answer to this.
Hey beyondintervals! Thank you for watching! So about OBS, you not need OBS to be running to use Sonar. Sonar is a stand alone software that will slow your mic going through that and output on any software you need to have with the EQ and the AI clear cast and compressor if you use. About why you are not hearing the change on your mic, first make sure you are not monitoring your mic on your mic itself . Second make sure on your windows playback audio settings is set as Steelseries sonar mic as the main mic. Let me know if that resolved this issue ok?👍🏻
@RodiBroGamer Sonar can't be enabled It didn't work, still on infinite loading.. I'm going crazy fixing this.. Any steelseries support that can help me?
Hey gamerblarabi! I suggest uninstall the software , restart the oc and installing again. You probably rubbed into a glitch somehow. If that doesn’t work best thing to do is going to Steelseries Discord for technical support direct from them. I have not encountered any issues since I installed and being using for 2 years daily .
@@FiercebiteVODs Yes the Quadcast is very sensitive. I suggest to have the mic on the first dot of volume itself then adjust in Sonar for the volume and test. Also if you using on a boom arm helps a lot be way from your keyboard. Also make sure on OBS you add your mic source as sonar mic not your quadcast x otherwise it will bypass sonar
@@jgriffstahuk9080 Thank you for watching!! I’m using a custom EQ. I share that exactly settings on a comments from this video with a link . Click there and it will upload to your sonar.👍🏻
helloo, i dont know anything about microphones and their settings so i completely copied yours and i liked the way it sounds. my only thing is that my screams get quieter and i'd personally like them to be a bit louder but i have no clue what settings id have to use for that.. i hope u have an easy answer for me! youve already helped me a ton by this video
@@ribbows Hello 👋🏼!! Thank you for watching and glad the video helped!! So try to lower the percentage on Clearcast AI if not leave the way it was and Sonar is a gain control in the EQ as well. Give some gain and test it out. Let me know if did work better.
Hey Enfilde! Thank you for watching! My Hyperx Quadcast mute button works normally. Sonar should not interfere with the mic mute button. You must have a different issue. If you need more help reach me on Discord on our server send me a screenshot or video and I will try to help you ok? 😃
Have issue with the mic. If you tap the volume dial accidently, it sometimes turns on. You can't speak then, it makes you sound like a chipmunk. Sometimes it goes on by itself without touching. Also, makes you sound like a chipmunk. I'm using Windows 10 and this is a persistent issue. The company has has no solution.
Hey Charles! Thank you for watching ! It sounds you have a defect unit. If you did buy recently try to exchange if you can if not unfortunately you will need to get another mic 😫
Hey, thanks for the vid. It seems like my mic only works when I have the recording settings page open when going via control panel - Hardware and Sound - Sound, and then on the recording tab. This is really peculiar and I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hey Wibzoid! Thank you for watching !! Sound like a glitch on windows audio settings. Have you try use this mic without sonar to see if does the same thing? I will check it out will let you know.
@@RodiBroGamer Thanks for your reply. I've used this mic many times before. Played around with Sonar and no success. I did some research and it seems others have been having this issue but no one has found an answer. Please let me know if you can help further. Thanks!
Great video! Question - friends are saying that my mic got a lot quieter compared to just selecting hyperx quadcast as input even after turning me up to 120%. How would I remedy this? Windows and sonar mic levels are 100% and my dial is turned all the way.
No worries man, not your fault. It's just in discord. When I test via any mic recorders, or even in when I test in discord it sounds just fine but my friends all says it's way too low. I'm beginning to think it's just discord's crap compression @@RodiBroGamer
@@swissayy yeah i think is better to desable all enhance from discord compressor and all since you already using on Sonar other wise I think quality can downgrade.
Hey Johnnykimrealestate! Thank you for watching! So the answer is no. If you connect this mic to your DSLR with the 3.5mm the DSLR will pick up the raw sound of the mic not the one from Sonar with the EQ. If you want to record a video with your DSLR and use this mic with Sonar you will want to use OBS.
Hey bigboybencer! Thank you for watching! Check your windows audio settings. Make sure on PLAYBACK TAB the default device is Sonar Gaming and the default communication device is Sonar Chat. On the RECORDING TAB make sure the default device is Sonar Microphone. I think your issue is in there . Let me know if that fixed .
Hey lukasbarronn! Thank you for watching! If you don't want to monitor your voice after EQ your Mic just click on the headphone icon on sonar toggle off so you wont hear yourself.
When i use sonar and do this settings, will this settings be applied in all Kind of Apps for the Sound of the mic Like discord or do i have to Change the settings in all Apps seperate. I Hope you can understand my Bad english, Iam fein Germany 😂
Hey bestiankaminski6544! Thank you for watching!! You english is great!! Yes to your question. With any settings you do on Sonar it will be apply to any App you want to use for it Because your mic passthrough Sonar and get the EQ you want to any app. 😁👍
@@bastiankaminski6544 you’re welcome! If you toggle off the EQ on the mic your mic will be sound raw normal like default from factory. When you need to use with your settings just toggle on. I think that you are asking?
Hey Drizzy! Thank you for watching! Sorry you having this issue. What gain level you have on your quadcast? Try to set on the first dot gain and adjust more gain if you need on the sonar. That also could be a cable if still popping.
I got it on the first dot. i tried first and second @@RodiBroGamer its brand new too. Maybe I got a faulty cable? My yeti mic doesnt do it, sounds perfect.. :(
Am I getting the QUADCAST S for my upcoming podcast my room is treated well it's small with a lot of stuff to prevent noise and echos would you recommend me getting the QUADCAST S for $140 in my country is ti worth it? ( great video by the way if i get mine i'll defiantly use these tips )
Hey SKLL3TR! Thank you for watching!! So the Quadcast S will work really well on your room for sure if you buying a UBS type of mic. My room has carpet works just as you hear in the video. Is a great mic. Now Hyperx did release a mic, very similar to XLR connection. Is good too but you will need a mixer with XLR input.
@@RodiBroGamer thanks for the reply, that's why am not getting into the XLR side it's too much money for a new project i don't even know if it will grow and go the distance that's why i was aiming for the quadcast
@@SKLL3TR For sure a wise decision. Hyperx Quadcast is an amazing mic and for me does really well after EQ. I use my regular for other projects and definitely is a good investment.
Hey silver! Thank you for watching! Have you choose Steelseries sonar mic on discord or your game settings? If you do I need more details on your setup could be a detail missing or something faulty along the chain.
Hey, dabohler8661! Thank you for watching! Make sure your gain is very low on the mic itself and make-up on the software. Are you still having too much background noise even with AI Clearcast on more than 50%?
Hey MGE__JAY! Thank you for watching! I use those settings i showed on the video and some weeks to my voice. You should use this video as a start point and adjust to your voice type. Where are you using this Mic with those settings at?
Hey akasomh! Thanks for watching! If you use your mic with sonar on your laptop for streaming, the mic with all the EQ and all will work on your live stream. Now not sure on gamechat on the console but i think if the console have a option to choose which will be steelseriessonar mic then it will work there as well.
Het SaddleUpForHistory! Thank you for watching! Do you mean the video tutorial was hard to hear on the part where I turned on the EQ? Just want to make sure I understand your question.
@@SaddleUpForHistory yes absolutely. Start by increasing the volume on the mic itself first a little and see if is better . That would probably resolve the low volume .
Hey hertherapist! Thank you for watching! To add more dots to the EQ just hover your mouse on the line and click the plus sign to add more dots on the EQ. Hope I understand your question and could answer it. Let me know! 😁
Fala Heitor beleza!! Sim esse programa é muito bom de graça e constantemente tendo upgrades. Uso direto pro meu phone e meu mic quando tenho que gravar . Obrigado por assistir 👍🏻👍🏻😁
Hello Samantha! Thank you for watching! No at this moment I already sent to then a request as well which will be nice. I’m also working in a video that could be an alternative for Mac users but not with sonar
Hey Stephenseibel5544! Thank you for watching! So my voice usually have more treble than normal. All settings i share is to give you a start point for you to customize further so if is less crisp and you need to add more treble add on sonar EQ. Don't need to increase gain. Also important to make sure you speaking close to the mic as make a lot difference. If you want to send me a sample of the voice send me on discord if you need more help ok?
I don't know if you found out the white bar problem yet but left click on the dots, the second one should say Low Shelving and last one High Shelving and the rest are Peaking EQ if you left click on them type in the Q factor as well, I JUST figured that out myself lol
@@markypoo2140 Hey!! Ohh yeah if you just copy where the dots are you may get a different sound that I had. Yes you need to input manually all the info the GAIN. FREQ and Q. Sorry I was looking what else could be to help you lol. I'm glad you figure it out 😁😁👍👍
@@markypoo2140 thank you for the support! Yes I’m planning to release more videos about Sonar soon. If you want me to show something specific let me know 😁👍🏻
Hey Kki1z! Thank you for watching! Now just tweek if necessary for your voice type and use that to send to any other place that you use your mic like OBS for live stream or Discord or any other program that you may want this Mic EQ.

Fala Borges beleza? Obrigado por assistir brother! 👍🏻 Você usa dual pc ou um pc pra jogar our ir live? Você também só tá usando o sonar ou também um mixer como o GOXLR?
Hey ! Thank you for watching! Sorry about that my video description disappeared with that info. The application is Sonar from Steelseries. Link here: steelseries.com/gg/sonar-for-streamers
Hey Bowzerbro! Thanks for watching! If you asking to add a link on description of my settings on sonar that will not be possible since Sonar is an app not a web type app. So just watch the part of the video you need to add the settings and customize to your setup ok?
Hey Andres . The app needs to be open on the background but shouldn’t use much if not almost nothing on CPU. I don’t think would affect when you are playing it dosent for me tho .
Hey jefsan! Thank you for watching! On Sonar make sure you click on the headphone icon on the mixer to turn off that way you won’t hear yourself . If you using in OBS from Sonar make sure on audio settings for your mic ( audio advance settings ) is set to monitor off.
Hey arathiil1717! Thank you for watching! This is a free software from Steelseries ( a headphone , accessory and more for gamers or contents creators or in general that create this software called Sonar where you have full control of your PC audio , headphones and or microphones.

Hey Enfilde! Thank you for watching! My Hyperx Quadcast mute button works normally. Sonar should not interfere with the mic mute button. You must have a different issue. If you need more help reach me on Discord on our server send me a screenshot or video and I will try to help you ok? 😃
Have issue with the mic. If you tap the volume dial accidently, it sometimes turns on. You can't speak then, it makes you sound like a chipmunk. Sometimes it goes on by itself without touching. Also, makes you sound like a chipmunk. I'm using Windows 10 and this is a persistent issue. The company has has no solution.
Hey Charles! Thank you for watching ! It sounds you have a defect unit. If you did buy recently try to exchange if you can if not unfortunately you will need to get another mic 😫
Hey, thanks for the vid. It seems like my mic only works when I have the recording settings page open when going via control panel - Hardware and Sound - Sound, and then on the recording tab. This is really peculiar and I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hey Wibzoid! Thank you for watching !! Sound like a glitch on windows audio settings. Have you try use this mic without sonar to see if does the same thing? I will check it out will let you know.
@@RodiBroGamer Thanks for your reply. I've used this mic many times before. Played around with Sonar and no success. I did some research and it seems others have been having this issue but no one has found an answer. Please let me know if you can help further. Thanks!
Great video! Question - friends are saying that my mic got a lot quieter compared to just selecting hyperx quadcast as input even after turning me up to 120%. How would I remedy this? Windows and sonar mic levels are 100% and my dial is turned all the way.
Hey siwssayy! Thank you for watching! Sorry you having this issue 😫 is this happening on discord for some reason or in game chat ?
No worries man, not your fault. It's just in discord. When I test via any mic recorders, or even in when I test in discord it sounds just fine but my friends all says it's way too low. I'm beginning to think it's just discord's crap compression @@RodiBroGamer
@@swissayy yeah i think is better to desable all enhance from discord compressor and all since you already using on Sonar other wise I think quality can downgrade.
When I change these settings, would they also apply when I plug my 3.5mm to my DSLR to my Hypercast mic?
Hey Johnnykimrealestate! Thank you for watching! So the answer is no. If you connect this mic to your DSLR with the 3.5mm the DSLR will pick up the raw sound of the mic not the one from Sonar with the EQ. If you want to record a video with your DSLR and use this mic with Sonar you will want to use OBS.
so it works but why does it not work in game? like my mic is still picking up background noise for them...
@@Jump4Treee Thank you for watching! So in game you need to select sonar mic instead your mic otherwise it will bypass the EQ and all from sonar .
@@RodiBroGamer thanks for the help 🙏
How did you get the mic activity bar to move only in the mic and not mic and another section cauwe for me I have mic activit in mic and game
Hey bigboybencer! Thank you for watching! Check your windows audio settings. Make sure on PLAYBACK TAB the default device is Sonar Gaming and the default communication device is Sonar Chat. On the RECORDING TAB make sure the default device is Sonar Microphone. I think your issue is in there . Let me know if that fixed .
Is anyone else having problems seeing the numbers shown I couldn’t get any of thekn
Hey apervycat! Thank you for watching! If you want to copy the settings click on the link i shared at the top of the comments ok?
@ thank you so much
i downloaded the software but it doesnt look anything like that and i dont see the mixer..
Hey Trench_Rock! Thank you for watching! Check on the right top corner of stream mode is off. If it is turn on it should look like mine.
@@RodiBroGamer I figured it out, turns out i was in the settings menu without realising. Thanks for the video!
@@Trench_Rock Nice! Glad you figured out Trench! You’re very welcome !👍🏻😁
so question, what do i do to where i can keep the equalizer but not hear my voice through my headset?
Hey lukasbarronn! Thank you for watching! If you don't want to monitor your voice after EQ your Mic just click on the headphone icon on sonar toggle off so you wont hear yourself.
nice settings !
Thanks for watching taki38!! 😁👍🏻👍🏻
THX! :D
Hey ItsAkitzu! Thank you for watching! 😁👍🏻👍🏻
how do i make it to where i cant hear my self after im done tweaking the mic settings
Hey seth9802! Make sure on the Main Mixer on Sonar, the Mic Channel the headphone icon is on. Tha way you can hear yourself. Thank you for watching!
When i use sonar and do this settings, will this settings be applied in all Kind of Apps for the Sound of the mic Like discord or do i have to Change the settings in all Apps seperate. I Hope you can understand my Bad english, Iam fein Germany 😂
Hey bestiankaminski6544! Thank you for watching!! You english is great!! Yes to your question. With any settings you do on Sonar it will be apply to any App you want to use for it Because your mic passthrough Sonar and get the EQ you want to any app. 😁👍
@@RodiBroGamer thanks you ! And is there a Setting to set all settings to defeault back ?
@@bastiankaminski6544 you’re welcome! If you toggle off the EQ on the mic your mic will be sound raw normal like default from factory. When you need to use with your settings just toggle on. I think that you are asking?
@@RodiBroGamer yes thanks u for ur help 🙌🏻
I have it plugged into a 3.0 usb port and its new. I keep getting a popping static noise at when i talk / speak. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hey Drizzy! Thank you for watching! Sorry you having this issue. What gain level you have on your quadcast? Try to set on the first dot gain and adjust more gain if you need on the sonar. That also could be a cable if still popping.
I got it on the first dot. i tried first and second @@RodiBroGamer its brand new too. Maybe I got a faulty cable? My yeti mic doesnt do it, sounds perfect.. :(
@@DrizzyDiazz yeah so sorry could be a faulty cable . Do you have a spare one to test it?
Which of the 4 polar voice setting are you using on the mic itself? Thank you!
Hey blueieie! Thank you for watching!! I'm using Cardioid. 2nd from right to left.
Am I getting the QUADCAST S for my upcoming podcast my room is treated well it's small with a lot of stuff to prevent noise and echos would you recommend me getting the QUADCAST S for $140 in my country is ti worth it? ( great video by the way if i get mine i'll defiantly use these tips )
Hey SKLL3TR! Thank you for watching!! So the Quadcast S will work really well on your room for sure if you buying a UBS type of mic. My room has carpet works just as you hear in the video. Is a great mic. Now Hyperx did release a mic, very similar to XLR connection. Is good too but you will need a mixer with XLR input.
@@RodiBroGamer thanks for the reply, that's why am not getting into the XLR side it's too much money for a new project i don't even know if it will grow and go the distance that's why i was aiming for the quadcast
@@SKLL3TR For sure a wise decision. Hyperx Quadcast is an amazing mic and for me does really well after EQ. I use my regular for other projects and definitely is a good investment.
Thank you sooooo much, my microphone has been sounding like crap for months
Hey Bonnielol!! Thank you for watching!! So glad this EQ helped!! Now go be famous 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
For some reason my voice does not get into other games or discord, how do I fix this?
Hey silver! Thank you for watching! Have you choose Steelseries sonar mic on discord or your game settings? If you do I need more details on your setup could be a detail missing or something faulty along the chain.
It helped a little for me but you still hear a lot of background noise...
Hey, dabohler8661! Thank you for watching! Make sure your gain is very low on the mic itself and make-up on the software. Are you still having too much background noise even with AI Clearcast on more than 50%?
its showing all the equalizer dots
my mic still doesnt sound anywhere near as clear as yours, how do you make it sound as clear as yours?
Hey MGE__JAY! Thank you for watching! I use those settings i showed on the video and some weeks to my voice. You should use this video as a start point and adjust to your voice type. Where are you using this Mic with those settings at?
im a console player , if i Did your settings on my laptop , the mic well save it? if i connect to my ps5 ?
Hey akasomh! Thanks for watching! If you use your mic with sonar on your laptop for streaming, the mic with all the EQ and all will work on your live stream. Now not sure on gamechat on the console but i think if the console have a option to choose which will be steelseriessonar mic then it will work there as well.
Hi do you know how to fix when the mic makes your voice sounds deeper i got the same mic
Hey bloxlotz! Thank you for watching! Are you having too much bass on your voice with those EQ from the video?
the software is still downloading im trying to see if anything wrong with my mic because i wanna record video @@RodiBroGamer
im trying to make sure my mic is ready for the video ima film @@RodiBroGamer
I fixed my issues straight from obs and it works fine
It got significantly harder to hear you after you enabled your settings, is there a way to do this with a higher volume?
Het SaddleUpForHistory! Thank you for watching! Do you mean the video tutorial was hard to hear on the part where I turned on the EQ? Just want to make sure I understand your question.
@@RodiBroGamerYes the quality definitely got better but the volume reduced noticably. To compensate should I just up the gain?
@@SaddleUpForHistory yes absolutely. Start by increasing the volume on the mic itself first a little and see if is better . That would probably resolve the low volume .
How do you get all those extra color dots for the settings
Hey hertherapist! Thank you for watching! To add more dots to the EQ just hover your mouse on the line and click the plus sign to add more dots on the EQ. Hope I understand your question and could answer it. Let me know! 😁
Muito bom, não conhecia o Sonar. Estava usando o voicemeeter mas vez ou outra ele apresenta algum problema, vídeo top!
Fala Heitor beleza!! Sim esse programa é muito bom de graça e constantemente tendo upgrades. Uso direto pro meu phone e meu mic quando tenho que gravar . Obrigado por assistir 👍🏻👍🏻😁
No Mac software, right? Only PC?
Hello Samantha! Thank you for watching! No at this moment I already sent to then a request as well which will be nice. I’m also working in a video that could be an alternative for Mac users but not with sonar
i can ear myself in my headset with it and cant hear game audio do u have a fix?
Hey jyphex! Thanks for watching! Are you on a single pc or dual? If is dual are you have the sonar on gaming pc?
My white bar in the equalizer is different than yours and sounds way less crisp even with all the same settings am i missing something?
Hey Stephenseibel5544! Thank you for watching! So my voice usually have more treble than normal. All settings i share is to give you a start point for you to customize further so if is less crisp and you need to add more treble add on sonar EQ. Don't need to increase gain. Also important to make sure you speaking close to the mic as make a lot difference. If you want to send me a sample of the voice send me on discord if you need more help ok?
I don't know if you found out the white bar problem yet but left click on the dots, the second one should say Low Shelving and last one High Shelving and the rest are Peaking EQ if you left click on them type in the Q factor as well, I JUST figured that out myself lol
@@markypoo2140 Hey!! Ohh yeah if you just copy where the dots are you may get a different sound that I had. Yes you need to input manually all the info the GAIN. FREQ and Q. Sorry I was looking what else could be to help you lol. I'm glad you figure it out 😁😁👍👍
@RodiBroGamer amazing video overall though, I've been patiently waiting for more sonar videos but this one takes the cake
@@markypoo2140 thank you for the support! Yes I’m planning to release more videos about Sonar soon. If you want me to show something specific let me know 😁👍🏻
please tell me why i hear my own voice when talking
Hey TheZack2x! Thanks for watching watching! If you don’t want to monitor your voice just mute in sonar ( headphone icon) on your mic section.
Ok what should i do after put this setting?
Hey Kki1z! Thank you for watching! Now just tweek if necessary for your voice type and use that to send to any other place that you use your mic like OBS for live stream or Discord or any other program that you may want this Mic EQ.
Thx so much
Hey mannalitoswa! Thank you for watching !😃👍🏻
Will this apply to how I sound in discord ?
@ujtfutfvjfjjmvrjf5775 ! Thank you for watching! Yes, it does since you will be using the mic from Sonar with all the EQ on it.
keep up the good work bro, dont forget for streams too🎉
Thank you Charles!! Will do!! DS2 Soon lol
@@RodiBroGamer OMG OMG OMG
does this setting will go into discord , game and all that ? pls answer me🙏🏻
Hey emirullh7408! Thank you for watching! Yes it will! Just make sure to use Steelseries mic on discord or in game chat 👍🏻😁
tysm bro
Hey rexoxviii! You're welcome!! Thank you for watching!!😁
opa amigo, obrigado por ensinar, mas quando clipo momentos dos meus jogos (pelo nvidia) as vozes dos meus amigos na call do discord nao aparecem nos clips, voce pode me ajudar?
Fala Borges beleza? Obrigado por assistir brother! 👍🏻 Você usa dual pc ou um pc pra jogar our ir live? Você também só tá usando o sonar ou também um mixer como o GOXLR?
Can i use this for OBS?
Hey edierc! Thanks for watching! Yes, you can. You need to add as Steelseries sonar mic as your mic source on OBS.
I think it sounds better without the EQ
Hey thermartz12! Maybe your voice dosent need that much EQ so feel free to adjust or use only the compressor if needs.
what application you use?
Hey ! Thank you for watching! Sorry about that my video description disappeared with that info. The application is Sonar from Steelseries. Link here: steelseries.com/gg/sonar-for-streamers
Can put mic settings share Sonar link in comments or desc?
Hey Bowzerbro! Thanks for watching! If you asking to add a link on description of my settings on sonar that will not be possible since Sonar is an app not a web type app. So just watch the part of the video you need to add the settings and customize to your setup ok?
does this work on games?
Hey Sleepyyhero! Thanks for watching! It should as you need to select in game mic to use a sonar microphone that is routing your mic with EQ.
W
do i have to keep the app open or no
Hey Andres . The app needs to be open on the background but shouldn’t use much if not almost nothing on CPU. I don’t think would affect when you are playing it dosent for me tho .
im hearing myself i dont know how to take that off
Hey jefsan! Thank you for watching! On Sonar make sure you click on the headphone icon on the mixer to turn off that way you won’t hear yourself . If you using in OBS from Sonar make sure on audio settings for your mic ( audio advance settings ) is set to monitor off.
what programme is that?
Hey arathiil1717! Thank you for watching! This is a free software from Steelseries ( a headphone , accessory and more for gamers or contents creators or in general that create this software called Sonar where you have full control of your PC audio , headphones and or microphones.
tbh it sounds better before the EQ added. No offense.
Hey SOCOMJOHN! No problem , it is all good! Thank you for watching and comment your feedback!👍👍
i tried leaving steelseries gg, but here i am crawling back 😭
Oxi vc é br pq fez o vídeo em inglês mano kkkkkkkkk
Falls brother beleza! Então moro aqui nos USA e abri o canal focando mais no inglês mesmo pois atinge vários outros países, mas mais pra frente com pouco mais de tempo abrirei um canal falando português so. 🤣

The best app, thank you so much, the mic itself its good, just the hyperx guys needs to make a software for it, as steelseries
Hey IGGsurushi! Thank you for watching! Completely agree! They need to invest in that because in the meantime other companies are already doing even maono that is smaller in brand already have it.
@@RodiBroGamer Trust me, you helped me so much, I’ve been on it since yesterday trying to find something to cancel my background noise, and it works so good everyone says I sound different and better, thank you so much @RodiBroGamer!!+1 sub
