Yamaha ZG01

The ZG01 is Yamaha's first audio mixer designed specifically for in-game voice chat and game streaming.
This new mixer allows you to tailor the sound of the game, your voice, and the voice of the person you're chatting with to your own playing environment, while providing the ideal audio signal to both your chat partner and the audience you're streaming to.

The ZG01 also offers easy audio control with carefully selected physical controls, a number of DSP effects such as a chat voice changer and authentic surround sound processing through stereo headphones, as well as HDMI 2-in/1-out ports that double as an HDMI switcher and conversion adapter. The ZG01 offers a higher level of gaming sound and a more comfortable gaming environment.

Designed for gaming, voice chat, and streaming, the ZG01's physical controls provide easy and intuitive management of all your audio cues without detracting from your overall gaming experience.

Yamaha's new patented ViReal headphone technologies have been further optimized for gaming to maximize the 3D sound quality of your stereo headphones. Enjoy powerful gaming audio with unprecedented realism.

FOCUS MODE/EQ can suppress the sound of your own character's voice or enhance the ambient sounds of game audio. Settings can be configured to suit different game titles, scenes and play styles. For example, you can focus on the sound of your opponent's footsteps for a more authentic experience.

With 3D CHAT SPACE you will feel as if you are playing a game in the same room with your friends. Placing the other party's voice in a virtual 3D space avoids overlapping with game audio and voice chat, allowing you to hear all your audio signals clearly and comfortably.

Your multi-channel game audio is converted and processed by ZG to reproduce a surround sound experience that you can stream to your listeners.

When you install the dedicated driver on your computer (Windows/Mac), the ZG01 is recognized as two virtual devices and can send and receive two audio channels for different purposes. For example, you can set up a voice chat app to send only the audio of your voice, and a streaming app to broadcast game audio and voice chat.

The ZG01 is equipped with an HDMI port for connecting consumer game consoles, as well as other ports needed to build a more extensive gaming audio environment. Integrated features allow you to eliminate the often complicated and cumbersome wiring or adapters that peripherals often require.
