When connected to the Sound Blaster ZxR, the built-in beamforming microphone features CrystalVoice
technologies which is designed to deliver crystal clear vocal fidelity in multiplayer games, online chats
and video conferencing. It also enhances voice communications for popular VoIP solutions. Voice effects
can be controlled using bundled software, ie. Sound Blaster Z-Series Control Panel.
The options of 3.5mm and 6.3mm Microphone and Headphone jacks let you have choices of your own on
which headset or microphone to be used for recording, and audiophile grade connection through the
gold-plated jacks on the ACM and Sound Blaster ZxR.
The Volume Control knob on the ACM controls the volume output to your headphones, giving you quick
control over the audio level from your games or music.
