Creative Labs 240837 External Sound Card G3

This item is brand-new, factory sealed.

THIS IS IT. THE FIRST SOUND BLASTER MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR PLAYSTATION 4 AND NINTENDO SWITCH USERS.

If you were a PC user, it would be easy getting a DAC, amp, or sound card to satisfy your audio needs. But why isn't it the same for console users? With 30 years of legacy and technical expertise in PC audio, we are venturing beyond the PC and into gaming consoles, and the Sound Blaster G3 is our answer. Designed to be a fuss-free, driverless audio upgrade for your gaming consoles, the G3 is meant to provide users with premium gaming features without having to break the bank.

Making our first foray into gaming audio on consoles, we debut our latest GameVoice Mix for game and voice chat balance capability, a customizable EQ preset with custom-tuned Footsteps Enhancer, and on-the-fly audio adjustments without having to exit your game's screen.

If all you have ever known is the default audio on your consoles, try the G3. We'll let its performance speak for itself.

DRIVERLESS AUDIO UPGRADE

Powered by USB-C. Perfect for PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac.

An instant audio upgrade, the G3 is powered entirely via USB-C. This one dongle works directly across the different platforms that you own-PS4, Switch, PC, or even Mac. The best part? The setup doesn't get more straightforward than how we've designed the G3 to be-no special software, and no drivers needed. And to enjoy USB audio, simply plug in the G3 to your devices, and it will work straight out of the box.

For devices with the older USB-A port, we've provided a USB-C to USB-A converter. All that's required is for you to plug the converter onto the G3, and plug it into the USB Type-A port to hear improved audio quality.
