ZG02 Game Streaming Audio Mixer

Designed specifically with multiplayer gameplay in mind, the ZG02 makes communicating with your team a dream. Users can easily and precisely control the sounds they want to hear, the sound of their own voice, and the sound they want to deliver to their audience via the simple, tactile controls of the ZG02.

The ZG02 is equipped with three knobs for the three audio sources that influence your multiplayer gaming the most; your own voice, your team member’s voices, and all combined game audio. You can mix and control the levels of the voices you hear, and the voices your teammates and audience hear in real time, ensuring an optimal balance of volume that will have a dramatic effect on all aspects of your shared gaming experience.

Three conveniently placed one-touch preset buttons near the center of the console give you instant access to three types of effects processing; for your own voice, for game audio, and for sound FX that will liven up gameplay considerably. So not only can you adjust individual voice output levels, you can also assign and adjust effects to add more realistic depth and dimension. Our advanced signal processing technologies can also give you an added advantage in game performance, for example, by adding effects to emphasize the sound of enemy footsteps.

The ZG02 supports microphone connections from a variety of terminals based on the current preferences popular with gamers and streamers such as headsets and condenser mics. We’ve also set three optimal microphone gain levels based on these preferences to make getting the perfect volume adjustments as fast and easy as possible. You can even switch to a speaker connection with a single touch of a button if you get tired of wearing headphones for extended periods of time.

Gamers and streamers desktops can get pretty cluttered with computers, game consoles, keyboards, controllers, and any other equipment they feel is necessary for a comfortable, modern gaming lifestyle. With its attractive yet diminutive design, the ZG02 is smaller than a typical mixing interface and can even add to your gaming or work space’s aesthetic rather than overpower it. Integrating the superior sound quality and performance features of the ZG02 into your gaming or streaming ecosystem couldn’t be easier; simply connect to your gaming console and a power source via USB type-C, or if you’re a PC gamer just a single connection to your computer will power the unit. And with its more affordable price tag the ZG02 makes an ideal choice for both gamers and aspiring streamers alike.

Just as the previous version of the ZG Controller app allowed more detailed adjustments of volume and various effect settings, the new version of the app will allow users to get the most out of their ZG02’s functionality. The update enables more precise parameter control and features a new “link” function that lets users adjust volume levels in real time during streaming using the ZG02’s physical knobs instead of the ZG Controller’s virtual controls for a more convenient and tactile experience.

Yamaha's new proprietary "ViReal™ technologies for headphones" has been further optimized for gaming to maximize your stereo headphones' 3D sound quality. Enjoy powerful game sound with unprecedented realism.

FOCUS MODE/EQ can suppress the sound of your own character's voice or emphasizes environmental sounds of the game audio. The settings can be configured to suit a variety of game titles, scenes, and playing 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 were playing a game in the same room with your friends. By placing the other party's voice in a virtual 3D-space, it avoids overlap with game audio and voice chat, letting you hear all your audio signals clearly and comfortably.

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

Even if they are not ZG users, as long as they listen with stereo headphones, you can deliver the same immersive authenticity to your audience.
