Turtle Beach Z6A Overview

The Turtle Beach Z6A PC headset combines the audio quality and comfort of a professional-grade gaming headset with the full impact and 3D positional accuracy of multi-speaker 5.1 surround sound. With eight premium speakers, including dual subwoofers, the Z6A is powered by a 5.1 channel amplifier with bass enhancement, letting you pinpoint critical sound cues from every direction.

Designed to deliver high quality 5.1 surround sound, the Z6A incorporates 4 premium speakers in each ear cup, including 40mm subwoofers for extended bass and extraordinary dynamic range. Providing more realistic directional audio perception, the front and surround speakers in the Z6A are acoustically angled, allowing you to more accurately pinpoint sounds than conventional flat speakers.

The Z6A amplifier gives you quick access to independent controls for all 5.1 audio channels, letting you tune your Z6A for any gaming situation. The headset and amplifier also feature a quick disconnect so you can easily detach it without having to unplug the 5.1 outputs from your computer.

Please Note: The Earforce Z6A requires that your PC has a 5.1 SS sound card to function as a surround sound headset. With a standard sound card the Z6A will only function as a stereo headset. See the Extra Info tab for more details.
