open area but if you have walls and all that kind of stuff then that would suffer honestly i didn't really experience any interruptions here in my smaller studio space but i don't plan to use bluetooth as much as i would with this katana because the real deal comes with just you know plugging in it directly to a source the built-in rgb lighting is still here and the diffusion is gorgeous guys it looks amazing at night there are seven effects that you can cycle between like color wave solo lights up the entire led array with a single color that can be customizable through the software pulsate morph and my personal favorite aurora now if you plan to set it up with your pc there's actually dedicated driver software that comes with the vNUMBER_TOKEN called the creative app so let's actually take a look at what it offers as you can see the home page gives you a bird's eye view of all the settings that you can adjust starting with sound modes where there are a ton of presets to choose from including some custom profiles for certain games the super xNUMBER_TOKEN button is used to enable the virtual surround sound mode when you plug in a pair of headphones to the audio jack located at the front acoustic engine has options where you can enable surround sound and a bunch of other effects that can be used to fit your style of listening you can do the same thing with the headphones as well which is nice there is an equalizer that you can play around with crystal voice has a bunch of microphone presets that you can choose from scout mode basically tightens up your directional queue for fps gaming the lighting tab is where you can customize the effects for rgb lighting beneath the soundbar decoder allows you to control the dynamic range of your volume there's a separate mixer tab to monitor the levels and finally custom buttons which essentially lets you program commands to these six buttons included in the remote do keep in mind that whatever you do with the software gets directly programmed into the built-in memory profile or the built-in memory of the soundbar so it comes with you wherever you go all right quick change of scenery here because i wanted to test another thoughtful feature added to the vNUMBER_TOKEN which is a built-in microphone now i'm sure most gamers are going to rely on gaming or dedicated headsets for comms and i would stay away from using a soundbar with a built-in microphone for both listening to and talking to at the same time because those two are just going to clash at each other but let's just say that you want to attend a quick skype meeting or zoom meeting this will actually get the job done creative does say that they've included some noise canceling characteristics but you know for my testing i just didn't really notice that much of a difference now i will say that if you actually go into the create crystal voice tab that's on the driver software there are a bunch of presets that you can play around with uh that basically improves your audio quality so if i go into the microphone equalizer and enable that now you're listening to preset NUMBER_TOKEN which improves vocal and quality it emphasizes my vocals which naturally brings up background noise and actually sounds more compressed but if i switch over to let's say preset NUMBER_TOKEN it's just a happy medium where it boosts my vocals slightly there are just tons of
