THE GAMEDAC

The GameDAC is a small external controller (roughly the size of a small gaming mouse) which has the SteelSeries name at the top right beneath an OLED screen, control button and a control knob.

The host USB headset port is placed on the right side of the GameDAC while at the rear we find the optical port, micro USB port and two 3.5mm audio out ports.

Setting up the Arctis Pro with GameDAC is very easy, just connect the headset to the GameDAC and the GameDAC to your PC, Hi-Res compatible device and/or Playstation 4.

Once you do you will need to select the type of device you connected the GameDAC with as seen above.

If you happen to live in the EU like we do you should know that there are safety limits placed on the volume level headsets and other devices can reach (including smartphones) so since SteelSeries wants to be legally covered the GameDAC asks you whether or not you are an EU citizen (if you want the maximum possible volume you should check no).

Once you complete all 19 steps the OLED screen displays the type of device connected with, audio quality/resolution, DTS status, volume level, ChatMix levels and a left/right equalizer.
