Overview



The best gameplay involves intuitive controls that support split-second decisions made while in the game. As the first in its series of premium gaming audio solutions for experienced gamers, Sound Blaster GC7 hands you the winning formula to conquer any game—the access to a plethora of programmable controls built directly on the device for quick switches when gaming.

Designed with convenience in mind, you can make on-the-fly adjustments to your game and chat volume mix with GameVoice Mix, tweak your audio and microphone settings, and switch quickly between different sound modes—all with just a button press.

And that's definitely not all! Armed with both Sound Blaster's audio processing expertise and our award-winning Super X-Fi Headphone Holography, the Sound Blaster GC7 is powered by a dual-DSP system to provide you with an edge over your opponents using superior battle tools like the Scout Mode and SXFI BATTLE Mode.

GAIN CONTROL
Timing is everything. Stop fumbling over your settings for a specific control while battling in an intense gameplay or streaming live to your audience; there's simply no time for that.

FULLY PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS
The Sound Blaster GC7 sports four programmable buttons on its body for quick access to your saved presets. Customize each button as you see fit—whether it's to launch a third-party application, or turning on a set of specific streaming settings via shortcuts—it's all at your fingertips. And while you're at it, customize the RGB lighting on each button to match the rest of your setup, and game in the dark comfortably with the backlit LEDs.

QUICK AND EASY CONTROLS
When we say convenience, we really do mean it. Beyond the four programmable buttons, we went further and integrated a full set of easy-access controls for audio, microphone, and surround mode adjustments at your fingertips.

You can also toggle between Super X-Fi audio holography and Sound Blaster Acoustic Engine Surround, or turn on SXFI BATTLE Mode or Scout Mode with just a press of button.

DUAL DSP
Two is definitely better than one. We've packed our best audio innovations—our award-winning Super X-Fi Headphone Holography and Sound Blaster audio processing—into the Sound Blaster GC7 for the ultimate gaming experience!

Super X-Fi Headphone Holography captures the listening experience of a high-end multi-speaker system in a professional studio and recreates the same expansive experience in headphones. Powered by the UltraDSP chip, step into an alternate reality with Super X-Fi's hyper-realistic audio that mirrors an accurate sense of space and directionality, and escape to another reality in your favorite fantasy or open world games using any headphones of your choice.

With Sound Blaster's full suite of audio enhancements, expect top-tier audio processing like Surround Virtualization from the Sound Blaster chip, and make your audio uniquely yours by customizing the settings of other audio features like Crystalizer, Smart Volume, and Dialog Plus. Fine-tuned over three decades, our audio processing techniques can be enjoyed on both speakers and headphones so you don't have to pick a side.

7.1 VIRTUAL SURROUND
We're all about providing you with the best audio experience tailored to your needs. If you prefer the traditional surround approach, the Sound Blaster GC7 also supports up to 7.1 virtual surround on both headphones and speakers, as well as Dolby Audio decoding1 for a cinematic audio experience.

GLORY & CONQUEST
Well hello there, MVP. Raise your KDR even further in FPS games with an unfair advantage over your opponents! The Sound Blaster GC7 is equipped with both SXFI BATTLE Mode and Scout Mode, so you can choose2 the best weapon for your victory.

Hear your surroundings in games, just like how you would in real life. SXFI BATTLE Mode is the first and only sound mode that allows you to hear not only the directionality of where the gunshots are coming from, but distance as well—so you can accurately pinpoint your enemies' locations to the millimeter.

Combined with the hyper-realistic Super X-Fi audio and its unprecedented level of audio clarity and depth, gain the extra edge in first-person shooter games that's not just accurate, but immersive too.

If you've been with us throughout our Sound Blaster journey, you'd know. Scout Mode is one of our trademark sound modes that focuses on detection through enhanced audio cues, highlighting each and every in-game detail that could make or break the game.

Whether it's the sound of your enemies' gun reload or a slight ruffle in the grass, Scout Mode is sure to bring the cues right to your ears. Detect your enemies' slightest movement before even seeing them on screen!

GAMEVOICE MIX
Winning = Clear Strategy + Effective Communication.

Sound Blaster GC7 allows you to control the right balance of your game and chat audio without having to leave your game screen or opening mixer settings with the GameVoice Mix feature.

Having an important strategy discussion on Discord? Increase the chat volume just by turning the GameVoice Mix control knob to the right. Need to focus on the game with the in-game audio cues? Decrease the chat volume and increase your game audio by turning the control knob to the left.

It's so intuitive, you can make adjustments without even looking at the device, and keep your eyes on screen.

AUDIOPHILE-CLASS DAC
At the core of the Sound Blaster GC7 is the AKM4377 audiophile-grade DAC which offers low noise floor at < -120 dB, low distortion, and more distinct individual sound effects. Stream at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz PCM playback and enjoy high-quality audio regardless of which source you're using.
