SteelSeries GameDAC Information Guide

GameDACPRODUCT INFORMATION GUIDE

WELCOME TO GAMEDAC

History showed us that gaming headsets rarely looked good and sounded worse, so we made Arctis and put all other headsets on notice. Next, the audiophiles said that a gaming headset could never stand up to dedicated headphones, so we made Arctis Pro and changed the game.Like you, we are esports pros, pub stars, 5 am raiders, 1hp heroes, streamers, and dreamers. Your Arctis Pro was forged out of our belief that gaming isn’t your way to escape reality, it’s your path to rewrite it.
