About the Razer Megalodon
The Razer Megalodon is powered by the Razer Maelstrom Audio
Engine, which has the ability to process audio algorithms up to 800%
faster than traditional HRTF virtual surround sound technologies. The
Razer Megalodon is thus able to offer a convincing and realistic
positional sound stage. Gamers looking for an in-game advantage will
be able to listen to the positional cues emitted by the Razer
Megalodon and hear incoming threats before the threat can actually be
seen onscreen. Coupled with an amplified microphone with adjustable
sensitivity and leveling, the Razer Megalodon is a complete audio
communications package.
The Razer Maelstrom Audio Engine originated as a military grade
audio technology developed for fighter pilots who needed precise audio
warnings for incoming missiles. The Razer Megalodon is based on this
same platform, but developed specifically for gaming.
The Razer Megalodon encompasses a circum-aural headset with
replaceable ear-pad cushions, a cushioned headband and an adjustable
boom mic. The control pod is connected to the headset via a braided
cable and comes in a glossy piano black finish with a rotating dial
adjustment for volume, mic, bass and positional sound. Meant as desk
controller, the control pod allows gamers to switch effortlessly
between 2.0 stereo and 7.1 surround sound, even controlling which
speakers gamers prefer to use in the 7.1 environment.
