Bury your enemies with audio precision
Gaming’s first ever parametric EQ lets you tweak sound
frequencies with
godlike exactness in the SteelSeries Sonar app. Enable spatial surround sound, improve your
microphone,
and make your friends sound better on Discord too—all from your MSI laptop.
Parametric EQ
Hear what matters most
Amplify or reduce specific in-game sounds to hear
real-time footsteps,
potion slurps, and bomb plants clearer than ever in SteelSeries Sonar. The entire
spectrum of audio is
yours to remaster for victory in every game.
Presets
Unlock quick audio wins
Ease into Parametric EQ with the click of a preset—each
carefully designed
by our sound engineers with input from pro players and game developers. Try one on
for a competitive
edge or a cinematic experience.
Audio Mixer
Part the sound streams
For the first time ever, SteelSeries Sonar lets you set
separate equalizer
effects for both game and chat on your MSI laptop, then send the mixed sound to your
speakers in
real-time.
Spatial Surround

Go beyond widening a stereo track. Connect pure 5.1 or 7.1
surround sound
audio tracks from your game to your headphones or MSI speakers for a more realistic
sound experience.
Chatmix
Bend the balance of sound
Adjust the balance between your game and chat sound. Hush
the gums of rage
quitting teammate or dial in to hear that clutch callout.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the SteelSeries GG is not preinstalled on my MSI PC, how should I get it?
SteelSeries GG is available for free
to download on any
Windows 8.1 or newer. Download free here. Installing GG will give you
access to all your
favorite SteelSeries apps like Sonar, Moments, and Engine—with more to
come in the future.
Can I download Engine and Sonar apps separately?
Engine and Sonar are only available as
apps in the
SteelSeries GG platform. Download GG free to access them, then only
enable the apps you want to
use to keep your setup as light as possible.
Will inactive apps in GG affect performance even if I don’t use them?
No. If you don’t want to use an app
such as Moments, you can
turn it off in the settings. When turned off it will not affect your
performance and will not
run in the background.
The same goes for SteelSeries Engine. If you don’t have a SteelSeries device plugged in, the Engine application inside GG will not be running in the background.
To turn Moments off you can do either of the following:
1. Click the dropdown menu above the Moments gallery and turn off “Gameplay capture”
2. Go to Settings -> Capture and Sound -> Turn off “Allow Moments to capture while gaming”
