Dolby® Digital Processing

The XP400 uses Dolby Digital 5.1 surround processing technology – the industry-standard format for encoding multi-channel game audio. Dolby Digital processing recreates 5.1 channel surround sound using the XP400 headset so you can hear the sound all around you, as if you were listening to a 5.1 speaker system.
