About PX3 Presets
The PX3 transmitter incorporates a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to independently modify
the game and chat audio paths. The DSP settings are saved as presets inside the PX3
transmitter. These presets can be updated with new ones by using the PX3 Presets Manager
software.
The PX3 presets are identical to the PX5 presets, except that the PX3 presets do not modify
the mic path in the headset. The signal flow inside a preset is illustrated in the diagram
below, which shows the sound channels being modified by the DSP processor, then mixed
down to the sound that you hear in the headset. Unlike the PX5, users cannot edit the PX3
presets or modify the Preset Bundles.
The PX3 presets are grouped into bundles of 18 presets and the PX3 Preset Manager is used
to replace all 18 at once. Each Preset Bundle also includes the most recent firmware for the
transmitter to assure you’ll always be running the latest version.
PS3, XBOX and PC Modes
The headset operates in either PS3, XBOX or PC mode, selected by a slide switch on the
transmitter. Only XBOX and PS3 modes use presets. Each mode stores 9 presets,
comprised of one Main preset and 8 Alternate presets. The preset button on the headset
toggles through the 8 Alternate Presets. The main preset button on the headset toggles
between the Main preset and the selected Alternate preset.
The difference between PS3 and XBOX modes is in the settings of chat presets and chat
and mic signal routing. The chat presets have different filtering and noise gate thresholds for
PS3 and XBOX modes. All bundles include presets for both XBOX and PS3 already
tweaked for optimal performance.
