Nahimic Smart Profile

Hear Crisp and Clear Dialogue

Nahimic uses a Voice boost feature to target and enhance spoken dialogue. Whether it’s a movie or the voice of your teammates during intense battles, Nahimic works in the background to improve the quality of dialogue to make sure you hear every word.

Deep Bass

Do you want to enjoy a deep, low-frequency sound that punches you in the gut like explosions, engines, or beats? Using Nahimic Bass boost enhances the low frequencies, ensuring your audio gives you the feeling of being in the fight or the audience.

Be Clairvoyant

Sometimes, hearing a specific sound can make a difference in a game. Feel like you can see the future thanks to the Treble boost feature, which attunes to the detailed sounds of a game. By enhancing the high frequencies, listen to quiet footsteps, whistles, or other sound cues, which could make that split-second difference to win in an FPS.

Stabilize the Sharp Volume Changes

If you hate it when audio suddenly shifts as you move from dialogue to loud explosions, we have you covered. Our volume stabilizer maintains constant audio even when the game setting changes, minimizing the impact of sharp volume changes that kill your focus, keeping you ready for action.
