At a Glance

Compact Design, Easy Controls

Set aside the big mixer with dozens of knobs – now there’s a smaller and easier way to manage your gaming audio experience. The compact footprint of the ZG01 fits neatly into your command center, offering just the right selection of tactile controls you need for real-time mixing and effects – with deeper, less frequently accessed settings available in the ZG software.

Killer Effects, at Your Fingertips

Customize your mic/voice and game sound settings in the ZG software, then recall them instantly from the ZG01 mixer preset buttons. Mic/voice settings include compression, limiter, reverb, pitch, radio voice and more – plus press-and-hold buttons for echo and censor beep sounds. Game sound options include 3D Surround Sound, Focus Modes and 3D Chat Space.

Stunning Sonic Realism

Engage 3D Surround Sound to immerse yourself in an ultra-realistic soundscape using any normal stereo gaming headset. The ZG01 mixer accepts multi-channel surround sound audio from the USB/HDMI input and virtualizes it using Yamaha proprietary ViReal™ technology.

Hear Them Coming

Focus Modes allow you to customize your soundscape to suit a variety of game titles, scenes and playing styles, such as suppressing the sound of your own character's voice or emphasizing the game's environmental sounds. Hear your opponent’s footsteps… before it's too late.

Clear Up The Chat Chaos

With 3D Game Chat Space, your buddies' voices get placed where you want them in a virtual space that avoids overlap with the game sound. You'll feel as if you're in the same room with them – there might still be a lot of trash talk, but at least you'll hear it clearly.

Share It All

Down to stream? Your multi-channel game audio is converted and processed by the ZG01 to reproduce a surround sound experience that can be streamed to your entire audience. Even if your fans only have normal stereo headphones, they can still experience the immersive sonic realism.

Insanely Cool Multi-Channel USB

The ZG01 connects to your PC with a special USB interface that offers phenomenal versatility. Just install the free USB driver from our website and the mixer will be recognized as two virtual devices that can send and receive two audio channels for different purposes. Like Discord and OBS/Streamlabs at the same time? Yep.

Input to PC:

Streaming: This channel is for sending the game and voice chat audio input from the ZG01 to your computer. Assign this channel to the audio input of the streaming application on your computer.

Voice: This channel is for sending your voice input from your mic or headset to your computer. Assign this channel to the audio input of the voice chat application running on your computer.

Output from PC

Speakers: This channel is for sending audio from your computer to the ZG. If you are playing PC games, assign this channel as the audio output. The game knob on the ZG01 can be used as a game volume controller.

Voice: This is the channel for voice chat. If you are using a voice chat application running on your computer, assign this channel to the audio output of it. The voice chat knob on the ZG01 can be used as a voice chat volume controller.

More Ways to Play

While the ZG01 is especially well-suited for interfacing with a PC via USB, it also has some great extras in the connectivity department. On the back panel: a built-in 2-in/1-out HDMI switcher lets you tap audio from a gaming console (or two), a combo XLR/TRS jack lets you connect a dedicated mic, and a stereo mini analog out lets you hook up your favorite powered speakers or sound bar. On the front panel: a smartphone aux jack (mini TRRS) lets you run voice chat from your phone rather than your PC if desired. HDMI audio out is 2-ch 24-bit/48 kHz fixed (HDMI video is pass-through only up to 4K/60; the ZG01 does not have a video capture function).

Powerful & Easy-To-Use Software

This is where the magic happens. A free download from our site, the ZG Controller software (Windows/Mac) is the ultimate companion for the ZG01, providing access to all the deep setting and customization features that truly bring the mixer to life. Easy to learn, yet rich with powerful capabilities, the ZG Controller software lets you create your own ultimate game audio experience.
