For example, a 10-band equalizer is available. In addition, noise reduction, a compressor and a noise gate can be added with a slider, while AI-assisted noise reduction can also be switched on if desired.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-277577 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"390\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--390x213.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"SteelSeries GG\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-277320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--390x213.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--780x426.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--220x120.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--1536x839.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--2048x1118.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine--1320x721.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-277320'>\n\t\t\t\tSonar erlaubt die Auswahl verschiedener Presets.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"390\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-390x212.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"SteelSeries GG\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-277321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-390x212.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-780x423.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-220x119.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-1536x833.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-2048x1111.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/engine-4-1320x716.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-277321'>\n\t\t\t\tInnerhalb der Software sind detaillierte Feineinstellungen m\u00f6glich.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The latter works quite well, but has a slight impact on the level of detail in the recordings. In my eyes, however, noise cancellation is only necessary in very loud environments anyway, as the Alias muffles ambient noise very well anyway.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"steelseries-alias-review-conclusion\"><\/span>SteelSeries Alias review: conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The SteelSeries Alias scores in the test with a chic design, excellent build quality and a very good sound. The RGB lighting is also more than just a nice visual detail and offers absolute added value, especially thanks to the gain display.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, the companion software is set up excellently thanks to Sonar, which allows for detailed adjustments. The sturdy and massive stand should also be emphasized, which holds the microphone in position without any problems.<\/p><div class=\"losgehts-inhalt losgehts-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"losgehts-2342607845\"><div class=\"losgehts-adlabel\">Anzeige<\/div><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"405718\" data-bid=\"1\">PGRpdiBpZD0ibG9zZ2VodHMtMTMzMzk3NjA0MyIgY2xhc3M9Imdhc19mYWxsYmFjay1hZF80MDU3MTgtLXBsYWNlbWVudF8zNDgzODMiPjxzY3JpcHQgYXN5bmMgc3JjPSIvL3BhZ2VhZDIuZ29vZ2xlc3luZGljYXRpb24uY29tL3BhZ2VhZC9qcy9hZHNieWdvb2dsZS5qcz9jbGllbnQ9Y2EtcHViLTgxNDg3Njg4MjM4MDczMzAiIGNyb3Nzb3JpZ2luPSJhbm9ueW1vdXMiPjwvc2NyaXB0PjxpbnMgY2xhc3M9ImFkc2J5Z29vZ2xlIiBzdHlsZT0iZGlzcGxheTpibG9jazsiIGRhdGEtYWQtY2xpZW50PSJjYS1wdWItODE0ODc2ODgyMzgwNzMzMCIgCmRhdGEtYWQtc2xvdD0iODY0MTc4NTI2NSIgCmRhdGEtYWQtZm9ybWF0PSJhdXRvIj48L2lucz4KPHNjcmlwdD4gCihhZHNieWdvb2dsZSA9IHdpbmRvdy5hZHNieWdvb2dsZSB8fCBbXSkucHVzaCh7fSk7IAo8L3NjcmlwdD4KPC9kaXY+<\/script><\/div>\n<p>The only real point of criticism in my eyes is the price, which is a bit too high to start with.
