The Razer Maelstrom is a highly upgraded virtual surround sound system found in the Razer Megalodon, Razer’s latest 7.1 surround sound gaming headset. The Razer Megalodon is powered by the Razer Maelstrom Audio Engine, which has the ability to process audio algorithms up to 800% faster than traditional HRTF virtual surround sound technologies. The Razer Megalodon is thus able to offer a convincing and realistic positional sound stage. Gamers looking for an in-game advantage will be able to listen to the positional cues

emitted by the Razer Megalodon and build out incoming threats before the threat can actually be seen onscreen. Coupled with an amplified microphone with adjustable sensitivity and leveling, the Razer Megalodon is a complete audio communications package.

The Razer Maelstrom Audio Engine originated as a military grade audio technology developed for fighter pilots who needed precise audio warnings for incoming missiles. The Razer Megalodon is based on that same platform, but developed specifically for gaming.
