Signature Turtle Beach Features
Dynamic Chat Boost
Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the STEALTH 520 headset that automatically increases chat
volume during loud moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates or other players, regardless of
the game volume.
Typically, if you turn up a headset’s game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become
difculttohearoverthegamesound.However,withChatBoost,asthegameaudioincreases,thechatvolume
also increases. When the game volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to your
original volume setting.

WITHOUT Chat Boost,
chat volume is overwhelmed by loud game audio
WITH Chat Boost,
chat volume increases along with game volume
NOTE: If the chat volume on the headset is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the
voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the chat volume on the headset.
