Step 1 of 3
This step introduces the calibration process. Read the instructions carefully and ensure that you are in
a quiet environment in order to hear the audio prompts properly.
In this figure, the mannequin represents your position. The green arrows on each segment represent
the target direction of the audio playback for that particular segment. Each orange line represents the
last saved calibration settings configured on Razer Surround.
Click Calibrate Now once you are ready to begin the calibration.

Step 2 of 3
Position yourself according to the point of reference indicated by the mannequin. The calibration
process is divided into a series of segments. An audio prompt will be played for each segment.
For the first segment, the sound should be perceived as coming from the direction marked by the
green target arrow, roughly North-East of your point of reference. Your aim is to move the sound you
hear such that you perceive it to be coming from this target direction. To achieve this,
1. Listen carefully to the audio prompt
2. The sound you hear will change direction as you move the mouse scroll wheel or the up/down
arrow keys.
3. Continue changing the direction of the sound until you perceive it to come from the North-
East position or as close to the green target arrow as possible.
Note: The orange line indicates the relative change to the previously saved alignment setting. It does
not affect your current calibration, as it serves merely as a change indicator.

segment as the target direction and continue until you complete the circle.
Once all segments are calibrated, click Next to go to the next step.
