Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Warzone EQ (Tuned Preset)

The BlackShark V2 Pro is an esports staple, but Synapse loves to layer its own EQ and THX spatial on top of everything. This guide uses the BlackShark V2 Pro tuned Warzone preset in DoveSonicEQ: the proven mix corrected for this headset, with Synapse flattened so direction stays sharp.

1) Flatten Synapse first (EQ and THX)

Two layers in Synapse fight tuned presets: its EQ curve stacked on top of yours, and THX Spatial re-processing direction Warzone already handles.

  • Set the Synapse equalizer flat. DoveSonicEQ does the tuning from here.
  • Turn THX Spatial off for competitive play. One clean stereo chain beats doubled spatial processing for footstep direction.
  • One EQ in the chain. If two apps shape sound, the tuned correction cannot land clean.

2) Load the tuned Warzone preset

In DoveSonicEQ, open Headphone-Tuned Game EQs, pick Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, and choose the Warzone mix:

  • V1: stronger footstep presence with a fuller sound.
  • V2: less bassy, more focus on clarity and positioning.

Flip between the tuned preset and Bypass right away. Explosions should lean out while movement detail steps forward.

3) Only have Synapse sliders? Convert the preset

If you ever need the tuning inside Synapse's fixed sliders instead of DoveSonicEQ, download the preset text from EQ Presets, paste it into the EQ converter, and get 10-band slider values. Fixed sliders are approximate, but they beat guessing.

4) Lift steps, save, done

  • Set Improved Loudness Equalization near 48-50% with Peak Control on; add Volume Lock only if spikes still bother you.
  • If your own shots bury steps, add Lower Own Gunfire near 50% strength. Guide: lower your own gunfire volume.
  • Bypass compare, then save it as one preset per game.

FAQ

V1 or V2 on the BlackShark V2 Pro?

V1 for maximum presence, V2 when the mix feels too full. Bypass-compare both and keep the winner.

THX on or off for footsteps?

Off for competitive play. THX re-processes direction on top of the game mix; a flat stereo chain plus the tuned preset reads cleaner.
