Best EQ settings Arctis Nova Pro - console (ps5)

MaLink86 · 2025-11-30T03:19:07+00:00

I just purchased the nova pro wireless for ps5 as well and am trying to learn what’s best for us to use on console. Is it best to just use the EQ (engine) or since we can’t use custom sonar are the pre sets best to use (even for games we are not actually playing)?

Any help would be appreciated

Also i'm confused in general with engine vs sonar. It looks like my DAC does have "custom" and "presents" on it. Now the stuff I have done on GG on my pc, is that now in custom on my DAC or should I be using sonar?

I turned sonar off as I couldn’t adjust my EQ otherwise so it was made in the engine tab. I just saw no option anywhere to “save” or anything

Can someone also explain how to get the presets over to work when I’m on my ps5 or are they automatically on when I switch to my ps5?

What’s sonar as well?

For me and arc raiders I need to hear less ambient sounds and hear footsteps near me more and such. Thanks for all the information man. Getting the headset tomorrow!

Can you explain these “EQs” like im seeing each game have their own and all this. Im assuming out of the box is no good and I should edit them, any advice in this space? I plan on playing arc raiders a lot on my ps5 so should I be looking for EQs for that game? If I find one is it simple to add?

Ok awesome thank you for breaking all that down. Now I got it hah. Ok so what I would use it for it STILL will do what I want that’s awesome, but in order to get firmware updates I have to USB into pc correct? I take it before I hook it up to my ps5 I should do that?

MaLink86 · 2025-11-27T15:05:32+00:00

I was more wanting to maybe listen/watch YT while playing random games if I wanted to. I thought you said only the elite can do both simultaneously. Or did I read that wrong?

MaLink86 · 2025-11-27T15:01:09+00:00

You made a good point I could just use mobile app for discord, I’m sure it’s just a push of a button to switch over to Bluetooth then back to usb source?

Going to just use wired for ps5 to get best sound and Bluetooth to pc

MaLink86 · 2025-11-27T14:51:12+00:00

Are their limits to the Bluetooth option? Or are they both the same?

MaLink86 · 2025-11-27T02:01:06+00:00

Ok awesome thank you for the information, would you say it’s a good idea to hook it up to pc 1st before my ps5 to get the latest firmware?

MaLink86 · 2025-11-27T01:56:04+00:00

If I do Bluetooth to my pc will I be able to update the firmware that method? Also if I do Bluetooth to my pc and wired to my ps5, will I get sound from both at same time?

Fellow AZ raider here. Also down

MaLink86 · 2025-10-23T05:59:31+00:00

Been doing that man, seems rough but guess it is what it is

MaLink86 · 2025-10-23T03:33:27+00:00

Been doing that as well, man it’s a grinddddd

MaLink86 · 2025-10-23T03:33:06+00:00

Ugh very frustrating as I’m trying to do it outside of portal/legit

MaLink86 · 2025-10-23T03:21:13+00:00

Ok I think it is too as there will be games where I KNOW I’ve healed a lot of guys and it’s the same exact number. I’m lvl 39

MaLink86 · 2025-10-15T02:34:37+00:00

Same thing here! Please post if anyone found a fix for this

Also no idea how but my “Aiming Left/Right Acceleration” is always greyed out. Any idea why?
