How to set up EQ in iCUE software

What is an Equalizer?

An equalizer, or EQ, is an audio tool that allows you to adjust the volume level of specific frequencies within an audio source. It isolates certain sound frequencies so that you can either increase them or lower them based on your audio preference.

With CORSAIR iCUE being one of the most versatile gaming software utilities for customizing, synchronizing, and monitoring iCUE-enabled devices, it also has a built-in EQ feature that lets you customize your audio to your liking, whether it is for in-game sound or listening to music.

In this short guide, we will show you how to customize your equalizer in iCUE using the CORSAIR VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless SE Gaming Headset. However, the same steps are applicable to anything from the HS80, to the HS55.
