Hello fellas!
Well I had been using my Astro A40s MixAmp for 3 years, very pleased with its performance. However always looking to improve, I found out a thread on Astro Forums from
TheZaliaSGuy an expert audiophile (studio audio engineer, I think) who develop a fantastic Equalizer presets for this device. I had using its presets for 8 months and are amazing.
Recently Astro Forums Closed and I know many XIMers we use MixAmp, and that thread was lost.
Fortunately he backed up everything to GoogleDrive. Try it. I suggest Tournament II, he updated recently (march) Tournament III for Apex legends.
UPDATE: Added Daredevil792 aka Saiyan Emperor Potara Official Presets made for specific headsets (Thanks to
isidrojose for the heads up!). Are definitely outstanding too, specially if you are other headsets than A40/A50 with MixAmp.
The ZaliaS Guy Professional Settings Presets:
Arcturus [22/MAR/19]All around gaming preset. Excellent for Music and Movies. Amazing for competitive stereo gaming (footsteps, ambient ques, character shouts, etc). Designed for Dolby OFF, but can still be used just fine with it (user preference). Why specifically designed for stereo? Because majority of sound design in games are created with their own sound mix, which is tuned specially for the supported sound sources (HI-Fi, Headphones, Stereo, etc). Because of this specific tuning developers use, some game audio quality can actually be reduced when paired with virtualized surround sound (i.e. Dolby, DTS, THX). This preset allows you to enjoy all of your audio content at the best quality possible, just as the developers intended!
PureAudio [11/MAY/18]Universal for music, movies and games for those that enjoy bass.
Incendiary [11/MAY/18]Similar to PureAudio, but more balanced all-around. Great for cinematic/non-competitive gaming.
Dystrilation [11/MAY/18]Focus on clear audio with little bass. Attention to detail in mids and highs, for audio enthusiasts. Designed for Dolby OFF
OmniVox [11/MAY/18]This is the your universal "sound-whore" or "footstep" preset.
Tournament I,
Tournament II,
Tournament III [22/MAR/19]Focus on precise sound space clarity in competitive games. Why two different sets? Because not every games' sound design is recorded and formatted in the same frequency range, so this gives you options to pick which preset better suits the game you are playing (i.e. R6 Siege vs PUBG, or BLOPS 4 vs Apex Legends). Support for a wide range of games. Designed for Dolby ON.

Having Mic issues?:
Recommendations:
-> Try Home or Night preset
-> No Side Tone
-> If Side Tone is needed (you can't your voice due closed headphones) no go further than 70%.
Tournament or Streaming noise gate preset will not pick-up your keystrokes noise but your mic will lose performance significantly.
