Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Arctis Nova 1 work with any soundcard/motherboard?
Yes, the main cable is a 4-pole 3.5mm, but it also includes a dual 3.5mm 'Y' extension cable, making it universally compatible with all PCs.
Does the microphone still work when it's retracted?
The microphone will still pickup sound while retracted, but since it's a directional mic, it needs to be extended and in close proximity to your mouth to produce the best quality of sound.
Does the Arctis Nova 3 have better sound than the 1?
Both the Arctis Nova 1 and 3 have the same fully custom speaker drivers, tuned for high detail and clarity of sound.
