The Hecate G1500 Bar is one of Edifier's recent launches in Brazil. We chose a nova sound bar that complements G1500 line of gaming audio deviceswhich also contains other portable crates.
We offer you a unit of the product here, so that people contact you with what they offer in detail. Will the experience be satisfactory? What is the sound quality of this device and which ones have any differences? We will know this analysis.
Design and construction
The G1500 bar has a trapezoidal format which is very compact. Edifier finds versions of the product in Brazil with preta and pink hearts, and here we have a unit of the second tone.
It has a maximum length of 41 cm and a thickness of approximately 6.5 cm, with the same height dimension. On the other hand, the total weight does not reach 570 grams, or the level of the tornado or bastante is precise to take on a trip or to carry for another atmosphere.
In front you can have the buttons to increase or decrease the volume; um que serve para ligar e desligar, ou trocar o tipo de entrada; e um para mudar o modo de som. They are centralized at the upper part. I now have an LED customization faceplate that goes from deck to deck, an important point for the public player. No, it's a fica wave that protects the violas.
Part of cima, we thought of the brand logo. Then there is an attachment for the USB 1.3 cable on the connectors for the external telephone and for the detachable 30 cm microphone, which is also included in the product packaging, like the user manual.
Connection and application
An Edifier gaming soundbar can be connected to the device in two ways. One of them is from the USB-A port, which has a dual function, and also to the power source of the accessory. Aside from Bluetooth 5.3, you might be looking at a device that doesn't have support for an external audio device over USB.
The problem is that even when connecting wirelessly, the G1500 bar requires you to have a USB string or cable into another power source. This equipment does not have an internal battery. Apart from discussions, it must be completely portable and is not exempt from full use of fio.
How to operate the soundbar as a chamada plug in and usea manufacturer that also offers Hecate Gaming Center software for computers, which allows you to identify the model and make certain customizations.
We tried connecting the G1500 Bar to a laptop, via cable or Bluetooth, and to a TV wirelessly, but it was unable to use the Xbox. If you use the console's USB port to power the crate, it is not recognized as an audio device for a video game.
You can alternate the core of the exposure without LEDs, or configure the type of transition between tones. Also to evaluate the volume percentage as long as it is indicated in the microphone.
Here we are thinking about some more advanced options, like an equalizer to customize the bass, mids and tips according to your preferences, or you can also experience a personalized audio profile. It seems that the software interface is not fully translated.
Quality of some microphones
The Hecate G1500 bar is equipped with two speakers and two passive radiators for the bass, with their sound. It also promises to integrate an integrated virtual 7.1 system, via software, and a DSP card chip.
In practice, a combination has been designed for an immersive experience among players. A simulation of a 7.1 channel system works well, and you can get a better note on the other side of the opponent's passes in the game, or feel the audio from the other side's direction in the way effective. This will be relevant during a jogging session.
A soundbar has a power of 5 W RMS, made up of 2.5 W on each side. A power which may seem low, but in practice presents a satisfactory maximum volume which does not generate distortion. The frequency response will be 120 Hz to 20 kHz.
In general, we are a balanced and clean bastante. When you select Jogo mode between pre-selected performances, you will hear the audio higher and lower. The tombs are in the middle, while the medios are shown and the Agudos are not shrills.
But I don't want to play with this soundbar, do I? You will now have other pre-selected performances to use in other situations, within your games. The mode of filming is graded and voiced with voice clarity. Essential for hearing the dialogue of a long series or a series that assists you.
Therefore, the apparent Modo Música will be the most fraco of the trio. Although disappointing, in songs with a predominance of lower frequencies you can feel more crowded bass. This is mainly where you will feel the lack of a dedicated EQ.
We mentioned before, that the G1500 bar replaces a detachable microphone, which can be plugged into the equipment's grommet. It is mainly used by players who want to facilitate the transmission of their games, as necessary for ouvido phones, or for video conferences.
And what is the quality of it? If you're within inches of him, catching someone is clean and powerful. Comply with this, your voice shifts to a bit of metal. But that's an explanation for it.
To avoid generating audio feedback, Edifier applies ambient noise suppression aggressively. In practice, the rooms are made as if they were closed upon entry. A positive and very effective point for the soundbar. So your voice should soften the effect from a middle distance to the mic.

Final Considerations
The Hecate G1500 bar is a compact and high soundbar, which guarantees our decks to the public gamer. We have the presence of customizable RGB LEDs, Jogo mode for audio immersion and microphone to facilitate interactions during games.
The device also has a compact design and high level, easy to carry for another place. It is flexible for connecting to another device, via USB cable or via Bluetooth.
The quality of a thing in general, with decent power and a good balance of frequencies, makes the bass become a little lowered by ideal. Separating the sound performance by modes is more satisfying, but it is possible to have other customization as an option.
The microphone's ambient flux cancellation is another feature that works effectively and allows use during voice or video broadcasts, without it interfering with high-level audio capture.
Since these are mainly negative points, we rely on the use of a built-in battery. It is mandatory for the user to always have a plug versus USB input power generation capacity for this soundbar. Or lose the ability of this model to be portable.
The list also includes the quality of the microphone, which can be good quality; This software is limited to product management. However, the latter case may also be corrected in future updates of the official program.
Built-in batteryLimited softwareMicrophone quality could be betterEdifier has launched a Hecate G1500 Bar in Brazil for a suggested price of R$ 349. A value that offers a customer-benefit to the consumer who wants a gaming product of satisfactory quality for their computer or bag.
One of the main rivals of this unreleased model is the Lenovo Soundbar TS33-B. It also offers a compact design and a front with lower quality LEDs, but in practice it has great sound power. The difference is the presence of the auxiliary audio input, to play music or connect to other devices with a cable on the P2 pad.
Are you going to the Hecate G1500 bar? What are the recourses so that you can do this? Is the accreditation experience satisfactory? Not everything for people is in space.
