ZywOo Stage Setup

ZywOo’s multi-trophy winning audio setup for Counter-Strike 2.

The ZywOo Stage Setup combines STAGE-01 IEMs and the BLACKBOX-01 Sound Card for the full AceZone x ZywOo audio experience.

A hybrid-driver configuration and AceZone tournament-grade factory tuning from STAGE-01 meet ultra low-latency audio processing, Blast Guard and precise EQ controls in BLACKBOX-01.
Developed with expertise from Counter-Strike legends Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut & Peter “Dupreeh” Rasmussen, the pairing brings critical in-game cues into focus and gives you total freedom over your IEM audio setup.

Start with ZywOo’s signature EQ on BLACKBOX-01, explore game profiles, or build your own sound through the AceZone App. Save your config to the onboard memory and take the complete setup anywhere: home, bootcamp or the tournament stage.

Notice: Included in this bundle is BLACKBOX-01: a limited-edition, handmade product limited to 1000 units. Each card comes with it's own unique number identifier, printed on the top of the card.

ULTIMATE ZywOo SETUP

For four years, Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut has competed with unreleased AceZone IEMs, collecting well over 20 MVP awards and trophies along the way. His early testing and direct feedback helped shape the sound of STAGE-01. We also consulted five-time Major winner Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen during early development.

PRECISE POSITIONAL AUDIO

STAGE-01 pairs a custom 10 mm LCP dynamic driver with a balanced armature for mid-to-high frequency detail. Combined with AceZone’s signature esports tuning, the hybrid configuration brings footsteps, reloads and positional cues into focus.

The factory tuning keeps bass controlled to highlight the information you rely on in competitive FPS games. BLACKBOX-01 completes the pairing with dedicated, quality digital-to-analogue conversion and onboard digital signal processing, unlocking full IEM customization and potential.

CONTROL THE
Blast Guard lets you

CONTROL THE CUES

Gunshots and explosions in CS2 can bury the quieter cues that tell you what happens next.

Blast Guard uses selective compression to give you control over loud effects and the subtle information underneath them, so you can hear everything in-game.

  • “Lower the Loud” reduces gunshots and explosions while leaving footsteps and other subtle cues untouched, decreasing brain fatigue over long sessions. 
  • “Footstep Enhancer” raises footsteps and subtle cues without changing the intensity of gunshots and explosions - if you never want to miss a sound cue again.

Exclusive to BLACKBOX-01 that lets you enable Blast Guard through the AceZone App.
