Beyond Obsidian

Every day, thousands of Obsidian Soundboards announce the start of lightsaber duels all over the world. The loud hums and clashes echo through households, across parks, within dojos, and other environments where saber blades collide. There’s just no mistaking the distinctive lightsaber sound effects of the Obsidian Soundboard.

The Obsidian Soundboard

It was called the pinnacle of lightsaber technology at one point in its life, and while newer innovations like the Emerald Driver may boast more advanced capabilities, the Obsidian Soundboard still reigns as one of the most coveted additions to any custom saber. Every Obsidian Soundboard comes standard with the UltraSabers Obsidian SoundFont, but the v3 & v4 Soundboards can be updated with the use of the UltraSabers Obsidian Launcher (notice a pattern here?). But, you may ask, updated to what? We’re so glad you asked. You have a lot of options to choose from.
