Creating The Perfect Lightsaber Sounds of Battle

You might talk a big game, but does your saber?

Our Obsidian Soundboards were made to give your lightsaber the loudest and most true to life sounds available anywhere and really bring your saber to life.  So it is important to make sure that you equip it with a soundfont that is going to rally your allies and crumble the hopes of your enemies.

The Obsidian v3 and v4 Soundboards have set the industry standard for custom lightsaber sounds, and through the assistance of our Obsidian launcher, you can fine tune the sound profile of your saber perfectly with hundreds of options here.

But how do you create the perfect lightsaber sounds of battle?  How will you choose your soundfont?

Sith Lightsaber Sound

As we all know, there is a considerable difference in the construction of a Sith’s Lightsaber VS that of the Jedi Knights. The Sith were the first to wield the plasma blade, and synthesize the crystals used in its chamber. Because of their loyalty to tradition, the Sith have continued to synthesize their crystals, often making them much more unstable than the refined blades of the Jedi. The energy of the blade crackles giving the idle hum a more menacing and electric sound.

Because of the instability of the crystal and its energy, the hum and swinging sounds of the Sith’s lightsabers tended to be a deeper, almost darker sound, making it the perfect dark soundfont. The saber to saber clashes almost resembled the sound of a downed power line or sparking wires, and added a truly terrifying element to the battle when paired to a Sith’s clawed emitter and traditional crimson blade.
