Be safe

Designed to connect and mix audio from your mobile device with a game

console or PC, the mixer shines when integrated with a mobile device. This

next section enables you to get the most out of everything RIG can do for

your game.

Installing a microphone and switching cables is fast and easy. Two microphones are included: a

boom microphone/cable for the best gaming audio experience and a low profile in-line

microphone/cable to use with mobile devices.

1Insert the connector of the desired microphone cable into the port located on the bottom left

ear cup of the headset.

PRO TIP For proper performance, make sure that the microphone is fully seated in the left ear cup.

Press the microphone boom firmly into the port until you feel it lock into place.

2If you are using the boom/microphone cable, adjust it so the boom microphone is near your

mouth for the best fidelity.

PRO TIP The Master mute button will also glow red when the headset jack is disconnected or

improperly connected to the mixer. Be certain that the headset jack is fully inserted into the mixer. As

the headset connects properly to the mixer, the red light on the master mute button will

automatically shut off.

Headset basics

Installing a microphone

Use the stealth inline microphone for the occasions when connecting directly to a mobile

device. The controls are easy to use and perfect for mobile calls, gaming and music on-the-go.

Use the boom microphone for gaming sessions.

1. Call button

2. Mute button

1Make a call To make a call, dial the number on your mobile device.

2Answer a call To answer a call, press the call control button.

3End a call To end a call, press the call button again.

4Adjust volume To adjust volume, adjust it on your mobile device.

5Mute To mute the call, switch the mute button up towards the headset. To unmute, move it back

down.

PRO TIP If the inline cable is plugged into the mixer, the Call button on the inline microphone will be

disabled and will not perform any call control functions.

Using the inline

microphone

1Make sure the boom microphone is attached properly to the headset. Insert the headset 3.5mm

plug into the headset jack on the front of the mixer located under the RIG logo tab, on the left

side.

2Attached to the mixer is a set of cables that includes a long cord with a 3.5mm audio and USB

connectors. Plug the USB into an available port on your PC and the 3.5mm into the

headset/headphone speaker jack.

For proper function, make sure that the USB connector is plugged into the PC itself and not an

external USB power source

3For best performance, assign "Plantronics RIG" as the PC microphone via USB. Game audio is

received via the 3.5mm input. Having these two connections provides discrete audio streams to

the mixer, enabling balance of voice-to-game sound on-the-fly with the game/chat sound

balancer without having to adjust software settings during a game.

PRO TIP Dedicated VoIP software, such as Skype, Ventrilo, and Team Speak all enable discrete

assignment of microphone transmit/receive to the mixer USB device. However, some games that

provide in-game VoIP may not enable discreet assignment of voice/game audio. Adjustment will need

to be done using the in-game software.

4Find a good balance of game and voice audio by adjusting the Game/chat sound balancer on the

right side of the mixer (over the orange LEDs). Remember that the 3 o'clock position will enable

equal volume of both game and voice audio signal. Sliding the control upward makes game

sound louder and voice (game chat) quieter. Sliding the control downward increases voice (game

chat) while making game audio quieter.

PC setup

How you connect your Xbox 360's audio/video to your TV will generally be

the most important factor in how audio is connected to the mixer.

Use this setup if your TV or primary audio device has an optical port, and you have an optical

cable (not included in package, sold separately by other manufacturers). An optical cable is an

optional connection method that offers the highest performance audio possible with the mixer.

HDMI

1Attach a Toslink digital optical cable to the appropriate port on your Xbox 360 (Xbox 360 Slim

models or to the Microsoft AV Adapter with included optical audio port), HDTV, A/V Receiver, or

other audio device.

2Plug the opposite end of the optical cable into the optical port on the rear of the mixer.

On your Xbox, go to Settings > System > Console Settings > Audio. Then select Digital Output >

Digital Stereo.

3Make sure the boom microphone is attached properly to the headset. Insert the 3.5mm plug

into the headset jack on the front of the mixer located under the RIG logo tab, on the left side.

4Insert the included Xbox Live chat cable into the 2.5mm jack (smaller of the two) located to the

right of the headset jack on front of the mixer. Insert the other end into your Xbox game

controller. For best performance, use the connector with the 90 degree angled plug attached to

the Xbox 360 controller and the straight plug connected to the mixer.

5Find a good balance of game and voice audio by adjusting the Game/chat sound balancer on the

right side of the mixer (over the orange LEDs). Remember that the 3 o'clock position will enable

equal volume of both game and voice audio signal. Sliding the control upward makes game

sound louder and voice (game chat) quieter. Sliding the control downward increases voice (game

chat) while making game audio quieter.
