SETUP RECOMMENDATIONS

CONSOLES: For the best experience, the recommended setup method uses both HDMI and USB connectivity. The A50 X sits between your console and the TV/Display; one HDMI and one USB cable are needed to connect the A50 X Base Station to a Game Console. Then another HDMI cable is needed to connect the Base Station to your TV.

  • When using HDMI and USB cables, Audio and Voice Chat mix is adjustable using the Game/Voice Balancer controls on the headset, for both XBOX and PlayStation consoles. Make sure both HDMI and USB cables are plugged into the same group of ports for each platform. See section 3.7 for more details about A50 X HDMI capabilities.

For PC - The A50 X connects with a Windows machine using USB-Audio with multiple USB-Audio endpoints. This allows you to route media audio to a primary endpoint and voice chat apps to another endpoint, allowing you to balance the Game/Voice audio mix on–the-fly with headset controls. 

HOW TO USE

HEADSET CONTROLS

  1. Flip-to-Mute Microphone: The A50 X headset features an adjustable boom microphone. When flipped to the fully upright position, your mic signal is muted at the headset level. When flipping y, you will feel a mechanical engagement point.
  2. Game/Voice Balancing: When connected appropriately or used with supported sources, the A50 X is capable of dual audio signal playback and balancing between both. 
    This feature is known collectively as Game/Voice balancing. It lets you quickly adjust how much of the game or friend’s voice-chatter you want to hear, depending on your needs and preferences. This can be done using the Game/Voice balancer controls on the right ear of the headset. An audible notification tone will be played at Game Max, Mid, and Voice Max points.
  3. Headset Volume and Adjustment:
    The A50 X features an internal volume management and control scheme; the headset’s volume is independent and does not sync with the source system. Volume is adjusted intuitively using the control wheel. An audible notification tone will be played at volume max and volume zero points.
