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.

Logitech G A50 X Wireless Headset-SETUP RECOMMENDATIONS

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

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.
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.
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.

CHANGING INPUTS
If multiple systems are plugged in, A50 X allows you to switch between each system using the PLAYSYNC button, located on the headset, under the Power Switch.

When the headset is undocked, the power must be on for the PLAYSYNC button to function. Single-press the to cycle between systems. The Base Station’s Input LED Indicator will respond.
Both Audio and Video will switch; your TV/Display may go dark momentarily when switching.
When all three systems are active, pressing the PLAYSYNC button will switch inputs sequentially from XBOX to PC to PlayStation.
You can use the PLAYSYNC button when the headset is docked to the Base Station, no matter what state the Power Switch is toggled to.
- In some instances, switching inputs may wake systems that are in sleep mode. If this is undesired, please try toggling/disabling Sleep or HDMI-CEC features if available.
