Use it to balance the game, chat and mic levels as described below. Chat This slider adjusts the amount of chat level you'll hear. Mic This slider adjusts the mic monitor level to determine how much of your voice will be heard in the headset. Turn it down if you don't want to hear your voice. Game This slider adjusts the game volume level. Master Volume Section The mixer output is routed to the master output, which is controlled by this section. Ear Guard™ Limiter The mixer is followed by a volume limiter, referred to as "Ear Guard". This slider lets you limit the level of the overall sound to help protect your ears from sudden boosts in volume. Pushing the slider all the way up will pass all of the sound, no matter how loud it is. Moving it down sets a ceiling above which the sound won't increase. To limit the sound of gun shots and blasts, turn this down to about 75% or less. Master Volume This slider controls the master volume and determines the overall loudness of the headset. We suggest setting this to about 80% of maximum. Presets Section This section is identical in Advanced and Basic modes. From here, you can transfer presets between your PC and the XP500 headset. The XP500 headset has two presets buttons; one that selects the Main preset and another that toggles through the 8 Alternate presets. These two buttons are represented on the software screen by the row of 8 preset buttons and one Main preset button. Above these buttons are fields for the four Preset types; Master, Mic, Chat and Game. The Master preset is the one that's uploaded to the headset and it's a combination of game, chat and mic presets listed right below it. Clicking the down arrow in any of the four Presets fields will activate a drop-down box that lists all of the presets on your PC hard drive. Page 10
