Master volume control The [MASTER VOLUME] dial controls the sum volume level of all audio devices connected to the RIG mixer. Turn the [MASTER VOLUME] dial to the right to increase volume and to the left to decrease volume. [MIC ROCKER] switch CAUTION Do not use headsets at high volumes for an extended period of time. Doing so can cause hearing loss. Always listen at moderate levels. See for more information on headsets and hearing. In the center of the RIG Mixer, the large, glossy paddle controls many elements of the audio experience. Not only does the [MIC ROCKER] switch control which device your microphone transmits (Tx) to-like the connected console or mobile device-it also shapes what you hear. For example, when the [MIC ROCKER] switch is deployed to the Game Mode (glows orange), the [GAME/CHAT SOUND] balancer on the right side becomes active, and controls the balance between game sound and game chat. Additionally, the microphone is only active to the game chat (ex. Xbox LIVE, Skype, etc.), and muted to connected mobile devices. However, mobile audio (Rx) can be heard, and the level controlled by the [GAME/MOBILE SOUND] balancer. When the [MIC ROCKER] switch is deployed to Mobile Mode (glows blue), the [GAME/MOBILE SOUND] balancer on the left side is active, and controls the balance between mobile sound and game sound. The microphone is now only active to connected mobile devices, and transmission is MUTED to game chat (Xbox LIVE, Skype, etc.). In the default configuration, the RIG Mixer also mutes incoming (Rx) game chat. In summary, the [MIC ROCKER] switch performs a macro function, or in other words, does several things at once. For example, switching the [MIC ROCKER] switch from Game Mode (orange) to Mobile Mode (blue) causes the following to occur: • Microphone transmission (Tx) to mobile connected device is unmuted • Microphone transmission (Tx) to Game chat (Xbox LIVE, Skype, etc) is muted • Incoming Game chat (Rx) is muted (default mode) • [GAME/CHAT SOUND] balancer now actively controls the Game Sound volume. This enables a lower setting of game sound, if desired, when taking a phone call. PRO TIP Switching the [MIC ROCKER] switch from Mobile Mode (blue) to Game Mode (orange) reverses all four of the above to their previous states. 16
