Equalizer The [EQUALIZER] button toggles through three EQ modes. Press the [EQUALIZER] button to toggle through the different modes. Combo chat If you press the EQ button once twice three times you'll hear and this will happen 1 tone PURE The Pure mode has only minor audio corrections that enable audio played through the RIG Headset as flat and accurate as possible. Use this mode if high-fidelity to the source material is important or preferred. 2 tones SEISMIC The Seismic Bass Transducers inside of each ear cup of the RIG Headset couple with the high energy Seismic EQ mode to elevate low octave audio accurately and powerfully, without coloring important mid-range information-critical for environmental awareness in multiplayer games. 3 tones INTENSIFY The Intensify mid-range audio boost mode makes mid-range audio sounds much easier to hear. Mid-range audio cues include footsteps, gunshots, and other sounds that give directional information - critical for winning multiplayer matches where audio cues give an extra advantage. While muting incoming game chat when in Mobile Mode seems like desired functionality for most gamers, the RIG Mixer can be 'unlocked' to provide game chat to be heard globally-or in other words, game chat can still be heard when the [MIC ROCKER] switch is set to the Mobile Mode (blue). This feature, called Combo Chat, enables all three audio streams (game sound, game chat, and mobile audio) to be managed and heard at all times. The [MIC ROCKER] switch merely activates which device the microphone is actively transmitting to. Conversely, if the [MIC ROCKER] switch is deployed to the Game Mode (orange), for example, microphone transmission is still muted to a connected mobile device, as it is in the default mode. PRO TIP While hearing game chat while on a phone call may not seem like an advantageous way to game for some, this feature may uncover additional use cases. Imagine playing a multiplayer game with a large amount of players on the same team, while the critical or desired communication happens within a smaller subset of players (like a squad, or group of friends). With the RIG Mixer, the in-game communication (game chat) can be used for 'whole team' chat, and a secondary channel (mobile chat) can be set up on a smartphone or tablet to take advantage of having a private 'side chat' channel for a smaller group of players. 19
