PURE The Pure mode has only minor audio
corrections that enable audio played through the
headset as flat and accurate as possible. Use this
mode if high-fidelity to the source material is
important or preferred.

SEISMIC The Seismic Bass Transducers inside of each
ear cup of the headset couple with the high energy

accurately and powerfully, without coloring important
mid-range information-critical for environmental
awareness in multiplayer games.
three times 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 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 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.
Activating combo chat mode
With the mixer powered off, but still connected to USB power on a compatible device, hold the
equalizer button down for 4-5 seconds. Both blue and orange LEDs illuminate, indicating that
Combo chat mode is now active.
Deactivating combo chat
With the mixer powered off, but still connected to USB power on a compatible device, hold the
equalizer button down for 4-5 seconds.
Only the orange LED will illuminate, indicating that Combo chat mode is inactive and back to
the default mode.
PRO TIP Combo chat is off as the default mode from the factory, and when the mixer is left
unplugged for an extended period of time also reverts it back to the default off mode. Remember,
default mode means game chat is muted when the Mic rocker switch is deployed to Mobile mode
(blue).
