Setting up the A40 Headset
While the ASTRO Gaming A40 Headset contains more features in a headset
than you may be used to, configuration is quite simple.
The iconic plates on the outside of your A40 Headset are fully removable
and user configurable – we like to call them SPEAKER TAGS. They are each
held on with eight very powerful neodymium magnets (don't worry – the
magnets do not affect audio quality!). The A40 Headset comes with one
solid Tag and one with a small hole in its middle.
WARNING: While ASTRO Gaming SPEAKER TAGS make great refrigerator
magnets, keep them away from small children and animals. The magnets are
VERY harmful if swallowed (and they taste really bad).
You'll find a receptacle for the A40's MICROPHONE BOOM on both sides of
the headset. Simply insert the boom into the jack and adjust the end of the
mic so it resides near to your mouth. The A40's microphone has excellent
noise-rejection properties – you'll find that swinging the mic up and away
from your mouth is a convenient way to self-mute when talking to someone
in the room if you are speaking at a normal volume. Otherwise, keep the
microphone close to your mouth for the best fidelity.
Important: For proper performance, make sure that the microphone is FULLY
SEATED in the headset receptacle. Press the MICROPHONE BOOM firmly
into the socket until you feel it snap into place.
Many devices have voice communication capabilities, but a boom mic isn't
necessary or welcome in every situation -- especially while traveling. There-
fore, we've built a stealthy inline microphone into our QD system. This way,
you'll have voice communication capability at all times. The inline micro-
phone is perfect for general voice duties, but we recommend using A40's
boom microphone for the highest fidelity sound.
There are two switches on the Quick Disconnect: a small switch on the side,
and a large switch on the face. The small A/B switch is the MIC SELECTOR
and selects the microphone you would like to use. Position A (or UP) selects
the boom microphone, while Position B (or DOWN) selects the inline micro-
phone. The large switch mutes both microphones. When the large switch
indicates RED, the mic is muted.
