Software Tutorial; Listening To The Factory Presets - Turtle Beach Ear Force XP500 User Manual

Software Tutorial

This section provides an overview of how to use the Presets tab on the XP500 Advanced
Sound Editor software.
Note that if the battery voltage (shown in the bottom left) drops down too low, the software
won't transfer files to and from the headset. This is to prevent a file error caused by the
battery failing during a file transfer.
The Headset Mode indicator, next to the battery voltage, indicates whether the headset is in
XBOX or PS3 mode.

Listening to the Factory Presets

1. Connect the XP500 transmitter to your XBOX or PS3 so you can hear sound on the
headset. Or, connect it to your PC if it has a digital optical output.
2. Run the XP500 Advanced Sound Editor and connect the XP500 to your PC using the
USB cable included in the XP500 package.
3. After the bottom left of the screen indicates "XP500 Headset is attached", the XP500
Advanced Sound Editor will download the presets from the headset to the PC hard
drive.
4. After the presets have been transferred from the headset to the PC, play some music or
a game so you can hear it in the headset. While you're listening, press the Main and
Presets 1 – 8 buttons so you can hear their effect on the sound. The preset names will
be displayed in the Presets section of the software as you click the presets buttons. This
is the same as selecting presets using the buttons on the headset.
5. Try changing the Master preset by clicking on the small arrow to the right of the name
and selecting one of the names from the drop down box. The Master Preset is made up
of the three sub-presets below (Mic, Chat and Game). Each time you change the Master
preset, the sub-presets also change.
