Pc Setup - Plantronics RIG User Manual

PC setup

1 Make sure the boom microphone is attached properly to the headset. Insert the headset 3.5mm
plug into the headset jack on the front of the mixer located under the RIG logo tab, on the left
side.
2 Attached to the mixer is a set of cables that includes a long cord with a 3.5mm audio and USB
connectors. Plug the USB into an available port on your PC and the 3.5mm into the
headset/headphone speaker jack.
For proper function, make sure that the USB connector is plugged into the PC itself and not an
external USB power source
3 For best performance, assign "Plantronics RIG" as the PC microphone via USB. Game audio is
received via the 3.5mm input. Having these two connections provides discrete audio streams to
the mixer, enabling balance of voice-to-game sound on-the-fly with the game/chat sound
balancer without having to adjust software settings during a game.
PRO TIP
Dedicated VoIP software, such as Skype, Ventrilo, and Team Speak all enable discrete
assignment of microphone transmit/receive to the mixer USB device. However, some games that
provide in-game VoIP may not enable discreet assignment of voice/game audio. Adjustment will need
to be done using the in-game software.
4 Find a good balance of game and voice audio by adjusting the Game/chat sound balancer on the
right side of the mixer (over the orange LEDs). Remember that the 3 o'clock position will enable
equal volume of both game and voice audio signal. Sliding the control upward makes game
sound louder and voice (game chat) quieter. Sliding the control downward increases voice (game
chat) while making game audio quieter.
