ABOUT THE MIXAMP 5.8
The MixAmp 5.8 is your own personal wireless audio mixer and headphone amplifier. Like our original MixAmp
, it‟s
been developed to enhance the audio experience of video games, music, movies and voice communications. With Dolby
Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Digital 7.1 decoding pumping out Dolby Headphone Surround Sound, the MixAmp 5.8 is a
wireless home theater in the palm of your hand.
Whether you‟re gaming or watching movies at home alone or with your friends, on a console or a PC, the MixAmp 5.8
has something to offer.
For
Xbox 360
and
Playstation 3
users, the MixAmp 5.8 wirelessly combines voice communication and game surround
sound. Connect the wireless transmitter, also known as the Tx, optically to your console and toggle Dolby Headphone
Surround Sound on or off. Pair the compact wireless MixAmp, the Rx, with the Tx. Connect an ASTRO (or other third
party) headset to the Rx and you can adjust the master volume, game-to-voice balance and the Bass Enhancer without
l
eaving your couch. Pair up to four Rx‟s with one Tx in case your friends stop by too!
For
Home Theater
setups, it‟s easy to get crystal-clear wireless sound for your favorite movies and TV shows. Simply
run a TOSlink optical connection from your TV, media playback device or stereo receiver to the Tx wireless transmitter.
Pair the Rx, connect an ASTRO (or other third party) headset or headphones, sit back and enjoy. You can adjust master
volume and the Bass Enhancer from the Rx and keep your neighbors off your back.
For
PC
and
Mac
gamers whose sound card has an optical output, the MixAmp 5.8 can be used to listen to your favorite
games, music, videos and movies. Same deal as above, connect via TOSlink, pair your Tx with your Rx, connect an
ASTRO headset or other headphone
and you‟re good to go.
