Connect Voice Communication
Xbox Live
You can easily mix in voice communication from Xbox Live and balance it with your game audio. For Xbox 360 users,
connect the 2.5mm-to-2.5mm cable to the bottom of the 360 controller. Then connect the other end of the 2.5mm cable to
the CONTROLLER port on the bottom of the MixAmp 5.8 Rx. Ensure that the Xbox 360 Voice Preferences are set to
“Play Through Headset”. This can be checked by hitting the Guide button on your Xbox 360 controller, navigate to
Settings > Preferences > Voice.
PlayStation Network
Mixing in voice communication on PlayStation 3 is also possible, but requires an ASTRO USB Chat cable (sold
separately). Connect the 3.5mm jack to the jack on the rear of the MixAmp 5.8 Tx labeled Aux In and connect the USB
port to the USB input of the front of your Playstation 3.
In the Playstation 3 Cross Media Bar (XMB), navigate to Settings > Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings, and
make sure that the „ASTRO Chat‟ is recognized and selected for both the microphone input and output.
You‟ll also be able to set your voice level in this menu screen. Set the level so that the bar graph on the top just hits the
red when you speak
loudly. You can hear how you‟ll sound to others if you go back to the Accessory Settings menu and
enter the Voice Changer.
Once you are connected, incoming voice from the PS3 can now be balanced with game audio by using the
BALANCE control on the MixAmp.
