Ear Force AK-R8
Headphones
The headphones include 4 speakers in each ear cup (front, surround, center, sub) to
deliver true 5.1 surround sound. A multi-pin connector plugs directly into the Audio
Advantage SRM USB sound card.
Microphone The headphone mic inserts into the small jack on the left ear cup and can be rotated
into any position. You can remove the microphone so it won’t get in your way when it
isn’t being used for talkback during game play.
Note: When the microphone is inserted into the headphones, the SRM internal
microphones are automatically disconnected.
Audio Advantage
SRM USB Sound
Card
The Audio Advantage SRM is a 7.1 channel USB sound card that converts a USB
digital signal into 6 discrete audio channels to drive the speakers inside the
headphones. The SRM also serves as a versatile audio interface for connecting
speakers, recording from external sources, and even provides a room monitor so
you can hear what’s going on around you while wearing the AK-R8 headphones
(without the headphone mic installed.)
USB Cable Use this to connect the SRM to the USB port on a PC or Laptop
Optical S/PDIF
Adapter
Insert this adapter into the white or black jacks (Line input and output) to connect the
SRM optical digital input and output to external devices using an optional TOSLINK
optical cable.
