Adjusting Sound
· Master Volume.
To adjust the volume for all audio sources, use the Master Volume control on the bottom of the left ear cup.
· Bluetooth Volume.
To adjust phone call volume and music streaming via Bluetooth, use the Bluetooth Volume Up and Down buttons on the right
ear cup.
· Mic Monitor Volume.
The Variable Mic Monitor control adjusts the volume of your microphone that you hear through the headset. This does not
affect the volume heard by others over Chat.
· Mic Mute.
To temporarily turn off the Microphone, press the Mic Mute button. You will hear a low-pitched tone, indicating that the mic
is muted. To release from muting, press the Mic Mute button again. You will hear a high-pitched tone, indicating that the mic
is active.
· Dynamic Range Compression.
Audio dynamic range is the difference in level between maximum loud sounds and minimum soft sounds. In many games,
maximum volume for the loudest sounds, such as explosions, is less important than the clarity of the softest sounds, which
might indicate someone sneaking up on you. To emphasize the softer sounds, press the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC)
button. The headset will announce “Compression On.” Press the DRC button again to deactivate this feature. The headset
will announce “Compression Off.”
· Tone Effects.
To emphasize specific sounds important for game play, the Z300 incorporates four equalization settings. These can also be
used for enjoying music and other content. Each time you press the Tone Effects Button, the Z300 cycles to the next Game
Mode, which the headset announces.
- Game Mode 1.
Flat response; for the most accurate sound.
- Game Mode 2.
Bass boost, for the extreme low frequencies.
- Game Mode 3.
Treble boost, for the extreme high frequencies.
- Game Mode 4.
Bass and treble boost.
