3.5mm-to-RCA cable (Optional)

This cable is an alternative to the RCA-to-RCA Piggyback cable 
for gamers who would rather get their game audio feed from their 
computer or TV’s headphone jack. Connect to the headphone jack 
of any television, handheld gaming system, PC, or mp3 player - you’ll 
get instant Dolby Pro Logic Surround for all of your DVD’s, music, and 
games. 

Keep in mind that connecting through a headphone jack is a lower 
quality audio signal, and your volume level is subject to the volume 
setting of your audio source. For the best audio quality, we recommend 
using a digital audio connection, or line-level audio connected with the 
included RCA-to-RCA cable.

3.5mm-to-3.5mm Cable (Optional) 

This cable is a convenient length to connect the MixAmp™ 

PC MIC

 

output to your PC’s microphone input. You can also use it connect to 
the 

MP3

 input on the back of the MixAmp™.

This cable can also be used for daisy-chaining two or more MixAmps™ 
together when you find that the Daisy-chain connector is too short (like 
in a PC LAN).

Dual Jack-to-3.5mm 4-pole Adapter (Optional)

This adapter will enable the use of any standard 3rd party headset with 
separate microphone and audio jacks with the MixAmp™. The ASTRO 
Gaming A40 Headset combines audio and microphone signals into a 
single cable - and a single connector for a simple, clean connection. In 
other words, you don’t need to use this adapter when using an A40 
Headset.

Important:

 You will need to use this adapter to use any non-ASTRO PC 

headset.
