Game/Voice Balance: The A50’s integrated game and voice
mixing functions are located on your right earpiece. The A50s
come preset to a 50/50 balance. To adjust, press the button for
the audio function you wish to incrementally increase. Holding
down “Game” will cause the mixing function to isolate game
sounds, quieting the voice. Pressing “Voice” will cause the mixer
to decrease game sounds, amplifying voice.
While using this feature you may find your A50 emits a series of
intermittent beeps. Rest assured, you haven't been tricked into
an ASTRO hearing test.
A50 Game/Voice Balance Beeps:
At 50/50 Game + Voice: Emits a single beep
At 100% Voice: Emits a two-tone beep (unique to max voice)
At 100% Game: Emits a two-tone beep (unique to max game)
Master Volume: The Master Volume wheel located on the
bottom of the right earpiece adjusts overall volume control.
Use the Master Volume in conjunction with Game/Voice Balance
for total audio domination. Lecherous laughter is optional (but
encouraged).
Microphone: The A50 fixed microphone operates when in the
down/forward position. To activate the microphone's mute
feature, simply swing the microphone arm up to the vertical
(12 o'clock) position, where the microphone will click into place.
Equalizer (EQ) Modes: EQ modes are controlled by a switch
located on the back of the right earpiece. The A50s come
equipped with three separate EQ modes for better listening:
1. Media: Enhanced bass, for movies and music
2. Core: Balanced for single player gaming
3. Pro: Boosted high frequencies for competitive gameplay
