Features

The Ear Force™ PX4 is a premium, Dolby surround sound headset designed for PS3™, PS4™ and Xbox360® gaming. To get the most from your PX4, please take a few minutes to review this introduction.

Dolby® Surround Sound

The PX4 transmitter processes Dolby Digital surround sound from your PS3™, PS4™ or Xbox360® and sends it to the headset via digital RF. The result is an immersive sound environment that makes you feel as if you're right in the middle of the action. It also helps you react quicker by hearing exactly where the sound cues in the game are coming from.

DOLBY® DIGITAL

Dual-Band Wi-Fi

The Ear Force PX4 headset provides wireless CD-quality game sound via dual-band digital RF (radio frequency) that communicates with the PX4 transmitter. This advanced dual-band Wi-Fi technology uses either 5GHz or 2.4GHz signals to transmit high fidelity digital audio and finds the optimum frequency to help eliminate interference with other wireless devices and Wi-Fi networks. Unlike the RF technology used in most other wireless headsets, the dual-band Wi-Fi technology found in the PX4 coexists with wireless networks for optimum performance.

DUAL BAND WIFI

Dual Pairing Bluetooth®

The PX4 incorporates Bluetooth technology which can be used to simultaneously pair to two Bluetooth-enabled devices at once. For example, you can pair the PX4 to your PS3 and your mobile phone at the same time. This allows you to use your PX4 to accept phone calls all while totally immersed in the action of the game.

Bluetooth®

Rechargeable Battery

The PX4 also features a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides up to 15 hours of continuous game play on a single charge. The battery can also be recharged while gaming with the included charging cable so you'll never miss out on the action.

Engineered for High-Quality Sound

The PX4 headset is engineered to deliver high-quality audio that makes it ideal for gaming, movies and digital music playback. The high-fi delity, 50mm speakers are encased in acoustically-tuned ear cups with soft fabric cushions and deliver extended bass with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum audio performance.

① Digital Input LED: This LED turns on when a digital input signal is detected. When this LED is ON, the analog input is turned off.

② Surround Sound LED: The LED will light whenever the digital input is being processed by the surround sound decoder. When this LED is off, the audio signal will be heard in stereo.

③ Dolby® Digital LED: The LED will light whenever a Dolby Digital encoded signal is detected on the digital input.

4 Power/Link LED: When the transmitter is powered on and communicating with the headset, this LED will be on solid. If the LED is slowly pulsing/off it indicates the transmitter can't communicate with the headset. This could happen when the headset is out of range, turned off or not paired with the transmitter.[see pg 30]

⑤ Digital Input and Output: The Digital In is used to connect your PX4 to a Xbox360/PS3/PS4 for audio. The Digital Out can be used to pass through audio to a home theater system.

⑥ Analog Input Jack: Provides a 3.5mm input for digital music players or additional audio sources. (3.5mm cable sold separately) NOTE: The analog input is deactivated whenever a digital input is active, so both the digital and analog inputs cannot be used at the same time.

Transmitter Range

The transmitter sends game audio from your Xbox 360® console to the headset via digital radio frequency (RF) signal, so a direct line of sight is not required. When you're out of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal. For best performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on a metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver.

Home Theater Setup

Setting up the transmitter as illustrated below lets you listen to your console or TV with the PX4 headset. You can also hear your console on your home theater speakers without disconnecting the optical cable from the transmitter.

Connecting the PX4 transmitter digital output to your home theater system will pass your console's game audio from the transmitter's digital input to the home theater A/V receiver digital input, so you can hear the game audio on your PX4 headset and your surround sound speakers at the same time. To hear the game audio only on the PX4 headset, turn down or mute your speakers.

* Whenever a DIGITAL INPUT is detected, the ANALOG INPUT is turned OFF. So if you have your TV plugged into the ANALOG IN jack, you won't hear it if your game console is transmitting digital audio to the transmitter.

Connecting a Digital Music Player

The PX4 features an analog input for connecting digital music players or other analog sources. The Analog Input volume can be adjusted directly from the digital music player or analog source.

Digital Music Player Analog Input* IN - DIGITAL - OUT ANALOG IN 3.5mm Cable (sold separately)

* Whenever a DIGITAL INPUT is detected, the ANALOG INPUT is turned OFF. So if you have your TV plugged into the ANALOG IN jack, you won't hear it if your game console is transmitting digital audio to the transmitter.

Dolby® Digital Processing

The PX4 uses Dolby Digital 5.1 surround processing technology – the industry-standard format for encoding multi-channel game audio. Dolby Digital processing recreates 5.1 channel surround sound using the PX4 headset so you can hear the sound all around you, as if you were listening to a 5.1 speaker system.

Here's how the Dolby Digital mode operates:

• When the digital input signal is active, the Digital Input LED turns on and the analog inputs are turned off.
• If the Surround LED is ON, surround sound processing is activated. If the LED is OFF, surround sound processing is deactivated and the signal will be heard as stereo.
• If a Dolby Digital encoded signal is detected by the digital input, the front ▶D LED turns on and Dolby Digital processes the channels to create surround sound in the headset. The surround sound must be turned on to enable the Dolby Digital processing.

Bluetooth Setup

The PX4 incorporates Dual Pairing Bluetooth technology that can be paired to 2 Bluetooth enabled devices at once. This lets you communicate over PSN™ chat and answer calls on your mobile phone. If you're not using either of these Bluetooth features, you should turn off the Bluetooth to conserve battery power. The PX4 will automatically remember the last 2 paired devices upon powering on.

Pairing the Bluetooth on Xbox LIVE or PSN Chat

See "Bluetooth Configuration" on page 10.

Pairing a Mobile Phone

The PX4 Bluetooth must be powered off before you start:

1 On the PX4, press and hold the Bluetooth Button (BT MFB) for 5 seconds until the flashing LED begins to alternate blue and red—then release the button.
2 On your phone, make sure Bluetooth is powered on and search for Bluetooth devices as described in its user manual.
3 When your device is finished scanning, select "TURTLE BEACH Bluetooth Chat" from the list and follow the prompts to connect.

4 Enter "0000" as the Pass Key and select "OK". The Bluetooth LED on the headset will start flashing blue about once per second, indicating that the headset and phone are paired.

*NOTE: Only one Bluetooth device can be active on the headset at a time. For example, if you are making a call with the headset while on PSN chat, the chat will be deactivated until the call is over.

Bluetooth Functions

Making Calls with iPhone

Once the headset is successfully paired with your mobile phone, you can use it to make and receive calls. It can be used with voice dialing if your phone supports this function.

* Some mobile phones may not have a redial or voice recognition function. If a phone does not have a redial function, then a double-click of the MFB will initiate the voice recognition state instead. If a phone does not have either function, then a double-click or 3-second press of the MFB will have no effect.

Receiving Calls

When the PX4 Bluetooth is powered on and there is an incoming call you will hear a phone ring chime in the headset.

If you want to... Then...
Accept a call. Press the BT MFB	once.
Reject a call. Press and hold the	BT MFB until you hear a beep. The call will be sent directly to your voice mail.

The PX4 features a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides more than 10 hours of continuous game play. When your headset battery power is low, a tone will begin to sound every 10 seconds until the headset powers off. You can recharge your headset while still gaming with the included Headset Charging Cable. Simply plug the mini USB end into your headset CHARGE port and plug the other end into a free USB port on your game console. If your headset is charging while it's powered off, the LED on the headset will remain solid RED until the headset is charged, at which time the headset LED will turn off.

Adjusting Sound

The PX4 features multiple Equalizer presets to enhance your gaming audio experience. Press the TONE button on the PX4 headset to cycle through the EQ presets as illustrated:

1. Flat equalization, for the most accurate sound
2. Bass boost, for the extreme low frequencies
3. Treble boost, for the extreme high frequencies
4. Bass and Treble Boost

TONE Button TONE LIMTER

Blast Limiter Presets

The Blast Limiter presets help protect your ears from deafening sounds such as explosions and gunfire by limiting the maximum level of the game sound. You won't hear the effect unless a loud sound occurs in the game. For example, if you're in a quiet section of the game, you might want to turn up the volume to hear softer sounds like footsteps. If an explosion or gunshot suddenly occurs, it could be uncomfortably loud because you turned up the volume for the footsteps. Turning on the Blast Limiter will reduce these louder sounds so you can boost the quieter/softer sounds. Press the LIMITER button to cycle through the three settings as illustrated:

Blast Limiter Presets:

1. Limiter Off
2. Mild Limiter
3. Medium Limiter
4. Max Limiter

Adjusting Sound

Chat Boost™

Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the PX4 headset that automatically increases chat volume during loud moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates or other players, regardless of the game volume.

Typically, if you turn up a headset's game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become difficult to hear over the game sound. However, with Chat Boost, as the game audio increases, the chat volume also increases. When the game volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to your original volume setting.

To properly set the Chat Boost function:

1. Turn down the volume control on the headset so there's no game audio.
2. Adjust the chat volume control on the headset so you can hear the chat voices at a comfortable level.
3. Turn up the headset game volume and the chat volume will increase whenever the game gets louder, just as if the chat volume control is being automatically turned up along with the game level.

WITHOUT Chat Boost, chat volume is overwhelmed by loud game audio

WITH Chat Boost, chat volume increases along with game volume
NOTE: If the chat volume on the headset is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the chat volume on the headset.

The PX4 headset includes a unique variable microphone monitor feature that allows you to adjust the level of your voice heard in the headset so you won't have to shout. This can be adjusted by turning the MIC MONITOR wheel on the left ear cup.

NOTE: Turning up the mic monitor may cause the mic to pick up room sounds which will make the silence detector not automatically shut off the headset when it's not being used. If the power is not automatically shutting down, turn down this mic monitor control.

Pairing Instructions

Headset and Transmitter

In order to play audio, the PX4 headset must be "paired" (linked) to its transmitter. The headset and transmitter are paired out of the box. The instructions below are only necessary if pairing appears to have been lost.

1. Headset should be powered OFF. (Hold Power button for 3 seconds.)
2. Press and hold the Pair button on the transmitter for 5 seconds until the transmitter's Power/Link LED flashes rapidly. Release.
3. Press and hold the headset's Power button for 6 seconds until you hear the second double-beep, then release. The headset LED will flash rapidly (twice per second).
   Note: You will hear a double-beep [headset on], followed by an ascending chime [Bluetooth on], then the second double-beep (pairing headset).
4. Within 30 seconds, the transmitter Power/Link LED will remain on solid, and the headset Power LED will blink steadily once per second, indicating that pairing was successful.
