User's Guide

About the P11 Headset

The Ear Force P11 amplified headset gives serious gamers competitive edge by combining chat and stereo game sound into an immersive audio experience.

The integrated design of the P11 overcomes the limitation of communicator headsets that block game sound from one ear and eliminates voice chat interference caused by the headset microphone picking up sound from external speakers.

Pump up the volume without disturbing friends, family or neighbors. Hear every nuance of the game – from an opponent sneaking up behind you to your teammate's voice right next to you. Trash talk online. Block out distractions. It's everything you need for an amazing gaming experience.

Connect the P11's green 3.5mm audio plug to the speaker or headphone output of your PC/Mac sound card.

Step 2:

Insert the P11's USB/Power connector to an open USB port on your PC/Mac to power the headset/amplifier.

When used as a computer gaming headset, the P11 functions as two independent headsets in one package:

Amplified Stereo Headphones:

The green 3.5mm plug sends the stereo game signal from the computer sound card to the P11 headphone amplifier so you can hear game sounds, music and other sounds from your computer. The overall volume level is set by the game volume control on the P11 amplifier.

USB Stereo Headset:

The USB connection is used for mic and chat signals and appears as "Turtle Beach USB Headset" in Windows® and Mac operating systems. This lets you assign the P11 mic and chat in your game software as a USB audio device.

Safety Notice

To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it.

WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the headset, it means the volume is set too loud. The louder the volume, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care to listen at moderate levels.

• Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely, then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.
• Turn down the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
