USER MANUAL MMX 300 BEYERDYNAMIC

Thank you for selecting the MMX 300 headset. Please take some time to read carefully through this quick start guide before using the headset. Safety Instructions

Warning: When connecting the headphones, make sure that you have turned

the volume down to the minimum. Adjust the volume only after the headphones are in place. We would like to point out that listening at high volumes over a long period of time may damage your hearing irreversibly. Make sure that the set volume is not too high. Rule of thumb: The higher the volume, the shorter the time of listening. This also shows an example from working life: According to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations of German trade associations, noise pollution e.g. in the workplace must not exceed 85 dB (room volume level) during a maximum permissible listening time of 8 hours. If the volume level is increased by 3 dB respectively, the permissible listening time is cut in half, i.e. at 88 dB, the listening time is 4 hours, at 91 dB 2 hours, etc. Risk of injury! When wearing wired headphones, avoid any sudden movements. You could seriously injure yourself, especially if you have any piercings or wear earrings or glasses, etc. that can get caught in the wire. Warning – Microphone Please make sure that you do not connect the microphone to microphone inputs supplying phantom power (12 - 48 V), as this will damage the microphone. Applications The MMX 300 is an ideal headset for all gaming, multimedia and Voice over IP applications. The technology of the MMX 300 is based on the reliable HS 400 aviation headset suitable for hi-fi applications. The noise-cancelling microphone with a crystal-clear sound ensures a clear and precise voice transmission even in noisy surroundings. The closed design guarantees absolute undisturbed enjoy- ment of game and sound combined with a high comfort due to soft, replaceable ear and headband pads. Thanks to the cable remote control and supplied adapter cable the MMX 300 headset is suitable for use with a PC and gaming with a notebook or console which have a mini (3.5 mm) combination jack.Setting up and Use of the Headset Put the headset on your head. The microphone is on the left side. Position the microphone to the front of the middle of the mouth. In order to avoid pop noise you should use the microphone with a pop shield. Headband For best comfort and noise attenuation, the headband can be adjusted to fit your head properly. Wear the headset so that the headband runs over the top of your head and adjust the headband so that

• your ears are completely enclosed by the ear cushions,

• you feel a gentle pressure around your ears,

• both ends of the headband have the same length to ensure a proper fit Microphone

• The pop shield should enclose the microphone completely.

• Bend the flexible gooseneck so that the microphone is placed about 2 cm in front of the middle of your mouth. Important: In order to avoid overstretching and premature wear and tear never bend the gooseneck more than 90°. english MMX 300 – Headset

Headset cable for gaming sessions with two 3-pole jack connectors to connect to a headphone output and microphone input of a PC, notebook or console, which have a mini (3.5 mm) combination jack. Due to the screwed-on adapter the head- phone can also be connected to devices with a 1/4" jack. Note: A common source of error is that the 5-pole jack connector is not properly connected to the headset. If the headset does not work, please check first whether the cable is completely plugged into the headphone housing of the MMX 300. Please refer also to fig. 1. There is a locking protection on the 5-pole jack connector of the connecting cable, which has to lock in place. When a malfunction occurs, simply pull out the plug again and push it firmly into the socket with a slight rotary motion so that all 5 poles of the connector have contact.
