ENLL

HS60 SURROUND is a multi-platform headset that operates in two audio modes: Stereo and 7.1 surround sound. In stereo mode, you can connect the 3.5mm jack into any PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, XBOX One*, Nintendo Switch or mobile device. The included 7.1 surround sound USB adapter enables virtual 7.1 surround sound on PC.

Remember that powering the 7.1 surround sound USB adapter requires a high power (USB 2.0 or better) port. Some USB ports on older keyboards and monitors do not support high-power devices.

Place the headset on your head and adjust the headband for a comfortable fit. The plush memory foam ear pads enable the CORSAIR HS60 SURROUND headset to fit comfortably so you can play for hours without fatigue.

*May require Microsoft adapter sold separately

GENERAL TIPS ADJUSTMENT

For the best audio performance:

Download the CORSAIR Utility Engine software from.
corsair.com/support/downloads.
- Don't be afraid to use the software equalizer to adjust the audio quality to your liking. EQ presets have been provided for popular gaming and media types.

Prolonged listening at high volumes may adversely affect your hearing. Take breaks between sessions and always begin with the volume at the lowest possible level before increasing.

As with any audio product, reduce the volume before trying it with an audio source the first time.

You can adjust the volume with:

• Once an audio source is playing, set the volume to a comfortable level.

• The volume controller on the headset at the bottom corner of your left earcup.

• The standard Windows audio controller can also be used to adjust volume.

MICROPHONE ADJUSTMENT

Your new HS60 SURROUND headset features a high performance "unidirectional" microphone designed to reject noise other than your voice, but it must be pointed directly at your mouth to function correctly.

• Bend the flexible microphone boom to best fit near to the left corner of your mouth.
  We've found that about a 30 degree bend is a good place to start, but feel free to increase or decrease this if your mic is too loud or too soft.

Enjoy your CORSAIR HS60 SURROUND headset! If you have any questions or comments, see the back panel of this guide for contact information.
