3.5mm-to-3.5mm Cables
We’ve given you two different lengths of this cable. The short one can be
used for adding your mp3 player to your gaming mix, when you connect to
the MP3 input on the back of the A40 MixAmp™. The short length will keep
your player at arm’s length for easy adjustment.
The longer length cable is a convenient size for connecting the A40
MixAmp’s™ PC MIC output to your PC’s microphone input.
Either cable can also be used for daisy-chaining two or more MixAmps™ if
you find that the A40 Daisy-Chain connector is too short.
Dual Jack-to-3.5mm 4-pole Adapter
This adapter will enable the use of any standard 3rd party headset with
separate microphone and audio jacks with the A40 MixAmp™. The ASTRO
Gaming A40 Headset combines audio and microphone signals into a single
cable - and a single connector for a simple, clean connection. You don’t need
to use an adapter when using an A40 Headset.
Important: You will need to use this adapter to use any non-ASTRO headset.
USB-to-USB Mini ‘B’ cable
This cable powers the A40 MixAmp™ when you want to conserve battery
power or need to recharge your A40 rechargeable battery kit (available
separately). Connect it to any USB port on your PC or gaming console.
Important: the A40 doesn’t interface with your PC or Xbox 360 via USB - it
only receives power from this port.

A40 MixAmp™ and Daisy-chain Connector
The A40 MixAmp™ comes docked with a Daisy-chain connector. This con-
nector enables you to easily connect to other A40 MixAmps™, instantly
opening up a private, high-quality voice communication channel.
Important: Always keep the connector fully inserted and seated for proper
operation. An incorrectly seated Daisy-chain connector may cause feedback
or other interference.
RCA-to-RCA Piggyback Cable
This long cable is used to connect your console to the A40 MixAmp™, pro-
viding a line-level feed of game audio to the A40. The “Piggyback” end can
fit right in-between your gaming system RCA connectors and your televi-
sion, without hogging another input/output spot.
3.5mm-to-RCA cable
This cable is an alternative to the RCA-to-RCA Piggyback cable for gamers
who would rather get their game audio feed from their computer or TV’s
headphone jack. Connect to the headphone jack of any television, handheld
gaming system, PC, or mp3 player - you’ll get instant Dolby Pro Logic Sur-
round for all of your DVD’s, music, and games.
Keep in mind that connecting through a headphone jack is a lower quality
audio signal, and your volume level is subject to the volume setting of your
audio source. For the best audio quality, we recommend using a digital au-
dio connection, or line-level audio connected with the included RCA-to-RCA
cable.
2.5mm-to-2.5mm Xbox Live Controller cable
This cable handles the Xbox Live communication between your controller
and the A40 MixAmp™. Just connect it to your controller and to the 2.5mm
input on the front of the A40 MixAmp™ — the side that says
CONTROLLER.
