Setting Up Your TM1 Analog Setup • Stereo Input: For use with analog devices . Analog connections cascade to the next channel until reaching another populated input .

If you have a 3.5mm 4 pole headset, you need to purchase an additional splitter cable so both your headphones and mic. function correctly. • 3.5mm Mic.
Setting Up Your TM1 Digital Setup • Optical Input: For use with digital devices and XPSEVEN / SIERRA Control Units. Digital connections cascade from channels 1, 3, and 5 to channel 2, 4, and 6 respectively unless there is already a digital signal on those channels. If you are using a digital connection, you need a XPSEVEN / SIERRA Control Unit to hear game audio. If you use a headset that has separate mic.
Noise Gate A noise gate removes background noise from the mic. path without removing your voice. Controlling the settings on these gates allows for an experience with very little background noise. For example, the noise gate threshold may be set to just above the room noise, so the microphone channel will only pass sound that is above the room noise (such as the sound of your voice speaking into the mic.). Lower noise gate settings mean you have to speak louder.

Multiple TM1 Setup Modes of Operation The TM1 can be used in two different modes. It can facilitate either one team of up to six players or two teams of up to three players each on one Tournament Mixer. • For 6x1 settings, all six players hear through connected headphones. • For 3x2 settings, channels 1-3 chat locally and channels 4-6 chat locally. Use switch to toggle. • To facilitate additional players, the TM1 can be daisy chained to a second TM1.
Broadcast Output Lets you connect the Tournament Mixer to a broadcast mixer for shout casters and production teams to easily broadcast and mix in players’ chat with their live streams or audio feed from the event. Broadcast output uses the TM1 link port on the back of the TM1. The signal will be mono and be either on the right or left audio path, depending on how you have the “First-Second” switch set. As an alternative, you can use any of the front headphone output jacks if they are not being used.
