CONTROLS

The inner right ear cup ring features volume control. Rotating the ear cup ring forward raises the volume of the headset and rotating the right inner ring back lowers the headset volume.
MICROPHONE
The microphone supports mute on/off illumination only when using the main male connector plug directly through the USB sound card. When the microphone is muted, the mute LED light will turn on. Rotating the left inner ring back will unmute the microphone and the mute LED will turn off
SHARE SOUND
A second headset can be connected to the Siberia Elite allowing a friend to share the audio experience. Just plug the second headset into the left ear cup audio jack. This second headset can only share audio and will not have any microphone functionality.
CONNECTIONS
The Siberia Elite comes with multiple connections allowing the headset to be compatible with PC, Mac ®, and mobile devices.
When connecting to a PC or Mac ® use the USB sound card and main male connector plug for headset and microphone mute on/ off illumination. Additional sound card audio features and illumination settings can be customized through SteelSeries Engine 3 at Steelseries.com/engine.
The Siberia Elite Headset can also be connected to a PC without the sound card. For this setup first, plug the PC connector directly into the main Siberia Elite male connector plug. Next, connect the two audio 3.5mm connectors to the audio ports on your computer. Make sure to plug the red-tipped connector into the microphone input and the green-tipped connector into the speaker output from the computer. This connection does not support illumination or any additional sound card features.
The Mobile connector is designed to be used with your mobile phone, tablet, or Mac® computer that supports a single 4-pole 3.5mm jack for both audio output and microphone input. For this setup first, plug the mobile connector directly into the main Siberia Elite male connector plug. Next, connect the single 3.5mm connector to your mobile device or computer.
Using the PC and Mobile/Mac® connectors directly with the headset will not support illumination or any additional sound card features.
