Introduction / Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of the TM1 Tournament Mixer, the new standard for tournament audio. This mixer was

developed in cooperation with Major League Gaming®, but it can also be congured to meet other tournament standards

as well.

The TM1 was developed for use in console and PC LAN tournaments, game centers, or in the home. It was also designed

to operate best when using a Turtle Beach Ear Force SEVEN or SIERRA headset . The congurations shown in this manual

do not represent a comprehensive list, and other customized settings are possible.

The TM1 allows up to six players to chat with teammates and/or a coach during play. It provides a closed chat network for

zero-latency chat. For larger teams, it’s possible to link two Tournament Mixers together to create a network of up to 12

players. Players have control over their game, chat, and/or microphone (mic.) audio volumes for optimal personal balance.

Tournaments can be very noisy, so the TM1 uses noise gate technology to eliminate distracting background noise that can

be picked up by players’ mics.

Features

Six Player Team Communication: Allows up to six teammates to connect and chat with one another. Designed for a ve

Microphone Noise Gate: Adjustable noise gate control lets you eliminate background noises your mic. may pick up.

External Link: Combine two Tournament Mixers to extend the closed chat network for a total of 12 players.

External Power: Plug the Tournament Mixer into an AC outlet to provide enough power through all of the available USB

ports for up to six amplied headsets.

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.

You can adjust this by starting the knob in its leftmost position and continuously talking into your mic. while slowly

rotating it to the right. When the light switches from RED to BLUE / GREEN, it means your voice is being picked up.

Adjust to a level where the light is solidly BLUE / GREEN when you are talking but red when you are not.

• Attach headsets according to intended use.

• Adjust according to preference.

Mic. / Noise Gate Settings

• Mic. Volume controls the gain on an outgoing mic.

• Quieter mics need more boost. Louder mics need less.

• Adjust mic. level to taste. Noise gate is not affected by mic. level.

• Individual volume controls provide personalized balancing of game, chat, and mic. audio.
