Frequently asked questions
Can I use my gaming headset mic with it?
Yes. It has a 3.5mm mic jack next to the headphone jack. A headset with a single combined plug needs a 2-in-1 splitter cable, which is sold separately.
Does it work with PS5 and PC?
Yes. XTUGA lists PC, Mac and PS4/PS5, and it works on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Can I connect it to speakers or a projector?
Yes. Use the RCA L/R output to connect powered speakers, a TV or a projector.
Can I use a studio XLR microphone with it?
No. It has no XLR input or phantom power, so it is not a recording interface. For XLR mics, look at an audio interface or mixer instead.
Is an optical cable included?
No. The box has the PH-3, a USB data cable and a user manual. Optical and coaxial cables are sold separately.
