Question: How do I set up the ATH-M50xSTS StreamSetâ„¢ Streaming Headset?
Answer: Designed for streamers and content creators, the ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet™ is the world’s first professional streaming headset that combines the legendary studio sound of the ATH-M50x headphones with the clarity of the iconic 20 Series microphones.
The StreamSet is available in two configurations. The ATH-M50xSTS is outfitted with a 2 m (6.6') permanently attached cable with 3.5 mm (1/8") headphone input and XLR microphone output for connection to an audio interface or mixer. A 6.3 mm (1/4") snap-on adapter is also included for the headphone plug. For those looking for plug-and-play connectivity to PCs and Macs, there is a USB version of the headset, the ATH-M50xSTS-USB, that is outfitted with a 2 m (6.6') permanently attached cable with USB-A connection (and a USB-A to USB-C adapter). Here we will talk about the ATH-M50xSTS XLR/3.5 mm version.
