Getting Started
The Pro AF™ ANC is a wired headset that offers several advanced technological features for gaming. These added features require the headset’s ILC (in-line controller) to be powered by two (2) AA batteries. Your ILC is tuned specifically to your headset. Do not swap it with another Pro AF. To ensure the longest battery life operation of your Pro AF™ ANC, always remember to switch off the ILC when it’s not in use. Forgetting to turn off the ILC will cause the batteries to run down when not in use.
Remember to turn off your headset after use.
However, if your batteries do fully deplete, the headset remains operational and you will still hear your game audio through the earcup speaker drivers and your microphone will continue to operate. Without battery power, the headset retains all of its core functions needed to play, but you will not have access to the additional features such as ANC (active noise cancellation) or custom gain adjustments until you replace the batteries.
PROTIP
Pro AF ANC will continue to perform its main functions (speakers and voice mic will work) when turned off or out of power.
Plug the microphone connector on the ILC into the left earcup of the headset. You will hear a click when it has been fully inserted. To unplug the microphone connector from the headset, press the two release buttons on either side of the connector and pull the connector away from the headset.
Plug the 3.5mm audio connector into your source. The Pro AF™ ANC can be used with any source that accepts a 3.5mm audio output such as a PS4 controller, Xbox One controller, Audio Mixers, or your PC using the included PC splitter cable if necessary.
Some PCs have separate jacks for game audio output and mic input. Use the included splitter.
The ILC has a round belt clip and cable adjuster attached to it. The belt clip is designed for the ILC to be clipped onto your pocket or belt and allows the ILC to rest easily on your leg and out of the way when not in use. You can slide the cables up or down on the belt clip to find the optimal length for you to comfortably place the ILC.
PROTIP
Cable length is optimized for a player sitting 2-3 feet away from a monitor. Use the extension cable if you need more cable slack.
The microphone should be placed directly in front of your mouth for optimal voice quality and performance. (Similar to how pilots use their headset microphones) Every 1/2” (~12mm) the microphone moves away from your mouth your voice will lower by 6dB to the players you are talking to.

WELCOME TO THE NEW LEVEL IN GAMING HARDWARE
This is the Victrix Pro AF™
A premium gaming headset designed for esports athletes and their specific needs in tournaments.
This piece of equipment will most certainly give you an advantage and help you win.
Let us show you how.
Comfort
We built the lightest esports headset – a mere 318g (0.7lb) on your head. It is light but tough thanks to aircraft grade aluminum, steel structures, lightweight polycarbonate, and precision mechanical engineering.
Soft, protein enriched leatherette cushions are backed with slow return memory foam that will conform around your ears. A brand new headband adjustment mechanism smoothly slides to provide the perfect customization.
Active Noise Cancellation
A loosely used term for gaming headsets, but never executed properly in our opinion.
Victrix Pro AF™ is the first hybrid active noise canceling (ANC) headset in gaming.
Four dedicated microphones actively listen and eliminate noise in the surrounding environment – canceling out crowd noise and helping to deliver precision audio to the operator.
Cooling Mechanism
This one is for the grinders, the 24hr streamers, the tournament pros, and the coaches. It’s not just the increasing temperatures that mess with your head during a long stretch, but also the humidity buildup around the ears.
During design research, we observed pro athletes shifting their earcups between rounds; seeking relief while they still had to use the headsets to discuss next round’s strategy.
Our solution provides instant relief: patented mechanical levers open the earcup vents to release humidity and heat without losing team communications or interrupting your stream.
Flipping the lever down will automatically activate the ANC.
In Line Controller (ILC)
A feature inspired by aviation headsets but optimized for the esports pro. There are first time in gaming features packed into this box.
We also tuned the sound of the headset in two characteristics. Both warm, one is very well balanced with a flat response, while the other delivers thundering lows and crisp mids and highs.
Microphone
A gaming headset is only as good as its microphone. This microphone’s development was based on military applications.
If you try to listen to everything and then kill the noise after it is in the signal, you will have to do a lot of digital signal processing, which requires time and results in lag. Lag is the enemy.
The elegant method is to stop the noise before it gets in the signal. Our mechanical mic filter design was originally created for the Cobra Attack Helicopter and its violent 120dB loud unpressurized cockpit.
Combined with a set of adjustments in the controller, this boom mic will deliver results.

Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting
My ANC is not turning on when I press the ANC button.
Make sure the ILC microphone connector is fully plugged into the headset
and ensure the cooling levers are fully closed on the back of the earcups. ANC
will not activate if either, or both, of the cooling vents are open.
My ILC is not turning on when I flip the power switch up.
Please replace the two (2) AA batteries in your ILC unit. The ILC may have
been left on while not in use, causing the batteries to drain sooner than
anticipated.
My ear cushion came off.
Align and insert the purple plastic tab on the back of the ear cushion with
the slot opening on the headset earcup. The purple plastic tab on the ear
cushions are labeled with an “L” or “R”, indicating the Left or Right ear
cushion.
Why doesn’t my headset charge and why doesn’t my computer recognize the
headset when plugged into the micro-USB port on the ILC?
The micro-USB port on the back of the ILC is to be used only for service
and firmware updates. The headset cannot be charged or connected to the
computer via the micro-USB connection.
How do I change the black mic badge to the customized mic badge that was
included?
To change your mic badge, firmly hold the top and bottom of the microphone
tip, and use your finger nail to unclip and pull off the mic badge from the
mic tip. Snap the customized mic badge back onto the mic tip.
