Review on Turtle Beach Elite Tactical Audio Controller by Jennifer Pimentel

Love/hate this mixer. I can receive sound from my Xbox, my computer, and my phone at the same time. The main problem with this mixer is that I can't get the mic to work. When I share my mic through the controller's 3.5mm port, it's so quiet it's almost unnoticeable unless you literally put it in your mouth. "OUTBOUND MIC BOOST" doesn't seem to do anything. I thought my TAC was broken so I returned it and bought another one, but the same problem occurred when I replaced it (I've also tried 3 different headsets). I didn't want to lose 3 simultaneous audio inputs by switching to Mixamp Pro (2 total) so I ended up buying a cheap mic clip and a 3.5mm 4 pole splitter (stereo/mic) - maybe US$20 together -Dollar. . The splitter allows me to connect my microphone to the splitter and the splitter to the Xbox controller and send chat/audio from the splitter to the TAC controller port. With the addition of a separate mic and splitter, I'm really liking my setup. I also bought a separate volume control for my phone's incoming audio. I can chat with friends on the Xbox app, listen to music on my phone, and chat with people in-game on the controller. PS If you have a problem with ground loop noise, you can also use a mic/stereo splitter to connect a ground loop isolator to the stereo input.
