Software Setup
Windows
1. Download and install the latest M-Game software (with embedded audio driver) from
m-game.com.
2. Connect the power and USB cable(s) to the M-Game RGB Dual and press the
power button.
3. Connect your separate headphones and microphone, or combined headset, to the
rear panel of the M-Game RGB Dual.
4. Open the M-Game software and select either the SET MIC from the HOME tab and
follow the on-screen instructions or go to the SETUP tab and select the HW
METER button so its lit red.
a. Under Microphone, turn Phantom Power on or off depending on whether you’re
using a condenser microphone (Phantom Power on) or a dynamic microphone
(Phantom Power off).
Note: Headset microphones do not require phantom power.
b. Speak into your mic at the loudest level you expect to speak in your stream and begin turning up the Gain knob on
the rear panel of M-Game RGB Dual. You'll notice that the Mic Fader LEDs on M-Game RGB Dual will light up
when you speak, showing the incoming signal. Continue speaking into the mic and turning up the Gain knob until
you see the Mic Fader LEDs flash red 3 times. This means M-Game RGB Dual's Mic Gain knob is set too high.
Turn down the Mic Gain knob until you no longer see the LED flash red 3 times. You’ll want to get the Mic Fader
LEDs as close to the top LED without the LEDs all flashing.
Note: If you are using a low gain mic (like a SHURE SM7B
or ElectroVoice RE20) you will need to use the M-Game
software's BOOST function. You can find BOOST in the
Setup tab under Basic Microphone Settings. Simply
speak into your mic at the loudest volume you expect to
speak in your stream and turn up the Boost knob until the
Mic fader’s meter in the M-Game Software shows the
top LED lit red. Slowly turn the Boost knob back down
until the Mic fader’s meter in the software no longer
shows red. You can change the BOOST level from Off to
+24 dB.
Note: Now that you’ve setup your mic you can turn off the
HW Meter button in the M-Game Software to return the
Mic fader to its default LED behavior.
c. Adjust the EQ, Compressor, Noise Gate, High Pass Filter
(HPF), and De-esser settings to get the best sound from
your mic.
Note: You can also use one of the Mic presets in the
M-Game software to automatically configure your mic’s
settings. These mic presets are found in File > Setup >
Load Microphone Settings.
5. In the SETUP tab's HARDWARE section select what source
your Game audio is coming from and what source you Chat
Audio is coming from.
6. Open your game, chat, M-Game software, streaming
software, and any other programs you will be running in your
stream and ensure that their audio is playing
7. Press the Windows key and then type Sound Settings into
the search bar. Alternatively, right click the speaker icon in the
taskbar and select Open Sound Settings.

9
8. On Windows 10, in Sound Settings, under Sound Output select System. This will ensure any audio that you're not
routing specifically to the M-Game RGB Dual's Game, Chat, or Sampler fader will default to be controlled by the
System fader. Under Input select Stream. This will set your broadcast/stream mix as your default output source. In
Sound Settings under Advanced Sound Options, select App Volume and Device Preferences. In this window you
will see every audio source running and where that audio is being sent to and from (its Routing). This allows you to send
audio from different programs to the M-Game.
On Windows 11, in Sound Settings under Sound Output select System. This will ensure any audio that you're not
routing specifically to the M-Game RGB Dual's Game, Chat, or Sampler fader will default to be controlled by the
System fader. Under Input select Stream. This will set your broadcast/stream mix as your default output source. In
Sound Settings select Volume mixer. In this window you will see every audio source running. You will also be able to
select where that audio is being sent to and from (its Routing) by pressing the down arrow next to the app's volume

Mute Button
The Stream, Chat, Alt, Main Out, Phones, and Sampler outputs each have an icon which can
be toggled on or off. Toggling them on indicates that the MUTE will mute the microphone's
signal to that output when engaged. Double pressing the Mute button on your M-Game
RGB Dual will engage MIC MUTE ALL. This is a quick way to toggle all of them On.
"$%^#*" (CENSOR) Button
This selection enables you to select and set the sample that will be triggered
when the "$%^#*" (CENSOR) button is pressed. When the "$%^#*" (CENSOR)
button is pressed the selected sample will play as a one-shot and the
microphone signal will be muted for as long as the button is pressed and held.
Hardware Control Settings
This section shows from what PC the Chat Audio and the Game Audio sources will be received
from.
Chat Audio Source: Stream PC or Game PC
Game Audio Source: Stream PC, Game PC or Console/Television (Optical)
Footswitches
These can be independently set to one of two modes, M-Game or Hot Keys.
In M-Game mode, a footswitch can be set to trigger any button on the hardware. A list of all potential hardware buttons will
be shown.
In Hot Key mode, a footswitch can trigger a hot key (macro/keyboard shortcut) combo. A dropdown list will be seen to
select the key and modifier key.
Note: When the Mic Mute button is assigned to the footswitch, double tapping the footswitch will work the same as double
tapping the M-Game RGB Dual's Mic Mute button and will mute the Microphone's signal going to all sources.

16
Routings
When the Routings tab is selected you will see what audio input signals are being sent to the different audio outputs. From
here you can choose how the inputs and outputs are mapped. Select what audio channels you want sent to your STREAM,
CHAT, ALT (additional USB output), SAMPLER, MAIN OUTS and HEADPHONES.
1. Input Icons: Each “input icon” can exist in two different modes, toggle mode and virtual fader mode. Right clicking
(Windows) or secondary clicking (macOS) on each icon brings up a menu that can switch between the two modes.
Secondary clicking can be changed in macOS System Preferences.
2. Basic Mode (default): In this mode, clicking on an icon will toggle it on or off. Off icons will appear grayed out, which
will mute that input to the corresponding output (at the end of the row).
3. Virtual Fader Mode: In this mode, a smaller version of the icon will be shown along with a virtual fader and numeric
level indicator. When in virtual fader mode, the input ignores the physical fader for that output and allows you to make a
completely virtual mix to the output (at the end of the row). Using virtual faders is helpful if you would like to hear a
different volume mix in your headphones than what is being sent to the stream.
4. Output Icons: The Output Icons are used to represent the various USB audio outputs and hardware outputs on the
M-Game RGB Dual. Right clicking (Windows) or secondary clicking (macOS) on each icon brings up a menu that can
activate the following options. Secondary clicking can be changed in macOS System Preferences.
5. Headphones: Activating this will send that outputs audio to the headphones.
6. Basic Mode:Selecting this will change all of the icons from Virtual Mode to Basic Mode.
7. Virtual Mode:Selecting this will change all of the icons from Basic Mode to Virtual Mode.
8. Set All Muted:Selecting this will mute audio inputs being sent to the output.
9. Set All Unmuted:Selecting this will unmute audio inputs being sent to the output.
10. Copy Mixer To:Selecting this will enable you to copy and paste the audio input settings being sent to the currently
selected output to another output.

Sampler
Samples (1-10)
This menu accesses the sample button functions. The sampler page is broken into four sections: The Sample List, the
Sample Button Control, the Menu Bar, and the Sample Editor.

18
Sample List
This is a list of the current available samples.
Sample Control
This gives a visual display of the hardware where you can configure the sample buttons.
1. Bank Toggle: This shows a bank
selection toggle to determine
which bank you are affecting.
2. Frame: When a sample has been
assigned, these frame areas will
show a sample’s corresponding
image and Button Type (Play
Mode).
3. Name and Clear: Below each
floating frame is the name of the
sample. You can drag samples
from the sample list onto a button
or into the image frame, and it will
associate that button with the
sample. The image will fill the
empty frame, the name of the
sample will appear below, and the
button type will appear in the small
frame at the bottom right of the
image. Right-click (Windows) or
secondary click (macOS) on a
button to bring up an option to
clear the button.
Note: If dragging a sample into the frame or onto the button, the sample will replace all of the samples in the current
Stack.
4. Selecting a button: When a new sample is dropped onto a button, it will also select that button. Click on a button to
also select that button. When a button is selected, its settings appear in the Button Control panel.
• To assign a sample to a button: Drag the sample from the sample list to either the frame or the representation of
the button. This will clear all current contents for the button (except LED settings) and assign that sample to that
button. While dragging a sample, if the mouse is over a button, you can visually see the contents of the button
underneath before releasing the mouse and affecting a change to that button. To cancel, move the mouse off the
button and stack areas and release to cancel the potential change.
5. Stack: In addition to dragging samples directly onto buttons, a sample can be dragged onto the Stack list for a selected
button. Samples can be rearranged inside of a stack by clicking and dragging. Right click on a sample in the stack list
to pull up a menu with move up, move down, and remove options. Double click on a sample in a stack to select it in the
editor and auto-select it in the sample list.
6. Button Types: The sample button types are:
• One Shot: Plays the sample one time all the way through.
• Tap Loop / Tap Stop: Plays the sample and loops it until pressed again.
• Tap Play / Tap Fade: Plays the sample and loops it. When tapped again it will begin to fade out.
• Hold Play / Release Stop: Plays the sample and loops it until released, at which time it abruptly stops.
• Hold Play / Release Fade: Plays a sample until released, at which time it begins to fade out.

functions.

3. Import Sample: This enables you to import .wav, .mp3, .wma, and .aif files into the sample editor.
4. Record New Sample: This allows you to record a new file for editing. When recording a new sample, the record
indicator at the top of the app will turn on. The RECORD NEW SAMPLE button will become a STOP RECORDING
button.
