Astro A40 TR Headset with MixAmp Pro TR (2017)

The Astro A40 TR headset paired with the MixAmp Pro TR is a wired gaming audio system built for PlayStation 4. It includes a 2.0 m inline mute cable, a 3.0 m TOSlink optical cable, a 3.0 m micro-USB cable and a 0.5 m digital daisy chain cable. The headset features a swappable precision microphone and is mod kit ready for component changes.

Competitive Gamers and Streamers on PlayStation 4

This setup suits competitive players and live streamers who want digital, lag-free audio control via the ASTRO Command Center software. It is not for buyers seeking a wireless headset or those who need native compatibility with platforms other than PlayStation 4 without checking separate adapter requirements.

Straightforward Wired Setup With Optical and USB

Installation involves connecting the MixAmp Pro TR to the console using the supplied optical and micro-USB cables, then plugging the headset into the amp. The 0.5 m daisy chain cable links additional MixAmps for tournament use. Cable routing around the play area is the most common friction point.

Questions about this item

Do I need a PlayStation 4 to use the A40 TR headset with the MixAmp Pro TR?

The bundle is built for PlayStation 4; the MixAmp Pro TR connects to the console via the included 3.0 m optical cable and 0.5 m digital daisy-chain cable, while the headset plugs into the MixAmp with the 2.0 m inline mute cable.

Can I keep using my existing Mod Kit components with this 2017 A40 TR?

Yes — the A40 TR is Mod Kit ready, so speaker tags, microphone and ear cushions from Astro Mod Kits swap onto this headset to change it from open-back to closed-back noise-cancelling.

How can I verify the MixAmp Pro TR is processing audio correctly after I connect everything?

Open the ASTRO Command Center software on a PC linked via the 3.0 m micro-USB cable; it shows every input and output parameter in real time so you can confirm lag-free, interference-free operation.
