[News] Plantronics Announces RIG Headset and Audio Mixer

Plantronics today announced the New Zealand release of its RIG headset and audio mixer – the first in a new line of RIG gaming products designed to help today’s multi-screen and multi-device connected gamers manage their digital life.

RIG systems blend superior game audio and chat, at home and on-the-go, with mobile audio, music, and apps, and lets users take calls without hitting pause. Gamers can introduce an alternate soundtrack, using stored or app-based music from a connected smartphone or tablet.

A fully customized audio experience is made possible by electing a preferred mix of game and smartphone sound – calls, music and app notifications.

“RIG is the beginning of the next wave in what gamers will come expect from their headsets. Using our expertise in acoustics, industrial design, and communications, we’ve designed RIG from the ground up for the high performance needs of gaming while also giving users new levels of versatility by combining other elements of their lifestyle into one seamless, user-controlled experience,” says Peter Petrides, Director of Gaming, Australia & New Zealand at Plantronics.

“RIG immerses gamers in their virtual world while keeping them seamlessly connected to the real one.”

“With a complete system of headset, mixer, convertible cables, and two-way access to smartphone audio and voice communication, RIG gives users the power to integrate their lives with an ultimate gaming audio experience,” says Petrides.

The RIG headset delivers epic audio performance, with precision stereo, crystal-clear voice and three EQ profiles, including Seismic mode, allowing players to feel the bass. Breakthrough bass tube technology drives accurate and powerful low-octave audio without distorting critical mid and high frequency audio cues essential to gamers.

RIG will be available at EB Games and MightyApe.co.nz from 1 December for a recommended retail price of NZ$169.95.
