Plantronics has unveiled its new RIG line of products, the first of which – the RIG headset - allows gamers to stay connected to their smartphone while playing, offering a wired mixer and the ability to toggle without issue between a video game console and “the real world.” The RIG is a headset aimed at helping today’s multi-screen and multi-device connected gamers “manage their digital life”. The rocker switch on the mixer can then simply switch between sources completely, or thanks to the independent volume sliders, re-balance the audio to match the focus of your attention.
Plantronics says the RIG headset and mixer will enable you to “Play More. Pause Less.” However it’s more than just a device which lets you keep gaming when you receive a call. Other options include the use of your own music, in the background while you game. The mixer is very flexible with its independent volume controls and rocker switch but it goes far beyond that with its EQ profiles for the audio sources.
Features :
Innovative mixer: the mixer seamlessly connects the virtual world and the real world.
With a punch of the paddle, take calls without pausing the game.
Twin sliders enable gamers to find the perfect mix of game audio, voice chat and smartphone audio.
Interchangeable boom and inline mics: The noise-cancelling boom mic is removable for music, chat or gaming on the go.
Three EQ profiles: Pure, Intensify and Seismic.
Street style industrial design
Ultra-comfortable ear cushions and headband
Universal compatibility with PC/Mac, Xbox 360, PS3, smartphones and tablets
Price & Availability :
The new Plantronics RIG headset will be arriving in store during the fall of this year and will be priced at around $130.
