The gaming landscape is buzzing with exuberance and delight as the holiday season prepares to unfurl an astonishing show. To further stretch gleeful smiles in the arena, Astro Gaming has unveiled two new products dubbed the MixAmp 5.8 and the A*Star Series In-Ear Headset. The former can come handy for plunging into a wireless audio experience as the spruce pair of earbuds from the A*Series display a captivating performance.
A predecessor of the acclaimed Astro MixAmp, the new iteration has been integrated with Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding and Headphone Surround Sound output. These help to deliver the 7.1 channel Dolby Surround Sound for rendering crystal-clear audio. Making way for full Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Headset on a single chip, the 56374 DSP from Freescale engineers the flow of refined acoustics on the MixAmp 5.8.
Powered with 5.8GHz wireless technology, the Astro creation is said to proffer an enthralling performance with the company’s A30 and A40 headsets. The embedded Point-to-Multipoint Pairing can be employed with up to four receivers and 1 transmitter on the Xbox 360. PS3 gamers can attach it with approximately two independent voice streams. For deriving the most out of the offering, gamers will simply need to plug the device into their headsets as they race on the NFS circuit or fight the Covenant Army in Halo: Reach.
“We’re excited to offer both professional and casual gamers alike two exciting new products that will change the way they play at home and on the road,” enthused Aron Drayer, Director of Marketing, Astro Gaming. “The Astro MixAmp 5.8 improves upon our award-winning MixAmp formula by delivering clear, lag-free audio and voice communication wirelessly with no interference by utilizing 5.8 GHz technology. Our new Astro A*Star In-Ear Headset gives mobile, smart phone and tablet gamers a critical lifestyle accessory, with tangle-free cables, a unique design and the unmatched audio quality and iconic design Astro Gaming is known for around the world.”
The other innovation from the manufacturer namely the Astro A*Star Series In-Ear Headset has been sculpted for the ultimate gaming battle. Outfitted with 9mm drivers, the audio solution extends superior quality sound in 20 – 20,000Hz frequency band. Drenched in black, white and silver hues, the innovation sports a Control Medallion which encompasses an advanced mic and easily accessible commands. Its flat cables and an additional carry case infuse greater ease while players jump into gameplay on their consoles, handheld devices, mobile phones or sit back for a music session.
