Mad Catz Interactive today announced initial details of its new additions to the Tritton audio range: the ARK series.
The new ARK series headsets represent the culmination of extensive research and development by the design team behind the Tritton gaming headset line. Headsets in the ARK series are designed to provide maximum comfort and exceptional audio quality, along with full customization for optimum performance. The ARK series is built on three key innovations:
Audionomics – The ARK series features a unique, dynamic mono-curve design that unifies audio fidelity and ergonomics to achieve the ultimate experience in sound and comfort;
R:Drive – In a world first for gaming headsets, ARK series headsets feature multiple frequency-specific speakers in each earcup (just like hi-fi speakers, where each driver handles specific frequency ranges), delivering a powerful, compromise-free immersive sound experience; and
Kameleon – Motion-dynamic RGB backlighting, which allows users to customize the illumination of each ARK headset with ease.
These innovations are the hallmark of the new ARK series range of headsets, starting with the ARK 100 Wired Stereo headset, which will be available in Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions at launch. A PC version of the ARK 100 also will be available as a wired, 7.1 Surround Sound headset.
The range will also include the ARK 300 Wireless 7.1 Headset, available in Xbox One and PS4 versions. A wireless DTS Headphone:X surround sound headset utilizing full 7.1 uncompressed audio via an HDMI pass-through base station, the ARK 300 comes equipped with a patent-pending Audionomics dial that adjusts the clamping force and acoustic pressure of the headset, allowing for truly personalized comfort and overall audio fidelity.
Mad Catz expects that the new ARK series headsets will be shipping in time for the 2016 holiday season.
