This is the tenth consecutive year that Plantronics has been
recognized by the Consumer Technology Association for its
innovative audio solutions. Products entered in this prestigious
program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent
industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the
trade media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting
edge consumer electronics products across 28 product
categories.
“I’ve never met a gamer who wasn’t looking for some sort of
competitive edge,” said Tanguy Leborgne, Vice President of Consumer
Solutions at Plantronics. “Our newest RIG line with Dolby Atmos
enables multi-directional, fully immersive audio cues like nothing
else in the market today. Combine that with a long-lasting battery
life and signature lightweight design, and the choice becomes
obvious. If you want a true 360ᵒ competitive edge, Plantronics RIG
with Dolby Atmos has you covered.”
The new RIG 400LX, RIG 600LX and the award winning RIG 800LX
give gamers three different headset options that all bring the
heightened realism of Dolby Atmos for Headphones to life.
Individual headset features include:
Plantronics RIG 800LX Wireless Features
- Dolby Atmos for Headphones Activation: Provides gamers with
full, 3-D audio by changing the way developers treat sound in-game.
Instead of placing audio in a flattened 2D circle, Dolby Atmos
technology creates a full sphere of sound that moves around the
gamer – above and below, in front and behind.
- Performance Audio: Amplified audio with matched 40 mm drivers
brings the soundstage to life. Low frequency resonators reinforce
bass and limit distortion. When done talking, just flip up the mic
to mute it.
- Precise Controls: Analog dials help you quickly adjust the
balance between game and chat audio, as well as master volume.
Choose an EQ setting to isolate pure highs, intensify the
mid-range, enjoy seismic bass or enhance vocal focus.
- Advanced Battery: Wireless headset with a 24-hour battery life
that allows players to focus on gaming without worrying if the
headset will lose power. When the headset needs to be charged, the
enhanced quick-charging battery provides three hours of gaming per
30 minutes of charge.
Plantronics RIG 400LX and RIG 600LXRIG 400LX
and RIG 600LX also feature Dolby Atmos for Headphone activation.
RIG 400LX features 40 mm drivers which deliver explosive game audio
that puts you right in the middle of the action. The
noise-cancelling boom mic is always ready for chat and ensures your
teammates hear you loud and clear. RIG 600LX delivers a balanced
soundstage with distortion-free bass that helps you immerse in the
experience without masking the subtle audio cues you must hear to
stay in the game. Both models include the RIG LX1 pro level amp
with three audio EQ modes, dual analog control-wheels for game/chat
balance and an aux input for music.
[1] Dolby Atmos® requires an Xbox One or Windows 10 compatible
device, and a Microsoft account and login. Activation for one
device only.

and RIG 800LX for use with Xbox One and Windows 10 are available at
