International. At Gamescom 2016, which took place in Cologne, Germany, Sennheiser revealed a new range of gaming products dedicated to superior gaming sound. It launched the GSX 1000 and GSX 1200 PRO amplifiers for PC and Mac—the first to use a 7.1 algorithm developed by Sennheiser to meet the needs of the most engaged gamers.
It's about the renaissance of Sorround Sound — the ultimate audio positioning for gaming, with incredibly precise spatial awareness for the most exciting immersive experience. Sennheiser also introduced the GSP 300, the first product in the new range of gaming headsets. The headset with closed acoustics offers sennheiser's new design style and brings with it exceptionally realistic sound quality in combination with maximum comfort.
The Revival of Surround Sound
The new GSX 1000 and 1200 PRO audio amplifiers include Sennheiser's new Binaural Rendering Engine, which creates an immersive Surround Sound like no other. Designed specifically with the needs of engaged gamers in mind, Sennheiser's advanced immersive 7.1 algorithm delivers exceptionally accurate positional sound to give gamers a competitive edge when playing to the limit.
The audio amplifiers work with the custom Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) chip that requires no additional controllers, ensuring great ease of use—even in the middle of the game. There's no need to get out of the action to access a software screen, as the GSX 1000 and GSX 1200 PRO configure and process all the sound in their internal chipset rather than in the computer's CPU.
Designed for total concentration in the game
Arranged for easy visibility when gaming due to an integrated stand, the LED light design of the GSX 1000 and GSX 1200PRO are inspired by the instrumentation of race tanks and battleplanes – which provide quick and immediate information, allowing players to adjust the sound on the fly.
Featuring a touch control panel with a red-on-black LED light design that's surrounded by a sturdy aluminum wheel to adjust volume, the new audio amplifier radiates a sense of power, purpose, and complete focus on the gaming experience. The light design even dulls when not used to eliminate distractions and turns on the instant your hand feels nearby.
The amplifier offers dual USB Enumeration to separate audio from game communication and to give precise and separate control of each of these elements of the sound experience. It also includes a range of equalization settings where users can customize reverb levels to change the feel of the virtual space where playing. For improved comfort during team communication, the side sound settings make it easier to modulate how loud your voice sounds. Quickly switching between handset and speaker sound is also possible with just one tap, so there's no need to disconnect cables.
Get ready to compete with the GSX 1200 PRO
The GSX 1200 PRO has been created by Sennheiser specifically for professional gamers. It has add-ons such as Chat Link, which makes it possible to connect up to eight GSX 1200 PRO simultaneously for constant and lag-free communication. This professional model also allows you to control incoming and outgoing chats, with an advanced noise reduction plugin that is optimized for headsets such as Sennheiser's GAME ZERO, to allow pristine communication while playing.
GSP 300- the advancement to superior audio
The new GSP 300 set for PC, Mac, PS4TM and Xbox One is the first product in Sennheiser's new gaming range and offers enthusiastic gamers a way to enhance their audio to a higher class. Featuring memory foam pads, the GSP 300 provides the best acoustic seal that facilitates complete concentration in the game, without interruptions due to environmental noises.
They are based on extensive research into human ear ergonomics to provide the highest possible sound quality and comfort for prolonged play, regardless of whether you play for an hour or do an eight-hour marathon session. And for the best team performance, the GSP 300 is equipped with a transmission-quality noise cancelling microphone that helps minimize ambient sound for clear communication between the team.
To ensure total comfort even in longer sessions, the aviation-inspired bifurcated diadaema reduces pressure, while the ingenious hinge with ball joint makes it easy to adjust the speakers at the perfect angle to fit the shape of your face.
With intuitive and easy-to-use control, the GSP 300 helps minimize distractions and allows players to quickly change game audio and communications even at the height of the action. The volume control on the right earbud makes adjustments effortless and on the fly, while microphone can be muted in an instant by simply lifting the arm off the microphone.
Like the GSX 1000 and GSX 1200 PRO, the GSP 300 has been built to cover all the essential needs for gaming sessions, thanks to its high-quality materials and thorough testing to ensure high durability. Like all Sennheiser products, they are built to last and come with a two-year global warranty.
All products will be available by the end of September 2016.
