A40 NEON SERIES

 

 

 http://www.astrogaming.com/a40-audio-system-neon-color-series

 

 

 

 

 

ASTRO has led the way in gaming with innovative technology, grass roots support, and groundbreaking personalization since they day we started. Our culture is new, still taking it’s shape, with old school stereotypes finally biting the dust.  As gamers, our competitive nature makes us passionate and zealous creatures, who strive to win. But, it’s a healthy competition that does not divide us. In turn, it brings opposing creeds and corners of the world together. Ones who may have never taken notice to each other, had it not been for their shared love of gaming. We are a community, but there is no denying we still pride ourselves in independence, creativity, and style. Those are some of the same traits that make our favorite video games so much fun! At ASTRO we celebrate these differences, embrace the ever changing industry, and push to grow with our community.

 

 

Since the release of our BXR editions and the Saints Row 3 styles, fans have been clamoring for a wider palette of the ASTRO A40s. Well have no fear, cause the NEON Ninjas are here!  Today we bring you the highly anticipated refresh, with the A40 NEON Color Series. The NEONS join our A40 family with a BANG, as the four most requested colors – Pink, Yellow, Orange and Red.

 

 

 

 

 

Can Neon Colors Improve Gaming Performance?

 

 

 

“ASTRO Gaming has one of the most passionate fan bases in the gaming industry and we’ve always paid close attention to their suggestions for product improvement – it’s a critical part of how we’ve maintained our edge, delivering technologically superior, professionally performing and cutting-edge products year after year after year. While there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence that Neon Colors can improve gaming performance there is no question that any player sporting a new set of Neon A40s is going to stand out in a crowd and may even distract a few opposing players!” - Aron Drayer, Director of Marketing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The recently revealed 2013 Edition A40 Pro-Gaming Headset, including our new NEONS, feature an update to the popular Quick Disconnect Cable System, with the addition of the new Media Cable. All 2013 A40 headsets have re-tuned drivers and enclosures that give improved low-end response with less distortion at peak volume. We’ve also recently announced a significant permanent price reduction on our most popular headset, the 2013 ASTRO A40 Headset. Available now as NEONS for $149.99. Our NEONS are also available with our 2013 MixAmp pro as a NEON A40 Audio System for $249.99.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2013 ASTRO A40 Features:

 

 

• New Neon Colors – Customize your cans with four new high-style, neon color choices now available for the ASTRO A40, including Orange, Yellow, Pink, and Red.  The new neon colors join the A40’s existing black and white choices for a total of six color options.

 

• Quick Disconnect Cabling System – Updated version of the ASTRO Quick Disconnect system, offering the same flexibility of using multiple cable types and lengths, but now plugging directly into the headset via a 3.5mm 4-pole jack instead of the original mid-cable release.  This increases reliability and durability while also making it easier to change to preferred cable lengths and update cables as desired.

 

• Media Controller Cable – Designed to move freely between mobile, console and PC gaming, the ASTRO A40 Headset features a unique Media Controller Cable providing total audio control featuring: an in-line mic; an in-line mute;  a switch that toggles between in-line and boom mics; a multi-use call/pick-up/music track control button; and, a volume control wheel.

 

• Best Sounding ASTRO Headsets Ever – The 2013 Edition ASTRO A40 has re-tuned drivers and enclosures with improved low-end response and less distortion at high volumes making them the most accurate ASTRO headsets ever

 

• ASTRO Audio Experience – Engineered specifically for gaming, ASTRO Audio delivers audiophile-grade sound in a richly detailed positional audio experience.  ASTRO A40 headsets are designed for extended game playing, movie watching and music listening sessions and feature superior fit and finish.

 

• Removable Mic System – The ASTRO A40 features a highly precise, removable boom mic, which can be removed and swapped from ear to ear for a more customizable in-game communication experience.

 

• Customizable Speaker Tags:  ASTRO A40 headsets feature a magnetic, removable and customizable Speaker Tag system.  Tags can be designed online to create a unique look for teams, clans, guilds or simply for pure personal expression.

PAX East 2013

 

 

 

The ASTRO Crew arrived in Boston greeted by freezing cold snow, but nothing could stop us from enjoying the legendary Penny Arcade Expo East. This is ASTRO’s 7th consecutive PAX event as the official headset, and once again we’ve documented the chaos with daily video recaps, hosted by @LisaMalambri. On the eve of PAX our crew began setting up the ASTRO booth and gearing our partners up with custom speaker tags and headsets. Soon the once empty show floor turned into a kingdom of awesome, teaming with fans, drawn by the lure of free swag and a glimpse at their next favorite game. Let’s kick it off with our first video recap:

 

 

 

 

 

Day one in Boston was wicked awesome. PAX was full of some real colorful characters and we snapped photos of the best Cosplayers on the scene; setting them up into teams that battled it out for our Facebook fan’s respect- Who won the fight?   …[drumroll]…

 

 

 

 

TEAM 2 is victorious! Congratulations and thanks for all the votes! PAX never ceases to amaze with truly creative fans and always impressive cosplay.  Keep up the good work!

 

 

 

At the ASTRO booth, fans experienced ASTRO Audio with premier titles like: Zombie Studio’s upcoming Daylight, Konami’s Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and EA’s Dead Space 3.  Fans also participated in several contests featuring : World of Tanks speaker tags and in-game currency, Kontrol Freek prizes, Wizards of the Coast products and ASTRO headsets. All our game stations were outfitted with Scuf Gaming controllers, and we gave away several controllers to loyal fans. The ASTRO booth acted as a meeting place, chill spot, and general hang out hub for many. Fans and crew alike lounged with friends, met YouTube celebs, or just get caught up on some z’s, @LoLDyrus !

 

                                        

 

 

 

Lisa kicked off day two at PAX with a walk through of Cryptic Studios new game Dungeon & Dragons: Neverwinter, a free to play action MMO. Then Soup followed up with Signal Studios, to get the download on their new free to play MMO Ascend: New Gods. It all ended in the ECA battle arena where Lisa brutally beat down Soup and claimed victory as ultimate host.

 

 

 

 

For the third and final day of PAX, Lisa got up bright and early to check out Dust 514, another awesome free to play MMO (noticing a trend here?) where you can interact with players from Eve Online. Pretty rad. We ended our game coverage with a special guest, Gold Glove, who discussed Execution Mode and grenade load out in Gears of War: Judgement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your PAX experience just wouldn’t be complete without the Pro team meet & greet. We all got to chill in the ASTRO booth and party with our newly sponsored teams, Evil Geniuses and TSM Snapdragon.  The teams were both big hits and we are excited for the upcoming competitions and blossoming partnerships. The ASTRO Booth really is the coolest spot to kick back and enjoy everything that PAX is, and has to offer. Thanks again to all our partners, crew, fans, and new friends for makin’ it happen. What a ride…

The countdown to PAX Prime has begun… see you in Seattle!

Here’s a Call of Duty recap by Nexy, who joined our pro teams at MLG Dallas: 

 

Both of ASTRO Gaming’s premier Call of Duty squads, OpTic Gaming and EnvyUs, entered the MLG Dallas tournament with hopes to place within the Top 8 teams. Placing this high would grant them access to the exclusive Million Dollar International Tournament hosted by Treyarch. Each team came prepared to battle through the rigorous Open Bracket tournament compared to some of their peers who’ve already pre-qualified for the desirable Championship Bracket. With the odds and 15 potential rounds of Open Bracket series stacked against them, both squads quickly got to work.

 

It was OpTic Gaming who exploded from start, while not dropping a single game, advanced 6 consecutive rounds before finding themselves among the higher-tier opponents who’ve been waiting for them in the Championship bracket. OpTic Gaming continued their trend in the new bracket and on the MLG Main Stage versus two more Professional teams until they bumped into MLG’s second place champions, UNITE, who knocked them into the Losers Bracket.

 

Meanwhile, EnvyUs, had done just the same along side OpTic Gaming in the Open Bracket while only dropping a single game. They stomped through the pit, even counting an incredible 2-0 sweep versus CompLexity Gaming who later in the weekend knocked OpTic Gaming out of the the tournament. However, early in the Championship Bracket, EnvyUs suffered an hiccup by losing to MLG Dallas’ first place champions, Fariko Impact. Now EnvyUs would have to run a gauntlet of teams in the Losers Bracket to earn their spot at the Million Dollar tournament.

 

They did just that. EnVyUs bounced back with fury from their meeting with Fariko to dismantle four of North America’s best Call of Duty teams in a row.

 

OpTic Gaming and EnvyUs’ stellar performances from the bottom of the MLG Open Bracket all the deep into the Championship Bracket has secured them each a spot in the Call of Duty Million Dollar Tournament in Hollywood, this April. We are excited to see what adjustments each squad will make before competing in ASTRO’s honor once again.
