Plantronics Debuts RIG Gaming Headsets Bundled with Dolby Atmos® for Headphones Featuring 3-D Dynamic Audio, Greater Precision and Gaming Realism

June 19, 2017

E3 – LOS ANGELES – June 13, 2017  Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in audio and wearable technology, invites E3 2017 media attendees to experience a hands-on demonstration of the new RIG 400LX, RIG 600LX and the wireless RIG 800LX, the first gaming headsets bundled with Dolby Atmos® for Headphones.

In a revolutionary leap forward from surround sound, Plantronics RIG 400LXRIG 600LX and the wireless RIG 800LX gaming headsets will be bundled with activation codes* for Dolby Atmos for Headphones for use on Xbox One console or Windows 10 PC at no additional cost. Dolby Atmos provides powerful, moving audio that sweeps around and above gamers with increased precision and realism.

Dolby Atmos provides gamers with advanced spatial precision by changing the way developers treat in-game sound. Instead of pushing flattened audio through 2-D stereo channels, Dolby Atmos gives gamers the full positional data of their surroundings by treating audio as individual objects that realistically move around a gamer’s field of sound. With Plantronics RIG gaming headsets featuring Dolby Atmos for Headphones, gamers can hear audio cues coming from the front, back, above and below. 

About Plantronics RIG 800LX Wireless

  • Performance Audio: Game all day with up to 24-hour battery life and lag-free wireless connection to Xbox One. Amplified sound with matched 40 mm drivers brings the soundstage to life. Low frequency resonators reinforce bass and limit distortion. Voice feedback lets you monitor your outgoing chat levels and quality. The noise-canceling microphone ensures your teammates hear you, not the room you’re in. When you’re done with talk, just flip up the microphone to mute it.
  • Precise Controls: Earcup mounted dials let you quickly adjust the balance between game and chat audio, as well as master volume. Choose one of four EQ settings to isolate pure highs, intensify the mid-range, enjoy seismic bass or enhance vocal focus. 

About Plantronics RIG 600LX and RIG 400LX

Both models include the LX1 pro level amp with three audio EQ modes, dual analog control-wheels for game/chat balance and an aux input for music. The RIG 400LX features 40 mm, high-sensitivity drivers that deliver crisp, powerful sound that puts you right in the middle of the action. The noise-cancelling boom microphone is always ready for chat and ensures your teammates hear you loud and clear. The RIG 600LX delivers a balanced soundstage with distortion-free bass that drops you in the action without masking the subtle audio cues that keep you in the game.

Visit the Plantronics meeting room at E3 for the first hands-on demo of RIG 400LX, 600LX and the wireless 800LX, and to speak with Plantronics spokespeople for gaming portfolio and strategy news. Additionally, stop by the Microsoft booth to experience RIG headphones in action featuring Dolby Atmos for Headphones.
