Turtle Beach and Major League Gaming Celebrate Retail Debut of Tournament Gear at MLG Winter Championship

 “We are excited to bring these incredible new audio products to gamers everywhere,” said Sundance DiGiovanni, Co-Founder and CEO of Major League Gaming. “Now pro players, new competitors and casual gamers alike will have access to the best equipment possible to help take their gameplay to a new level.” 

Turtle Beach is the official audio provider for Major League Gaming, which uses the Ear Force SEVEN Series console and PC headsets and TM1 tournament mixers during MLG Pro Circuit tournaments. Developed in collaboration with MLG, the XP SEVEN and Z SEVEN headsets are designed to meet the demanding needs of the most competitive gamers. The headsets allow competitors to instantly change the mix of game, chat and microphone audio levels using a combination of controls and presets to deliver a competitive advantage in shifting game scenarios. Using Turtle Beach’s Advanced Sound Editor (ASE), gamers can also replace the standard audio presets with up to eight game and eight chat audio presets – for over 64 possible preset mixes – to match their personal and team preferences. “The performance of gaming equipment can be the difference between winning and losing for pros, and working with MLG allows us to test our headsets with the most demanding gamers in the world,” said Juergen Stark, Chief Executive Officer of Turtle Beach. “Our headsets and TM1 mixer were well received, and we look forward to making them available to every gamer who wants the competitive edge, high quality audio, and versatility our headsets provide, whether during tournament play or while gaming at home.” 

The SEVEN Series headsets offer unsurpassed versatility while delivering outstanding audio quality and comfort. Using interchangeable connectors, the same headset can be used on an Xbox 360®, PlayStation® 3, PC or Mac®. A removable boom microphone, optional in-line microphone, and lay-flat ear cups also make the SEVEN ideal for handheld and mobile gaming on handheld consoles, smartphones, and tablets. The TM1 is a 6-channel audio mixer that enables crystal clear communication for up to six players on the same team, or two teams of up to three players each. It also offers several distinctive input and output options, including a broadcast feed, coach’s input, analog noise gate to cancel out crowd noise and a microphone volume setting to accommodate the sensitivity of any mic paired with the mixer. While designed for tournament use, the TM1 is ideal for multiplayer console and PC LAN parties.
