SteelSeries, the world leader in gaming and esports hardware, has announced the future of gaming audio systems. During the four years of development, the goals were to challenge the status quo, solve problem points in acting, and design the ultimate audio experience. Inspired by audiophile listening rooms with no noise and full control over sound, this entire acoustic experience has been recreated in the Arctis Nova Pro series, a gaming headset.
To power the Arctis Nova brand and create the ultimate audio experience, SteelSeries has combined the Arctis Nova Pro series of headphones with the Sonar Audio Software Suite. Designed from the ground up, the Arctis Nova Pro series delivers all-day wear comfort with a new level of excellence in HI-FI audio, AI-powered audio clarity and stylish Danish design aesthetics, enabling seamless switching between gaming platforms like never before. Specially developed to turbo-feed every headset for gaming and unlimited control over voice, team conversations and microphone in different games, Sonar allows gamers to adjust each frequency individually and hear the sounds that matter most.
High-end sound quality comes to the fore
The combination of these two assets combines the highest levels of sound quality, clarity and control, raising the bar for gamer audio systems again. It’s the birth of a new superpower for gamers, where gamers dive into the soundstage with 360° Spatial Audio, hear every critical step by taking control of every audio component with Sonar’s EQ, and achieve sound purity like no other gaming headset with all-new High Fidelity speaker drivers developed for the Arctis Nova brand.
For the first time in gaming, the Multi-System Connection center allows USB connection switching between multiple devices at the same time. Gamers can seamlessly switch between a PC, PlayStation, Switch or mobile device with a single button and without the hassle of cables.
Gamers get crystal-clear sound quality
Communication is of paramount importance during gameplay, allowing gamers crystal-clear communication with the new Al-POWERED Noise-Cancelling Microphone. And the Sonar Sound Pack silences background noise from keyboards, PC fans, or other sources. The ClearCast Gen2 microphone gives gamers a real advantage with the bi-directional microphone design used by Formula 1 teams for crystal clear, natural sound and seamless noise cancellation.
For marathon gaming sessions, the new ComfortMAX System with 4 setpoints is designed to fit heads of any size and shape. This system includes height-adjustable, swivel headphones, a flexible tension strap, swivel straps and premium PVD-coated steel band for long-term durability.
In addition to introducing features developed specific to the ‘Almighty Audio’ and Arctis Nova brand and player lifestyle, players can choose from different models based on their play style and the platform they choose.
