Designed for professionals but fit for any gamer, ASTRO
Gaming's A40 +MixAmp™ Pro provides long-lasting
comfort and complete audio control, so you can play your
way. Most importantly, the A40 delivers unparalleled
sound with incredible clarity, allowing you to hear even
the subtlest aspects of your game’s soundscape. The
unidirectional microphone may be worn on either side of
the headset, and offers superior vocal communication,
clearly capturing your voice without picking up any
background noise. You can even decorate your A40
headset by taking advantage of the customizable
magnetic speaker tags.
The MixAmp™ Pro gives you the power to adjust your
game-to-voice balance, choose an EQ mode, or adjust
your volume.
Congratulations on your
sound investment.
