San Diego – January 5, 2015 – Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (“Mad Catz”) (NYSE MKT/TSX: MCZ) announced today the shipping of the F.R.E.Q.TE Stereo Gaming Headset for PC and Mac.
Part of the Company’s Tournament Edition range of high performance gaming products, the F.R.E.Q.TEhas been designed in conjunction with e-sports athletes to deliver a competitive edge when gaming at a professional level.
A custom uni-directional Boom Mic is included, ensuring the voice of the player is conveyed with accuracy and without disruptive background noise typical of a LAN environment. Precision 50mm speakers sit inside newly designed padded ear cups, featuring memory foam to boost passive noise cancellation so that only the game audio and team mates can be heard during play.
Featuring simple plug-and-play connectivity, the F.R.E.Q.TE uses universal 3.5mm connections to quickly connect to the sound card on either the tournament rig or the gamers’ home machine. No drivers or software are required resulting in minimal fuss. On ear controls have been positioned for speed and easy access, allowing gamers to adjust game and chat volume with speed. Tough enough to survive extended gaming sessions, the F.R.E.Q.TE provides the serious gamer with the audio clarity they need to stay ahead of the competition.
