Within the showcase are the ATH-G1 Premium Gaming Headset and the ATH-G1WL Premium Wireless Gaming Headset. “Hear The Win” loud and clear with the ATH-G1’s studio-quality sound. The headset’s strong, lightweight construction, and breathable headband pad and ear pads keep players comfortable, no matter how long they game. The attached 2.0m (6.6') cable (terminated with a gold-plated stereo mini-plug) includes a simple volume control and locking microphone mute switch for convenient, one-hand operation. The ATH-G1WL headset is designed for those who want to take full command of their computer gaming experiences.

Gaming Microphones

ATGM2 Detachable Boom Microphone Both the ATGM1-USB Gaming Desktop Microphone and the ATGM2 Detachable Boom Microphone are on display in our PAX East booth this year. The ATGM1-USB is the perfect tool for communicating online with fellow gamers, as well as for streaming and VoIP applications. The cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone provides high-quality directional pickup that can be easily positioned to capture the speaker’s voice. The ATGM2 lets you convert your favorite pair of headphones into a full-fledged headset for gaming, streaming, and VoIP use. The boom’s small base mounts permanently to the headphone housing, allowing you to install and remove the boom mic as you like. Both gaming microphones work to reject ambient noise and reduce breath noise, so your voice comes through loud and clear. AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone In addition to the above microphones, PAX East attendees will also be able to browse our selection of 20 Series microphones, as well as their bundles. Audio-Technica’s stringent quality and consistency standards set the AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone apart from other mics in its class, making it the standard for affordable side-address studio condensers. The versatile AT2050 Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone provides consistent, superior performance in switchable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight polar pattern settings. So, if you’re headed to the 2020 PAX East exhibit at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, make sure to stop by the A-T booth (#27011) and see all this great gear for yourself!
