Astro A40 Wireless

The ASTRO A40 2011 Edition Audio System lets you game like a pro

more than ever before. As the official licensed headset of Major

League Gaming (MLG), the worlds largest professional video

game league and largest provider of cross platform online

videogame competition, for the past three seasons, the ASTRO team

listened to the pro players and added new features theyve been

asking for. Still sporting 40mm drivers tuned with ASTRO Audio, the

A40 2011 Edition will deliver every detail of your gaming, movie, or

music experience.

Engulf yourself in uncompressed voice and game sound - the A40

Wireless System includes the MixAmp 5.8 with game/voice

balance control and Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound (TOSlink optical

only), all packed into a compact wireless form factor. Operating at

the 5.8GHz frequency, the MixAmp 5.8 is all but immune to any

noise or interference from other wireless devices. The new

MixAmp 5.8 also features a Bass Expander mode which injects a

subtle subwoofer effect into the soundstage. With all of these

features the A40 Wireless System is the ultimate home audio

solution for gamers.

**The MixAmp 5.8 only accepts a digital TOSlink optical input for

game/home theater audio. Game Chat is handled by the included

Xbox Live Chat Cable for Xbox 360 or the OPTIONAL PS3 Chat Cable

for PS3 or PC.**

Features Include:

Amazing sound quality - Combining audiophile-grade sound and

crystal-clear voice communication, youll hear your enemies from

every direction. Give a read through our reviews or check out any

MLG event in person to hear for yourself.

Wireless 5.8Ghz Frequency Avoid the crowded 2.4GHz spectrum

(many game controllers, phones, wireless routers, operate at

2.4GHz) and rise above the noise with 5.8 GHz wireless technology.

New and Improved Microphone - When youre on the MLG main

stage with thousands of dollars on the line, you need your mic to

stay put to hear your teammates clearly while blocking out the

roaring crowds. The A40 2011 Edition features a new and improved

mic that picks up your voice flawlessly, filters out the cheering fans

and stays exactly where you place it.

Enhanced Audio and Comfort - Already boasting the most

comfortable ear cushions available in a gaming headset, we worked

with MLG pros to block more outside noise and deliver more bass

without losing the richly detailed positional audio the A40s are

known for.

Signature ASTRO Construction - The A40 has set the standard for

quality and performance since its introduction in 2008. The 2011

Edition continues this tradition with unsurpassed durability,

flexibility, adjustability and of course our exclusive Quick Disconnect

cabling system.

Fully Configurable Comfort and Style - ASTRO A40s are a fully

adjustable headset to fit any size user. The boom mic can be

positioned on either ear or removed entirely. ASTROs patent-

pending removable speaker tags allow you to game in style,

featuring an online Speaker Tag Customizer to design your own

unique look (sold separately).

Multi-Platform Solution - Like all ASTRO headsets, the A40 2011

Edition enriches your audio experience no matter what console you

game on or which audio devices you use. For the Xbox 360 or

PlayStation 3, simply pair your A40s with our wireless MixAmp

5.8 for a complete console solution (PS3 Chat Cable required for

voice chat on PS3 or PC). The A40 Headset is also perfect for your PC,

Mac, iPhone, Smartphone, iPad or anything else with a standard

headphone jack.

Sound and Voice Controls at Your Fingertips - The MixAmp 5.8

features discreet controls for game-to-voice balancing and master

volume control. Dial in your own settings to meet your needs.

Quick Disconnect (QD) Cable System - The A40 comes standard with

a mute switch and two QD cables; a 2M cable for console gameplay,

and a 2M PC cable with volume control, and a standard dual-jack PC

connector.
