SteelSeries Unveils Alias Series Mics Powered by Sonar for Streamers

SteelSeries, the worldwide leader in gaming and esports peripherals, today unveiled its newest franchise and the first microphone solution that's been purposely built for gamers. With over 20 years of design and engineering expertise dedicated to solving problems for gamers and making every gaming session glorious, the #1 premium gaming audio brand introduces Alias microphones powered by Sonar for Streamers. Now "Gamers Finally Have a Voice."

When gamers stream, they get animated, move around their gaming setups and battlestations, shout with unbridled excitement and enthusiasm, narrate gameplay, and tell stories with style and personality. The current offering of microphones on the market does not address these needs and doesn't allow users to be dynamic, while Alias microphones allow for the freedom and true range that gamers seek. Others have introduced microphone solutions that are 4-in-1, but they are a master of none.

Steelseries Introduces Alias Gaming Microphones

It's a historic day for SteelSeries, as we pave our way into a new gaming peripheral category. Join us. The days of off-the-shelf generic mics rebranded for gaming are done. It's finally here: a microphone fully dedicated to gaming and streaming. The dedication we have for our audience inspired us to create a product that pushes content creators and streamers—an ever-increasing portion of gaming enthusiasts—to even greater heights. Sound is an integral element of connecting with your viewers, and no matter how good your stream layout looks, bad audio will short-circuit your engagement.

It's time to examine your current setup. The reasons to switch to Alias are many, but we sure have a big one: we believe bigger is better. With a 1" premium capsule that's 3x bigger than competitors', your voice is captured with more fidelity, and it gives you the positioning freedom you need to express yourself. Alias is powered by Sonar: your all-in-1 sound studio for controlling all aspects of livestream audio production. Multiple apps multiply the mess and creates points of failure. With Sonar you get a single app that helps you easily mix and route the sound of your apps and personalize the sound of your mic with ClearCast AI noise cancellation and a powerful 10-band equalizer. No more hiding that pretty face behind the mic. The deep, rich vocals is but one reason to go with Alias. Let's dive in.

SteelSeries Announces Rapid Trigger - a New Feature for Apex Pro Keyboards

Our firmware engineers never cease to find ways to improve our keyboards. Every single Apex Pro keyboard receives a major upgrade. SteelSeries is at the forefront of innovative gaming keyboards that elevate your skills even further. Go beyond what you think you can do with the fastest keyboard in the world. We are thrilled to announce a new feature called Rapid Trigger that is bound to shift the odds in your favor ever more.

What is Rapid Trigger?
Most switches have a set actuation point—that is, when a key is depressed, a point where it will activate. How deep you need to press it depends on your settings. As long as you keep your finger on that key, it will keep inputting it, as long as it is below the actuation point, let's say 2 mm. If your finger lifts the key above that threshold, the switch will "reset" and release the keypress. You can see this in action if you press a key down fully and lightly bounce your finger up and down. If you are still pressing it within the actuation point, it will continue inputting whatever you pressed, even though you lifted your finger a bit. Rapid Trigger takes this to the next level.

SteelSeries Launches the Arctis Nova Pro-series of Headsets

SteelSeries has released a pair of new headsets that builds on its well known Arctis-series, but brings with it a much more modern and premium looking design. Besides the overhaul of the design, SteelSeries has added support for 360 degree spatial audio and the company has also updated its GameDac, which is built around the ESS Sabre 9218PQ40 Quad-DAC. Other new features include an "AI-powered" noise cancelling microphone and a new headband design that's meant to be more comfortable. The wired Arctis Nova Pro comes in a PC and Xbox version, both sporting multi-system connect with dual USB inputs, although 3.5 mm jack input is also supported. A nice touch is that the ear pads are attached with magnets and should as such be easy to replace.

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless on the other hand comes in three different versions, with a dedicated Xbox and Playstation version, as well as a PC version. Here, SteelSeries has also added active noise cancelling, which is not a feature you find on many gaming headsets. The ANC is using a 4 microphone hybrid system and has support for transparency mode. SteelSeries has replaced the GameDac with a wireless base station for the three wireless versions, which also charges the batteries, as SteelSeries has gone for user swappable battery packs. A 15 minute charge gives you three hours of usage, and a fully charged battery is good for up to 44 hours. Interestingly there's also an eight second power buffer, which allows you to hot swap the batteries, if you're fast. The wireless side of things consists of a proprietary low latency 2.4 GHz radio, as often is the case for wireless gaming headsets, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 support. There's support for simultaneous use of both wireless standards, which is a nice touch and something we've seen from a couple of SteelSeries competitors. The Arctis Nova Pro has an MSRP of US$249.99, with the wireless version costing US$349.99.
