PRESS RELEASE
Weertzen, 07 June 2013 - The gaming industry will be descending on Cologne from 21 to 25 August for the gamescom trade fair. Through SPEEDLINK, Jöllenbeck will also be represented at the world's biggest trade fair for interactive games and entertainment - with an even bigger stand than last year. After all, it will be unveiling the long-awaited next generation of a legend, the famous MEDUSA headset - an event many gaming fans are already waiting for in eager anticipation. Gaming enthusiasts can also look forward for the first time to SPEEDLINK's initial range of gaming keyboards and new gaming mice.
The German company SPEEDLINK will be showcasing itself on a stand that's 50 percent bigger than last year's one. Its presence has been expanded mainly because of the launch of new products in the PC Core Gaming segment which will get their first public unveiling at gamescom. "Last year really showed, plainly and simply, that our presence there is definitely justified. The feedback from many visitors was overwhelmingly positive and we've got several highlights in store for this year's gamescom", says Carsten Blaschnig, Marketing Director at SPEEDLINK. The company's vast expertise in the areas of audio/sound and input devices has been transferred to expanding the gaming portfolio. Following the highly successful KUDOS RS Gaming Mouse, the XEOX Gamepad, the XANTHOS Gaming Headset and the REPUTE Gaming Mousepad, SPEEDLINK are now releasing their first range of gaming keyboards. "After last year's gamescom, we decided to strengthen our gaming product portfolio. This is why SPEEDLINK is launching two gaming keyboards for the first time to offer an end-to-end and, above all, coherent range", says Carsten Blaschnig.
The new generation of MEDUSA headset
This year's highlight will definitely be the new generation of the famous MEDUSA headset. Not much will be revealed yet about the new MEDUSA model which is highly popular among gamers, but thanks to its eight integrated drivers it will sparkle with first-rate 5.1 surround sound just like its predecessors. The top model in the new MEDUSA range will also boast a Dolby Pro Logic function - delivering the ultimate audio experience for the user. The sound experience has been further intensified and improved across all new-generation models thanks to many technical refinements. In particular, the new MEDUSA has been completely redesigned to ensure it remains comfortable even when worn for long gaming sessions. "A new Desktop Remote has also been integrated into the new MEDUSA generation - but there'll be further information on that at gamescom. It's definitely worth visiting", promises Carsten Blaschnig.
