The #1 Premium Gaming Audio Brand Unveils its New Immersive Gaming Speaker Line Through Next-Level Creative
DENVER, Co. – MARCH 9, 2023 – Catalyst, a renowned marketing agency that consistently challenges traditional methodology and approaches, today announced the launch of its partnership with SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture. The two brands teamed up earlier this year to collaborate on SteelSeries’ highly anticipated global launch and go-to-market strategy for an all-new category — the Arena Speaker Systems.
Now available to the public and already touting “Best Speakers” awards from the likes of Popular Mechanics, CNET, IGN, and ZDNet, the Arena 3, Arena 7, and Arena 9 speaker systems combine hardware and software solutions to allow for total immersion within any game.
SteelSeries’ latest creation establishes yet another series of firsts with the Arena line, including a gaming speaker system with true surround sound from a single USB connection, along with the ability to tune every individual frequency through the Sonar Audio Software Suite, which features the world’s first pro-grade parametric EQ designed specifically for gamers.
“What SteelSeries created is so much more than a premium speaker line. Arena transports gamers into a whole new world, encouraging them to dream with their eyes open,” explained Catalyst’s Executive Creative Director Carlos Musquez. “We were able to tell that story in an extremely powerful and unique way through our work together.”
In addition to the global product launch, Catalyst created video, digital, CGI, and original music composition components to position SteelSeries as the go-to for gamers needing to level up their overall experience online.
“Catalyst helped us illustrate the technical aspects of our speaker line so people could visualize the invisible,” said Kathryn Martinez, Chief Marketing Officer at SteelSeries. “They brought the Arena franchise to life through different mediums to show the world how this speaker line enhances the gaming experience in an all-new way.”
The Arena line of speakers has been acoustically engineered and designed with premium organic fiber and silk drivers to create an extremely accurate in-game soundscape — the way developers intended for immersive titles like Cyberpunk, Red Dead Redemption II, God of War, Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, Destiny 2, and a variety of other games.
The Arena 3, Arena 7, and Arena 9 are available at SteelSeries.com and at retailers around the world.
