Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac and MMD Monitors & Displays, the leading display specialist and brand license partner for Philips monitors & IT accessories, have teamed up to equip Philips' first-ever gaming headset with Dirac's award-winning spatial audio solution. The breakthrough solution produces a virtualized 3D, 7.1 surround sound experience through the 2-channel headset to put users at the center of the action. The Philips TAGH401BL marks the first collaboration between the two tech innovators, and the headset is now available internationally.

"Dirac solutions breathe a new layer of life and detail into the gaming experience; sounds that were previously lost are now present and accurately placed around the gamer as if real-life," stated Lars Isaksson, Dirac VP of Headphone & Streaming Audio. "By collaborating on developing Philips new gaming headset, we're delivering their customers the realism and immersion that makes the difference between an ordinary and extraordinary gaming experience. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Philips Monitors to push the boundaries of gaming audio."
