Calling Player One

GNW30 has two mics to capture your speech. AI processing isolates your voice from background sound – so teammates can hear you clearly. There’s a mute button, if you need to escape into the real world. The blue lights turn red, to confirm you’re safe. The addition of Bluetooth® to GNW30’s arsenal, brings smartphones into play.

Light Up to Pump Up

When gaming, teal blue LEDs on either side of the GNW30 speaker, and transmitter, confirm you’re ready for action. If you need to mute your voice, the lights turn red to confirm you’re off-line. You can even choose stealth mode and turn the lights off all together.
