Everything You Need to Know About Shadow’s Power Upgrade Roll Out in Sweden and Denmark — Beginning Now!

October 26, 2022

New Configuration Pushes Better Performance and is Now Available For All Customers Who Preordered; Limited Quantities Available Today on the SHADOW Store

Paris, France – October 26, 2022  – In May 2022, cloud-computing company SHADOW detailed its renewed strategic vision via the first ever Shadow Spotlight keynote, positioning itself as the definitive cloud platform for gamers, creatives, and businesses. Today, it’s time to deliver on the promises made to the community, as SHADOW launches a new cloud gaming configuration with the Shadow Power Upgrade; here’s everything you need to know about the latest addition to SHADOW’s cloud-computing technology suite, the Shadow Power Upgrade enables SHADOW to disseminate access to a powerful PC to as many people as possible, via the cloud, without users needing to purchase a new physical device.

The new Power Upgrade will feature a full PC including:

   •  An AMD EPYC™ 7543P CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads
   •  The power of a high-end GPU, with a NVIDIA RTX™ A4500 (a NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3070-class card designed for professionals)
   •  16GB of RAM
   •  Embedded 1Gbps fiber connection

While the Power Upgrade features the NVIDIA RTX™ A4500 at launch, different GPUs from SHADOW partners NVIDIA and AMD will be implemented over time.
.
The Power Upgrade is available for $14.99 per month, in addition to the $29.99 base monthly Shadow subscription fee. Users can also add extra storage options, easily upgradable up to 5 TB.

If you’re not one of the lucky first Power Upgrade users, don’t worry: it’s still available in limited quantities! And remember: additional Power Upgrade slots will be deployed in November and continuously on a regular basis. Users will be updated via email and through Shadow’s social media channels, so stay tuned!

The launch of the Power Upgrade is just the tip of the Iceberg

The release of the Power Upgrade is a major moment for the company, but that’s not all SHADOW is working on.

Additionally, these regions will all benefit from the Power Upgrade starting on October 26th. Spain joins #TeamShadow in the coming weeks.
.
Behind the scenes, two complete migrations are currently in the process of finalizing: the back-end infrastructure is being migrated to a new in-house technology platform (the Core Business Platform), for more security, more features, and a completely revised customer interface. In the meantime, SHADOW is physically migrating all its global servers to the OVHcloud infrastructures. This move promises a more power efficient and environmentally responsible process. 
.
“It has been 4 years since we last proposed a new configuration due to component shortages and other issues. The release of the Power Update is the symbol of the new chapter SHADOW is entering: we want to offer new products, new features and meet all the expectations of our customers. Most of all, we delivered what we announced back in May,” said Eric Sèle, CEO of SHADOW. “We are particularly proud and excited about it all and can’t wait for customers to tell us what they think about the Power Upgrade.”
.
“I’m proud of all the work the teams at SHADOW have achieved. So much has happened since we joined the project! SHADOW is moving forward and what we are delivering here is just the beginning of everything we aim to accomplish. Can’t wait for what’s coming next!”, added Octave Klaba, Shadow’s Chairman.

GLOBAL GAMING AUDIO LEADER TURTLE BEACH LAUNCHES INTO PC GAMING WITH THREE ALL-NEW ATLAS GAMING HEADSETS – NOW AVAILABLE AT NORDIC RETAIL

October 1, 2018

Turtle Beach’s New Atlas Line is Built for PC Gamers, Featuring Three Models, including the Pro-Level Elite Atlas, the Powerful Amplified Atlas Three, and the Versatile Atlas One

The Nordics – Oct. 1, 2018 – Leading gaming headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: HEAR) officially enters the PC gaming headset market with today’s announcement that the company’s all-new Atlas line of headsets built for PC is now available at participating retailers worldwide. Designed in collaboration with leading esports teams, including Astralis, OpTic Gaming, and the Houston Outlaws, Turtle Beach’s Atlas line features three different models, including the Elite Atlas Pro Performance PC Gaming Headset, the powerful Atlas Three Amplified PC Gaming Headset, and the versatile Atlas One PC Gaming Headset. Each Atlas headset offers PC gamers an innovative set of features and functionality. Read below for full details of each Atlas PC gaming headset.

“We worked with some of the best pro gamers in the world to make sure our new Atlas line delivers PC gamers the superior audio performance and comfort Turtle Beach is known for,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “Turtle Beach’s success is rooted in our ability to innovate and offer a broad portfolio of products designed for all types of gamers, from professional competitive esports athletes to those just getting into gaming, and that’s what we’re now bringing to the PC market with our Atlas headsets. We knew we needed more than just a single offering, so we built the Atlas lineup to cater to the various types of PC gamers out there – whether they’re shopping based on specific features or budget.”

Stark continued, “The Elite Atlas is built for pro players, aspiring pros, and hardcore gamers. The Atlas Three offers PC gamers an option with amplified audio and is based on our best-selling Stealth 600 headset design. And the Atlas One is a great everyday PC gaming headset that delivers premium sound, comfort, and multiplatform compatibility at a great price.”

 When designing the new Atlas line, Turtle Beach worked closely with top esports teams to fully understand the needs of elite esports athletes, and to ensure the Atlas headsets deliver on PC gamers’ expectations. After all, esports teams know a thing or two about what it takes to perform at the highest levels of play, whether practicing or competing on the tournament stage. In fact, Astralis just won the FACEIT London 2018 CS:GO Major Championship that took place on Sept. 23, 2018, with a follow-up performance as the winner of the CS:GO Blast Pro Series Istanbul tournament which took place this past weekend.

“In Counter-Strike, sound and communication are essential. There is no room for mistakes, and being able to recognize the sound of footsteps, weapon type, and other audio details just a millisecond before your opponent makes a huge difference,” said Peter ‘dupreeh’ Rasmussen. “If you want to be the best, you want your equipment to be second to none – the difference between a good and a great headset can be the difference between winning and losing a grand final. So, it’s been very rewarding working with the team at Turtle Beach to help them ensure the Atlas headsets provide top-tier audio performance for all PC gamers.”

MASTER & DYNAMIC BRINGS ELEVATED DESIGN AND MATERIALS TO A NEW CATEGORY WITH THE MW07 TRUE WIRELESS EARPHONES

September 13, 2018

Debuting for the first time ever handcrafted acetate and stainless steel, the MW07 True Wireless Earphones demonstrate unparalleled sound quality and design

Since launching in 2014, New York City-based premium audio company Master & Dynamic has focused on offering the most beautifully appointed, sonically sophisticated audio products on the market. Today, Master & Dynamic proudly redefines the rapidly expanding true wireless earphone sector with the release of the MW07 True Wireless Earphones. Available in four initial colorways, Tortoiseshell, Steel Blue, Grey Terrazzo, and Matte Black, each pair of MW07’s is accompanied by an elegant stainless steel charging case. Featuring premium materials such as handcrafted acetate and stainless steel as well as 10mm Beryllium drivers, the MW07 demonstrates that high tech can also be high design. Two patent-pending technologies ensure best-in-class Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity, superior comfort and personalized fit. This is all accomplished in a slim, close to the ear form factor. 

As with all Master & Dynamic products, the materials for the MW07 have been carefully curated. Handcrafted acetate, created through time-honored craftsmanship dating back to the 1800s and widely used in luxury sunglasses and eyewear, allows each individual earphone to be uniquely eye-catching, lightweight and incredibly durable. PVD-coated stainless steel is used for both the acoustic enclosures housing dynamic 10mm beryllium drivers to produce Master & Dynamic’s signature sound, as well as the control buttons on each earphone that provide a sleek user interface.

Custom 10mm beryllium drivers, a metal traditionally used only in hi-fi products, provide exceptional acoustics and deliver a rich, warm, expansive sound. Optical sensors detect in-ear placement so that the sound is both played and paused when the earphones are placed in and removed from the user’s ears. An innovative, detachable silicone “fit wing,” which comes in two sizes, along with five ear tip sizes, ensure the earphones can be comfortably and securely fitted to any ear. Placing the MW07 in the ear is remarkably easy, simply requiring a one-gesture placement from case to ear.

 “Our goal is to offer the best of both superior sound and sophisticated design to our customers,” said Master & Dynamic’s Founder and CEO Jonathan Levine. “With the launch of the MW07, we’ve not only improved the user experience, but we’ve selected premium materials to take true wireless earphones into uncharted territory.” 

To further blend form and function, the MW07 True Wireless Earphones are also at the forefront of mobility, providing up to 14 hours of on-the-go listening. The earphones themselves hold 3.5 hours of battery life when fully charged, while the elegant hand-polished stainless-steel charging case holds an additional 10.5 hours of listening time and can be charged to 50% in just 15-minutes via USB-C cable, making the MW07 the ultimate travel and communication tool.
