San Diego – November 12, 2015 – Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (“Mad Catz”) (NYSE MKT/TSX: MCZ) announced today the TRITTON™ Katana™ HD 7.1 Wireless Headset, a revolutionary new gaming headset and the world’s first to draw its audio signal directly through HDMI to deliver eight channels of uncompressed sound for pure high definition audio quality. With near-universal compatibility across today’s gaming consoles, PCs and smart devices, the Katana HD features state-of-the-art DTS Headphone:X™ audio technology that faithfully recreates the spatially accurate immersive sound experience from your favorite game. Whether your enemies are flanking or surrounding, you will hear them before you see them. Headphone:X technology allows gamers to immerse themselves in games, movies and music, as if they were actually there.

Designed as the new flagship in the TRITTON high performance gaming audio range, the Katana HD provides gamers with unparalleled audio immersion via oversized 50 mm drivers and crystal clear interference-free chat through an omnidirectional boom mic. Featuring Selectable Voice Monitoring (SVM), the removable and adjustable mic is designed to pick up only the designated audio sources and either delete or enhance the gamer’s voice. Fully wireless chat is a reality on Katana HD if playing on PS4™, PS3™, or PC, and when playing on Xbox One, a pass-through port is ready to accept the included 3.5mm to 3.5mm chat cable.
