Yamaha introduces ZG01 Gaming Mixers: Limited-Edition Blend of Anime and Innovation

Yamaha, the audio equipment manufacturer, has just launched two limited-edition models of its ZG01 gaming mixer. Developed in collaboration with “NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a,” these new models are set to hit the US market soon, much to the delight of anime and gaming enthusiasts.

The ZG01 042 and ZG01 153 take inspiration from the “Pods” that accompany the main characters, 2B and 9S, in the widely acclaimed anime series. These limited-edition mixers not only retain all the features of the original ZG01 model, such as intuitive controls and immersive 3D surround sound, but also boast “NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a”-inspired designs throughout the device, packaging box, start guide, and ZG Controller application (compatible with Windows and Mac).

The ZG01 042 model flaunts a white-based color scheme that perfectly complements 2B, while the ZG01 153 model features a black-based color scheme that mirrors 9S. With their unique aesthetics and powerful audio mixing capabilities, these limited-edition gaming mixers are bound to elevate any gamer or game streamer’s command center to new heights.

Alex Sadeghian, the director of Consumer Audio at Yamaha Corporation of America, expressed excitement about the release, stating, “Fans of anime and gaming will be thrilled with these new limited-edition gaming mixers. They offer powerful audio mixing capabilities with an anime-inspired design that is sure to take any gamer or game streamer’s command center to the next level.”

As for pricing and availability, the ZG01 042 and ZG01 153 will be available this winter with a suggested retail price of $329.95. Gaming enthusiasts can sign up for notifications regarding availability by visiting Yamaha’s official website. Additionally, for those attending TwitchCon, the new models will be on display at the Yamaha booth #SW50 from today until October 22.

Let’s not forget to mention the impressive features of the ZG01 Gaming Mixer itself. This device provides gamers with an unparalleled audio experience by allowing them to customize game audio, their own voice, and the voice of their chat partner to suit their unique playback environment. With its intuitive controller and specialized audio effects for each, the ZG01 ensures an immersive and personalized gaming experience. Moreover, it offers top-notch audio quality for both chat partners and streaming audiences, thanks to its ViReal 3D technology. The mixer also features dedicated physical controls designed specifically for gameplay, voice chat, and game streaming, making audio management a breeze.

For those unfamiliar with “NieR:Automata Ver1.1a,” it is an anime adaptation of the popular action RPG game “NieR:Automata,” which has garnered worldwide acclaim since its release in 2017, shipping over 7.5 million units. Set in a post-apocalyptic world amidst a conflict between alien-created Machine Lifeforms and man-made androids, the anime has captivated audiences since its premiere in January 2023. After the broadcast of the first season’s final episode, it was announced that a second season is in the works, further adding to the excitement surrounding the franchise.
