What RIG Gaming does

RIG Gaming designs, produces, and sells gaming audio headsets and accessories built for competitive play and everyday gaming use. The product portfolio spans entry-level wired headsets (300 PRO, 400 GEN 2) through premium wireless models (600 PRO, 700 PRO, 800 PRO, 900 MAX), modular graphene-driver lines (R5 PRO, R5 MAX HD, R8 SPECTRE PRO), PlayStation-licensed earbuds (200 Series), USB streaming microphones (M100, M2 PRO HD), and accessories (MA-1 boom arm, SNAP+LOCK mod components). Core technical differentiators include proprietary GrapheneQ drivers developed with ORA delivering sub-0.3% THD, a magnetic SNAP+LOCK modular accessory system with publicly available 3D-print files, dual 2.4GHz + Bluetooth wireless architectures, and the Navigator mobile application for EQ and power management across iOS and Android.

RIG operates as a wholly-owned brand within NACON S.A., a French company (Auchy-les-Mines, France) spun out of BIGBEN Group in 2019 and publicly listed on Euronext Paris. The company's stated heritage exceeds 20 years in gaming audio. RIG earns revenue primarily through hardware sales across an MSRP range of $29.99 to $249.99, plus licensing royalties from official PlayStation (Sony) and Xbox (Microsoft) console agreements that allow branded shelf placement and integration with native spatial audio stacks (Sony Tempest 3D AudioTech, Dolby Atmos on Xbox). Distribution combines owned e-commerce (shopnacon.us), major third-party retail (Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy), and console-native sales (Sony Direct); support operations exist for the US, Canada, and Mexico.

RIG serves gaming consumers (primary persona across console and PC), esports professionals (via COMMANDER PRO and the PWR partnership), streamers and content creators (via the M-series microphones), and a scholastic segment supported through the RIG Future Academy Scholarship. GTM combines channel partners with event-driven marketing anchored on the PWR esports sponsorship and content collaborations with creator Lachlan.
