DMAS UPDATE
Exciting news about DMAS. We completed the production tests and they were all successful. Further the audio testing results were just stunning. We have scheduled official production with no further changes to begin in only a couple of weeks. Our teams can’t wait to read customer feedback for the DMAS.
For those who are unaware the DMAS is our “ultimate audio” version of the audio subsystem for the Modular Audio Strap (MAS). The MAS allows you to change out almost all the parts, to customize your experience. So far we have released multiple face foams, 2 cowlings and with the DMAS 3 interchangeable audio options.
Backers’ Lighthouse 2.0 (Base Station) Shipments
All remaining shipments of base station 2.0’s in stand-alone packages (where other items are already shipped, if any) will be transported via our domestic carrier.
If you have not yet received your base station shipment tracking number and would like upgraded shipment service using a faster carrier please create a service ticket that notes your backer number and your wish for faster shipment.
Upgrading the carrier and the transport type to express will incur some additional shipment charges.
6M Optical Cable for 8KX Now Available!
Our new upgraded 8KX optical cable is now available. This cable adds some length to the original cable and is more flexible than the standard cable. An additional benefit is this cable reduces the 2 USB port requirement to only 1 connected to your PC!
You can pick up one of these upgraded cables from the Pimax Store for $119 here:
Sincerely,
Your Pimax Team
