Soundcard and Headphone
Amplifier
Compact USB-powered device provides 7.1-channel surround and high definition 192 kHz/24-bit sound for desktops and notebooks
ASUS announced the compact Xonar U7
USB external soundcard and headphone amplifier, which offers powerful and clear
114dB SNR audio with USB convenience. It incorporates a headphone amplifier,
Dolby® Home Theater v4 support, plus dedicated microphone and volume controls.
Xonar U7 serves the needs of PC gamers
who want to enjoy strong and clear sound via headphones, and is also ideal for
listening to music as it produces much more impactful and detailed audio than
onboard hardware. Connecting via USB, it requires no standalone power supply
and works instantly setup-free with no need to open the PC case.
About the launch of the Asus Xonar U7, Mr. Vinay Shetty – Country Head –
Component Business, ASUS (India) said, “The ASUS Xonar U7 USB soundcard
incorporates a headphone amplifier, Dolby® Home Theater v4 and
7.1-channel support and is the perfect solution for people who are not
satisfied with the onboard audio on their laptops or desktops. The soundcard
is well suited for PC gamers and audiophiles and offers up to 16 time more audio clarity compared with the
SNR ratios of average onboard audio. It also comes at a very attractive
price point and offers an unbeatable price to performance ratio in its
segment.”
Powerful sound from a compact and portable device
While other USB audio devices leave
out hardware features in order to maintain a small form factor and are
typically only capable of 5.1-channel surround due to limited power supply,
Xonar U7 engineering overcomes these constraints to offer strong and immersive
7.1-channel performance. The signal to noise ratio, or SNR, stands at 114dB
thanks to meticulous hardware design and component selection. Xonar U7 produces
clear audio, driven by the high quality Cirrus Logic® CS4398 DAC (digital to
analog converter).
Exclusive ASUS Hyper Grounding PCB
fabrication ensures strong signal insulation to reduce distortion and
interference, also known as component crosstalk.
Gaming audio advantage and music enjoyment
The integrated headphone amplifier
allows customers to make the most of premium gaming headsets, exceeding the
often flat and underpowered performance offered by onboard audio. With stronger
headphone performance plus precise and pronounced sound positioning, players
can hear opponents and game effects and events clearly. New Dolby® Home Theater
v4 provides immersive surround and enhanced in-game voice quality. These
contribute to more rewarding and realistic gaming experiences.
User-friendly design
Xonar U7 connects to PCs via USB. It
also gets power directly from the USB port, removing the need for a power
adapter. Combined with its compact dimensions, these turn Xonar U7 into a
highly portable audio-enhancer that can be easily carried and placed anywhere.
Dedicated controls allow gamers to quickly adjust master and microphone volume
without pausing games or going into software menus, ensuring uninterrupted
action. The master volume controls double as a clickable switch for selecting
between headphone input (front panel) and speakers (back panel).
