Exclusive ROG Command technology for clean, seamless in-game communication Gamers often face noisy conditions that drown out voices during online multiplayer gaming. This creates lack of clarity & confusion within squads, leading to lower win ratios. Exclusive ROG Command technology offers the worlds first design to specifically bring noise cancellation to a gaming soundcard set, as designed by the Xonar team. Intelligent sound detection algorithms & array microphones (two on the dedicated control box) enable up to 50% ambient noise reduction, effectively turning loud locations such as LAN parties into something as quiet as a lab. The technology works equally well whether using an external microphone or the microphones embedded into the ROG Xonar Phoebus control box. Gamers benefit from being able to communicate & coordinate with team members clearly & with greater precision, adding to enjoyment & win ratios. Finest components & design for superior sound ROG Xonar Phoebus utilizes a stylish & effective EMI shield & ASUS exclusive Hyper Grounding technology to ensure reduced electromagnetic interference. Based on the experience of Xonar professionals, Hyper Grounding technology brings ASUS motherboard expertise to audio products with a multi-layer PCB that helps block noise from nearby components & the power supply to render more lifelike & extra clear sound. The PCM1796 digital-to-analog converter on ROG Xonar Phoebus delivers clear & crisp 118 d B SNR high fidelity audio. The new soundcards SNR profile therefore outperforms competing gaming audio products by a factor of four, & onboard audio by an impressive 32 times. It excels in total harmonic distortion (THD) performance, with a miniscule 0.00039% of sound output experiencing distortion. Power for headphone users Since many gamers choose headphones to refrain from disturbing others while insisting on the best sound quality & privacy, ROG & Xonar teams integrated the top-flight TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier on ROG Xonar Phoebus, driving up to 600 ohm impedance for genuinely impactful headphone output.
