Compact and Portable Device
Xonar U7 engineering overcomes the space and power supply limitations of external USB-based audio devices to offer precise and immersive 7.1-channel surround. Sound processing uses 192 kHz/24-bit fidelity for high definition output, maintaining consistent quality across all surround channels.
114 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
Up to 16 times the audio clarity compared with the SNR ratios of average onboard audio.
Hyper Grounding Technology
The Hyper Grounding PCB fabrication ensures strong signal insulation to reduce distortion and interference, also known as component crosstalk.
Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)
The Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) brings clarity with better Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Integrated Headphone Amplifier Pumps up Every Sound Detail
Xonar U7 integrates a headphone amplifier to boost immersive headphone output.
Microphone and Master Volume Controls
Dedicated controls allow gamers to adjust master and microphone volume, without pausing games or going into software menus. The master volume control doubles as a clickable switch for selecting between headphone input (front panel) and speakers (back panel).
