General Features
Compact & Portable
Xonar U7 MKII engineering helps overcome the space and power supply limitations of other external USB-based audio devices to offer 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)
Greater audio clarity compared with the SNR ratios of average onboard audio units.
Hyper Grounding Technology
ASUS Hyper Grounding PCB fabrication helps ensure strong signal insulation to reduce distortion and interference, also known as component crosstalk.
Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)
A Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC (digital-to-analog converter) brings clarity with a good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and low total harmonic distortion (THD).
Integrated Headphone Amplifier Pumps Up Sound Details
Xonar teams have integrated a headphone amplifier on the U7 to boost immersive headphone output.
Dedicated Headphone and Mic Volume Controls
Dedicated headphone and microphone volume controls enable audio level adjustments without the need to pause your game or navigate software menus, helping to ensure uninterrupted gaming and media streaming experiences.
Switch Between Headphone and Speaker Outputs
The headphone volume control knob doubles as a clickable output selector for switching between listening with headphones and speakers.
Plug-and-Play USB Convenience
With its USB design, the Xonar U7 MKII upgrades your PC's audio performance simply by plugging it in. It draws power directly from the USB port, thus eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. Its compact design fits almost anywhere and is easily portable, so you can bring it with your laptop and enjoy improved audio while on-the-go.
Sonic Studio
The Xonar U7 MKII features the Sonic Studio software suite for control over sound technologies from equalization (EQ) to 7.1-speaker level-balancing. Sonic Studio has a single navigation page that puts everything in front of you, with an intuitive point-and-click interface that allows you to pre-set audio profiles to suit different audio requirements.
Sonic Radar Pro
Fire up your favorite game and Sonic Radar Pro displays a 'radar' HUD (heads-up display) that pinpoints in-game actions relative to your position, so you'll know where you are on the battlefield and what's happening around you.
