ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Strix Magnus

USB condenser microphone for game
streamers features studio-grade recording quality, environmental-noise cancelation
and customizable Aura RGB lighting effects

Singapore (16th August, 2017) — ASUS Republic of Gamers
(ROG) today announced Strix Magnus, a USB condenser microphone designed for
game streamers and the first-ever ROG microphone. ROG Strix Magnus features
three condenser capsules and environmental-noise-cancelation (ENC) technology
for studio-grade recording quality — even in noisy gaming environments — and
customizable RGB lighting effects that let streamers create a captivating and
entertaining atmosphere while broadcasting.

Combined with a compact
form factor that stays out of the way in any gaming setup, intuitive controls
that provide quick and easy operation during intense action, and flexible
connectivity options, ROG Strix Magnus is a powerful tool that helps game
streamers deliver the highest quality, most entertaining content to their
audiences.

ROG Strix Magnus
features three 14mm studio-grade condenser capsules to capture voices and other
sounds with lifelike fidelity, enabling streamers to clearly convey their
emotion and excitement to their audience for engaging listening experiences.

Environmental-noise-cancellation
(ENC) technology lets streamers achieve studio-grade recording quality without
the need for expensive and bulky sound-absorption materials. A dedicated
microphone inside ROG Strix Magnus actively listens for environmental noise and
sends it to the three condenser capsules for instant analysis and elimination
of distracting noises — such as keyboard keystrokes, mouse clicks, and fan whir
— for exceptional recording quality.

ROG Strix Magnus also
features three recording modes — Cardioid, Stereo, and Environmental Noise
Cancelation (ENC) — that streamers can switch among to fit different recording
scenarios.

ROG Strix Magnus is the
world’s first gaming microphone with customizable RGB lighting effects.
ROG-exclusive Aura RGB lighting lets streamers choose from over 16.8 million
color combinations and four lighting effects to entertain their audience.
Additionally, support for Aura Sync technology enables streamers to synchronize
the lighting effects on ROG Strix Magnus with other Aura-enabled ROG products[1]
to create a unique and captivating streaming atmosphere.

Designed especially for
game streaming, ROG Strix Magnus has a compact form factor that is 50 percent
smaller than other popular gaming microphones, enabling it to fit directly
behind a keyboard without blocking the screen. This space-saving design is
based on extensive research of desktop environments and usage scenarios, and
eliminates the need for large stands or wall mounts. ROG Strix Magnus gets out
of the way so streamers can focus on their game or competition broadcast. Its
metallic, futuristic look is inspired by robotic themes and adds a touch of
cool style to any gaming or streaming setup.

The buttons and
controls on ROG Strix Magnus are thoughtfully positioned for quick and easy
operation while streaming. Additional microphone controls — like sensitivity
and recording mode — are conveniently and intuitively grouped together,
enabling precise audio adjustments even during intense action.

ROG Strix Magnus offers
convenient connectivity with a USB 2.0 port and an auxiliary port. The
auxiliary is particularly handy for musicians, allowing them to connect an
instrument and record or stream live music with pristine, distortion-free sound
quality. ROG Strix Magnus also comes with a carrying pouch for easy portability
and protection against accidental drops and impacts.
