A cutting audio equipment gaming who does not lack anything
ASUS has provided the ROG Gjallar with everything necessary to make the experience premium. For example, the lowest frequencies are entrusted to a subwoofer external wireless equipped with a 6.5-inch cone and a power delivery of 65 watts. A crucial detail is that the subwoofer Links to the bar via the 5 GHz band. This is essential to ensure low latency and prevent both nodes from becoming out of sync.
Additionally, instead of integrating the controls into the body of the bar, the system includes a tabletop control center with an LCD screen. From it you can manage practically everything. For example, it includes various equalization profiles, volume control and selection of input sources.
This module also integrates several microphones equipped with echo cancellation and AI-powered directional capture algorithms. Directional filtering voice processing suppresses noise from computer fans and prevents microphones from drowning out speakers. Ideal for not having to use an additional microphone. With this ROG Gjallar, ASUS covers all needs at once.

Support for signal pass-through at 120 FPS is complemented by USB-C ports, Toslink optical input, 3.5 mm auxiliary analog connection and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity.
