ASUS ROG CLAVIS USB-C TO 3.5MM

Unlock a premium audio experience The pocket-sized ROG Clavis USB digital-to-analog converter delivers a host of features to give any compatible headset a big upgrade. Its ESS 9281 QUAD DAC™ with a built-in amplifier and Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) rendering technology treats you to hi-fi-grade audio, while AI noise-canceling technology enhances headset microphones for crystal-clear voice communication. ROG Clavis is made out of aluminum and features ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting for a premium look. It includes a USB-C®-to-3.5 mm jack and a bundled USB 2.0 adapter to ensure compatibility with most headphones and a host of devices. ESS 9281 QUAD DAC™ The ESS 9281 DAC features QUAD DAC™ technology to provide lossless audio processing. Each of its four DACs devotes processing power to a subset of the audible frequency range, across lows, mids, highs to ultra-highs. The four signals are then combined to produce clearer sound with an impressive 130 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and an integrated amplifier supports up to 300 ohms of impedance. Hear every detail and enjoy crisp, clear sound for a true-to-life audio experience with ROG Clavis. Built in MQA Renderer Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is an award-winning audio technology that delivers studio-quality sound and reveals every detail of the original recording. MQA rendering technology in ROG Clavis can connect to an MQA core signal – including those from global streaming service apps such as TIDAL – and complete the final "unfolding" of an MQA music file to provide incredible audio quality. Exclusive Hyper-Grounding Technology ROG-exclusive Hyper-Grounding technology utilizes a multi-layer PCB and a special layout design to prevent electromagnetic interference, resulting in pure, noise-free audio. AI Noise-Canceling Technology ROG Clavis uses AI to enhance headset communication. It detects sounds and compares them to those received from your headset microphone, and processes them to reduce over 500 million types of background noise while preserving vocal harmonics. This ensures that your voice comes across loud and clear — even in noisy environments. Maximized Performance ROG Clavis works with any 4-pole 3.5 mm headset that includes a microphone. For best results, pair your laptop with headphones featuring a unidirectional microphone. For best results, use headphones with a unidirectional mic. Broad compatibility ROG Clavis has a USB-C® connector for compatibility with PCs, mobile phones and gaming consoles. For additional flexibility, it also includes a USB 2.0 adapter. ASUS Aura Sync RGB Lighting Customizable Aura Sync RGB lighting offers over 16.8 million color combinations plus preset lighting effects. Premium Aluminum Housing ROG Clavis delivers a premium feel with its 100% aluminum housing that’s finished with a distinctive ROG aesthetic. Armoury Crate Armoury Crate software offers extensive controls and an intuitive UI that makes it easy to tune ROG Clavis USB DAC. Take full control of your audio experience, turn on the AI noise-canceling microphone or MQA, engage 7.1 virtual surround, use the equalizer (EQ) to make adjustments, apply 7.1-speaker level-balancing, and easily create and apply audio profiles for different game types, such as first-person shooters and racing. ROG Clavis delivers immersive sound quality in any scenario.
