Product information:
Gamers often face noisy conditions that drown out voices during online multiplayer gaming. This creates lack of clarity and confusion within squads, leading to lower win ratios. Exclusive ROG Command technology offers the world's first design to specifically bring noise cancellation to a gaming soundcard set, as designed by the Xonar team. Intelligent sound detection algorithms and array microphones (two on the dedicated control box) enable up to 50% ambient noise reduction, effectively turning loud locations such as LAN parties into something as quiet as a lab. The technology works equally well whether using an external microphone or the microphones embedded into the ROG Xonar Phoebus control box. Gamers benefit from being able to communicate and coordinate with team members clearly and with greater precision, adding to enjoyment and win ratios.
Finest components and design for superior sound
ROG Xonar Phoebus utilizes a stylish and effective EMI shield and ASUS exclusive Hyper Grounding technology to ensure reduced electromagnetic interference. Based on the experience of Xonar professionals, Hyper Grounding technology brings ASUS motherboard expertise to audio products with a multi-layer PCB that helps block noise from nearby components and the power supply to render more lifelike and extra clear sound. The PCM1796 digital-to-analog converter on ROG Xonar Phoebus delivers clear and crisp 118 dB SNR high fidelity audio. The new soundcard's SNR profile therefore outperforms competing gaming audio products by a factor of four, and onboard audio by an impressive 32 times. It excels in total harmonic distortion (THD) performance, with a miniscule 0.00039% of sound output experiencing distortion.
Power for headphone users
Since many gamers choose headphones to refrain from disturbing others while insisting on the best sound quality and privacy, ROG and Xonar teams integrated the top-flight TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier on ROG Xonar Phoebus, driving up to 600 ohm impedance for genuinely impactful headphone output.
Dedicated control box
Clad in the trademark ROG red and black color scheme, the ROG Xonar Phoebus control box offers gamers improved response and convenience. Connected to the card via the back I/O, the control box can be placed on the desk so it remains within easy reach. Gamers can then adjust volume and mute quickly without bringing up game or operating system menus, or having to hunt around for display remote controls. The control box further offers microphone and headphone connectors, making connections easier.
The latest audio technologies
ROG Xonar Phoebus includes one-click activation of Dolby Home Theater V4, helping enhance audio through complete compatibility with new sound processing technologies. The latest standard offers greatly improved surround, with smart sound enhancement and a more user-friendly approach to high end audio. The exclusive ASUS GX 3.0 game audio engine has also been integrated, offering EAX compatibility to ensure boosted game sound, a wider range of simultaneous sound effects, and overall clearer sonic performance in every PC game.
Product crossover benefits consumers
ROG Xonar Phoebus presents the first soundcard set from ROG, the ASUS division entirely devoted to gaming as a lifestyle and branch of pioneering technology. This launch coincides with ROG's fifth anniversary, and delivers the results of cooperation between ROG gaming philosophy and innovative Xonar PC audio experts. As such, ROG Xonar Phoebus offers gamers enhanced sound custom-tailored to improving in-game experiences.

Beta Drivers Fix Bf3 issues
Upgraded to this soundcard from a Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 PCI-E Sound Card WOW what can I say this Phoebus sounds out of this world.
Beta drivers also fix BF3 crash problems so what you waiting for go hit that buy button.
Beta Drivers Fix Bf3 issues
I have just bought this card and first off wow what a card, anyone who tells me onboard is the same quality as a deadicated soundcard has not heard one of these.
Secondly I have sli and bf3 and have found no issues at all with this card when running the latest beta drivers.
5 out of 5
Xonar Phoebus
its one of the best cards for gaming.
If your running sli and using 16x slots beware you may have issues with BF3.
Asus are aware of probs and are fixing it but as of yet no fix ready. Compared to the Creative HD Platinum the Phoebus is still the best if not for the game freezes, sound loop backs and pops hopefully drivers will fix this or maybe a newer version. As always OC support provided great support and fast delivery
Quality Soundcard
Got this ordered on 17th at 11am, arrived the next day at 11:15am - excellent service again Overclockers, thanks!
Had time to have a good look at this quality ROG gaming product having moved on from Creative's Fatal1ity, no worries/regrets whatsoever!
Crystal clear sound, excellent support for a variety of cans (mine's the Sennheiser PC350 @150ohms). Multichannel analog surround sound for gaming/movies is much better and accurate than Creative's in my opinion, you can also use S/PDIF optical adapter for home theatre. This soundcard will look great in any case!
