ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has officially introduced the ROG Carnyx, a high-performance cardioid USB microphone designed for professional-grade audio capture. Boasting a 25 mm condenser capsule and a remarkable 24-bit / 192 kHz sampling rate, the Carnyx promises to deliver natural and immersive sound quality for gamers, streamers, and content creators alike. Endorsed by professional Valorant player and streamer Sam “s0m” Oh, this microphone is poised to elevate your streaming and recording experiences to new heights.
Enhanced Sound Quality
The ROG Carnyx distinguishes itself from standard microphones with its larger 25 mm condenser capsule, which enhances low-frequency performance and delivers warm, natural vocal tones. With a high 24-bit / 192 kHz sampling rate, users can expect unparalleled fidelity, capturing every subtle nuance of their voice. Its cardioid polar pattern minimizes background noise pickup, making it ideal for solo content creators seeking pristine audio clarity.
Impeccable Recording Clarity
Featuring a studio-grade high-pass filter, the Carnyx effectively eliminates unwanted low-frequency background noise below 80 Hz, ensuring clean and uninterrupted recordings. An integrated pop filter composed of foam and mesh layers prevents plosives for clear and articulate vocal reproduction. Moreover, its robust all-metal shock mount with elastic suspension cables minimizes external vibrations, guaranteeing professional-grade audio performance.
Intuitive Control and Customization
The Carnyx simplifies mic management with a one-touch mute button and a multi-functional control knob, offering seamless adjustment of microphone settings and multimedia volume. Real-time monitoring is facilitated through a 3.5 mm headset jack, with volume control conveniently integrated into the control knob. ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting adds a touch of personalization, offering six preset lighting effects and synchronization with other Aura Sync-enabled devices for a cohesive aesthetic.
Unmatched Flexibility and Compatibility
Equipped with ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting, the Carnyx allows users to customize lighting effects via the Armoury Crate app, creating a visually stunning streaming or gaming setup. Armoury Crate also provides additional customization options, including EQ profiles and RGB lighting adjustments. The Carnyx includes a bundled USB cable for immediate connectivity to laptops or PCs, and its built-in mount adapter ensures compatibility with most mic stands or boom arms.
Availability and Pricing
The ASUS ROG Carnyx will be available in Singapore, with the black model launching in mid-March 2024 and the white model following in early May 2024, both priced at $299.
