ASUS Xonar SE 5.1 PCIe Gaming Sound Card

The ASUS Xonar SE delivers professional-grade audio performance for gaming enthusiasts and multimedia users. This PCIe sound card features 192kHz/24-bit hi-res audio output with 5.1-channel surround sound, providing 32-times greater clarity than standard onboard audio solutions with its impressive 116dB signal-to-noise ratio.

High-Fidelity Audio Performance

Built around the C-Media USB2.0 6620A High-Definition Sound Processor, the Xonar SE supports sample rates up to 192kHz at 24-bit resolution for both playback and recording. The card's 116dB SNR output ensures crystal-clear audio reproduction with minimal distortion, while the 110dB input SNR captures every detail during recording sessions.

Integrated 300Ohm Headphone Amplifier

The built-in 300ohm headphone amplifier drives high-impedance headphones with ease, delivering detailed, immersive sound with punchy, defined bass. This dedicated amp circuit ensures optimal performance for gaming headsets and audiophile-grade headphones alike, revealing subtle audio details that standard onboard solutions miss.

ASUS Hyper Grounding Technology

Exclusive Hyper Grounding PCB fabrication provides superior signal insulation, effectively reducing electromagnetic interference and component crosstalk. This proprietary technology minimizes audio distortion and ensures clean signal paths throughout the card, maintaining audio integrity even in electrically noisy PC environments.

Comprehensive Connectivity

The Xonar SE offers versatile I/O options including three 3.5mm analog outputs for 5.1-channel speaker configurations (front, side, and rear), one combo line-in/mic-in jack, and an optical S/PDIF output for digital connections. A front-panel header enables convenient access to audio ports from your case's front panel.

Xonar Audio Center Software

Full control over your audio experience comes via the intuitive Xonar Audio Center software. Adjust equalization settings, balance 5.1-speaker levels, and configure audio parameters through a user-friendly interface. The software includes ASIO 2.2 driver support for professional audio applications requiring low-latency performance.

Compact Design with Flexibility

The half-height form factor makes the Xonar SE compatible with both standard and compact PC builds. An included low-profile bracket enables installation in mini chassis and slim desktop cases. Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certification ensures seamless compatibility with Windows 10 and straightforward driver installation.
