Gain the gaming edge with Sonic Radar Pro!

Modern games are more than graphics – precise audio positioning gives gamers a distinct edge over enemies. That's why Strix Raid DLX includes Sonic Radar Pro, an ASUS exclusive technology that visualizes and enhances in-game sounds, giving you a vital edge in first-person shooters.

Fire up your favorite game and Sonic Radar Pro displays a ‘radar' HUD (heads-up display) that pinpoints in-game actions relative to your position, so you'll know exactly where you are on the battlefield and what's happening around you!

Multiple radar-enhancers can be enabled in order to visualize and boost specific sounds such as footsteps, gunshots, and call-outs. Sounds are plotted on the 360-degree HUD, even when there's no clear line of sight, so invisibility is no barrier to pinpointing opponents, giving you a distinct advantage over other players!

What's more, Sonic Radar's on-screen appearance and position is completely customizable, so you can make it work just the way you want, with whatever game you want!

124dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for extraordinary audio clarity

High-fidelity grade ES9016S DAC delivers unrivalled, jitter-free sound and an exceptional 124dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for 64 times greater clarity than average onboard audio.

Sound detail boost with 600ohm integrated headphone amplifier

The powerful TI LME49600 headphone amp lets you experience the full potential of your gaming headset. A 600ohm headphone amplifier provides enhanced bass and clear, detailed sound.

Hyper Grounding Technology

Noise-blocking multi-layer PCB developed with decades of ASUS professional layout expertise.

Unleash your gaming instincts

Taken from the ancient Roman and Greek word for owl, Strix means the keenest hearing and sharpest eyesight. Strix means feeling your environment so that you detect and react to the slightest movement. Strix means survival on the very edge of instinct. Strix is in your blood, as it is in ours.
