  • HDMI 2.1 with eARC supports up to 4K@120Hz pass-through, while USB-C, optical, AUX and Bluetooth 5.3 let the soundbar switch across PC, Mac, mobile and major consoles.
  • Built-in AEC microphones and AI beamforming are designed to cut speaker bleed, fan noise and system hum, with an LCD control hub handling EQ, playback, input selection and RGB lighting.
  • Gear Link tools on web and mobile add software tuning for EQ, microphones and lighting, as ASUS positions the compact unit as an all-in-one audio hub for multi-device gaming setups.
