ASUS ROG introduced its first dedicated gaming speaker system, the Gjallar, on July 9, 2024. This launch fills a gap in the company's peripheral lineup by offering a unified audio solution for PC gamers. The system aims to deliver immersive soundscapes that match the spatial demands of modern gaming titles.
ASUS ROG enters the dedicated gaming audio market with a multi-channel soundbar and wireless subwoofer
The Gjallar operates as a 2.1.2 channel audio configuration. It utilizes Dolby Atmos technology to create a three-dimensional sound field. The soundbar component houses tweeters and full-range drivers that project audio both forward and upward toward the ceiling.
Specifications
- Audio Configuration: 2.1.2 channels
- Audio Technology: Dolby Atmos
- Subwoofer: 6.5-inch, 65W
- Subwoofer Connectivity: 5GHz wireless
- Inputs: Toslink, AUX, USB-C, Bluetooth, HDMI eARC
A 6.5-inch subwoofer provides low-frequency impact with 65 watts of power. This subwoofer connects to the main unit via a 5GHz wireless link to minimize latency. The main soundbar accepts inputs through Toslink, AUX, USB-C, and Bluetooth.
The system includes an HDMI port with eARC support for high-quality audio return from TVs. An integrated audio console features dual acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) microphones. These microphones help manage voice chat clarity during multiplayer sessions.
We track this release as part of ASUS ROG's broader strategy to expand its hardware ecosystem. The Gjallar represents the brand's entry into the dedicated gaming speaker market. This product completes the audio setup for users who previously relied on headphones or separate soundbars.
