DOLBY ATMOS
ROG and Dolby® have partnered to bring superior gaming audio quality to users. Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which enables immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below and around the listener.

SupremeFX
ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix Z890-A implementation features the ALC4080 codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.

A specially designed circuit separation reduces electromagnetic interference from the motherboard and attached devices for cleaner audio.

The integrated Hi-Fi Savitech amplifier holds up its end of the signal path with imperceptible levels of distortion at -90dB THD+N and a signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB for extremely clean output.

Instead of the conventional high definition audio (HDA) interface, the ALC4080 codec uses a USB interface to deliver studio-level sound reaching up to 32-bit 384 kHz audio resolution.

A metal cover protects against electromagnetic interference, preserving the integrity of audio signals to ensure the best sound quality.

High-quality components produce a warmer, more natural sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.

UNDENIABLY ROG STRIX
The ROG Strix Z890-A features a sleek white surface for a contemporary and stylish appearance that fits effortlessly into most system builds. Metallic heatsinks complement the clean design, while subtle Polymo lighting on the I/O shroud lets you choose between a refined, minimalist look or a vibrant, eye-catching display.

OUTSHINE THE COMPETITION
ROG Strix motherboards feature ASUS Aura technology, enabling full lighting control and a variety of presets for both onboard RGB LEDs and third-party accessories. Effects can be easily synced across compatible ROG graphics cards, monitors, keyboards, and mice to give your setup a unified look.

Dare to Be Green
We at the Republic of Gamers are on a mission to create a sustainable future where all gamers can flourish on the planet we call home.
