True Audio

Hear everything
"Hear music the way the artist wants you to hear it."

This is a common refrain to describe audio equipment. Instead, the NU Audio card simplifies the matter - hear audio as it is.

Lifelike Gaming

The right gear for the game.

Engineered by Audio Note means a lower measured and perceived noise floor to improve enemy detection, and precise enemy location due to improved transient and phase response. The NU Audio Card is NOW powered by nahimic with 3D Audio for Gamers, featuring virtual surround to enhance positioning, smart volume to limit volume fluctuation, and ambient noise suppression to play with confidence knowing that you will be heard clearly-in game.

Studio and Audiophile Grade

Finely-tuned fun.

Enjoy movies, produce music, record podcast, or simply experience great audio. Hear all the subtle sounds, emotional dialog, and powerful explosions to keep you on the edge of your seat without the need to browse through confusing menus. With recording performance up to 384kHz, 32bit, you can speak the way you want to be heard. After all, only you should sound like you.

Ambient RGB Lighting

The NU Audio Card enhances the relationship to music and mood. Change the 10-Mode RGB to match your favorite color, or use any of the four Audio Reactive Lighting options to let your audio set the tone and color of the NU Audio Card lighting. Alternatively, simply turn the RGB off if you'd prefer to keep things dark.

A completely different gaming and multimedia experience

High-quality audio is built on a simple premise: everything must be solid from start to finish. One weak link in the chain can turn a symphony into a cacophony. The NU Audio card features a high-performance digital section with Native DSD support and a clean, powerful analog section. This audio quality carries over to other applications, such as gaming, where the ability to clearly identify the difference between ambient environment noise and a stealthy enemy can be the difference between life or death.
