ASUS JAPAN announced the ROG Gjallar Gaming Soundbar on September 18. The 2.1.2ch unit is Dolby Atmos compatible, pairing left and right full-range speakers and tweeters with a 6.5-inch 5GHz wireless subwoofer. It goes on sale September 25 at 95,980 yen. A wired control hub with an LCD handles volume, EQ, sources, and RGB lighting, and a built-in beamforming microphone supports voice chat.
The Gjallar carries upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos, so the soundstage extends above the listener as well as around them. ASUS describes the target use as enemy footsteps and sounds passing overhead, though the unit is also pitched for movies and streaming.
The 6.5-inch subwoofer links to the bar over low-latency 5GHz wireless, which cuts the cabling run to wherever the sub sits, at the user's feet or beside the desk. A wired hub with an LCD display covers volume, EQ, input switching, and RGB lighting, and it includes a beamforming microphone for voice chat.
