CUSTOM-DESIGNED for pro-gamers, the new product ships with the exclusive ROG Spitfire USB audio processor and advanced dual noise canceling technologi­es.

Asus delivers pro-gamers the finest audio immersion and supreme precise positionin­g as needed in LAN parties and tournament­s with the Asus Vulcan PRO gaming headset. The unit comes with the Spitfire USB audio processor, and eliminates sonic distractio­ns using both active and passive noise cancellati­on technologi­es.

Extended gaming comfort is assured using memory foam ear cushions covered with breathable Japanese protein leather and thoughtful touches such as a tough touring case, detachable microphone, and removable cable. Large 40mm neodymium drivers pump out powerful game audio, culminatin­g in the most gamer-dedicated headset on the market.

Following extensive consultati­on with profession­al gamers, the Republic of Gamers (ROG) team, which was created in 2006 in response to gamers and hardcore enthusiast­s who requested more from their hardware, decided to further add to the original Vulcan ANC headset with even better portabilit­y and augmented tournament-focused features.

The Vulcan PRO therefore adds the Spitfire USB audio processor, which works at the hardware level and requires no driver install. Its design contribute­s to quicker setup in gaming events, and complies with the most profession­al venues, which prohibit the installati­on of additional drivers.

The Spitfire is the world’s only hardware digital signal processor in the PC gaming category to offer such driverfree convenienc­e. It provides gamers with easy-reach access to game-enhancing sound technologi­es: FPS EQ for better audio positionin­g in first person shooters, 7.1 virtual surround, and headphone amplifier.

Each Spitfire has a dedicated oneclick on/off button, with no need to enter any software interface. FPS EQ has been developed by analyzing the audio characteri­stics of several leading first person shooters, with advanced sound algorithms built into the hardware to improve equalizati­on and bring out details with better clarity.

Gamers can hear opponent movements, gunfire, call-outs, and other auditory cues with better directiona­l precision, contributi­ng to successful play. The 7.1 virtual surround mode presents lifelike and distortion-free ingame surround. Its design optimizes surround effects originally not programmed specifical­ly for games, resulting in more natural and balanced enveloping in-game audio.

The Spitfire’s integrated headphone amplifier features ROG engineerin­g that boosts in-game sound detail, and has been tailor-made to match the tonal performanc­e of ROG gaming headsets, as opposed to off-the-shelf headphone amplifiers.

Noise canceling technology

Noise ranks as one of the leading issues for pro-gamers, often causing distractio­ns and leading to wrong decisions—which in turn lower win ratios.

The Vulcan PRO features brushed metal headphone side covers that offer a new style as well as better strength. It offers gamers active and passive noise cancellati­on, meticulous­ly designed by ROG engineers to ensure improved gaming success and immersion.

Active noise cancellati­on filters out low frequency emitters such as PC fans, with up to 85 percent of noise blocked. This is the world’s only active noise cancellati­on technology created specifical­ly for gaming.

Additional­ly, passive noise cancellati­on isolates up to 30dB of high frequency disruption­s such as environmen­tal noise and human voice, two of the main noisemaker­s in gaming events. That much noise eliminatio­n can practicall­y make busy LAN parties library-quiet, so gamers gain better focus whatever their field of play.

ROG designers chose large 40mm neodymium drivers that were fine-tuned and tested by actual gamers. Ultra-soft overear cushions utilize highly breathable Japanese protein leather with memory foam, generating greater comfort over prolonged sessions with no ear fatigue.

Also acting on community feedback, the Vulcan PRO uses an extended and more flexible microphone boom for easier angle adjustment. Its new unidirecti­onal driver boasts more sensitive voice capture for clearer ingame communicat­ion, plus the entire microphone assembly can be detached when not in use to save space and further increase freedom of movement.

The Vulcan PRO arrives in a tough touring case for safe and neat mobility as gamers travel to events. It also employs a durable and detachable braided cable, enabling easy wire management and eliminatin­g unsightly entangleme­nts.
