Quad-speaker array: true surround sound
The powerful and unique quad-speaker array employs state-of-the art technologies — including beamforming and crosstalk cancellation — to give you true directional audio that envelops you in surround sound with cinema-quality realism. Tuned by the ASUS Golden Ear team, the special speaker array accurately positions sounds for a richer and more convincing surround-sound experience.
Five-magnet speaker design
The two bass drivers in ZenBook 3 feature a new five-magnet construction that uses extremely dense and powerful magnets. The high magnetic flux density of these magnets ensures a louder bass response, with significantly lower distortion than traditional speaker designs.
