ASUS ROG Carnyx Professional Cardioid Condenser Gaming Microphone White 25mm Capsule 192kHz/24-bit – C501 ROG CARNYX/WHT

Studio-Grade Audio Engineered for Creators

Make your voice the center of attention with the stunning Moonlight White ROG Carnyx. This professional-grade USB gaming microphone is crafted specifically for high-level streamers, podcasters, and competitive gamers who refuse to compromise on audio fidelity. At the core of the Carnyx lies a massive 25 mm studio-grade condenser capsule. Unlike the smaller sensors found in standard gaming mics, this expansive capsule drastically improves low-frequency response, capturing the deep, warm, and natural nuances of your voice to deliver a broadcasting-quality sound profile straight out of the box.

High-Resolution Fidelity with Precision Cardioid Pickup

Deliver lossless, incredibly detailed sound to your audience with a state-of-the-art 192 kHz / 24-bit sampling rate. This exceptionally high-resolution audio processing ensures that every dynamic shift and subtle inflection in your voice is reproduced perfectly without compression artifacts. Paired with a strict cardioid polar pattern, the Carnyx focuses entirely on the sound directly in front of the microphone. It actively rejects unwanted background noise from the sides and rear, making it the ultimate tool for solo streaming or recording in busy environments.

Pro-Level Noise Isolation and Hardware Filtering

Keep your stream free from distracting interruptions. The ROG Carnyx features an integrated high-pass filter that seamlessly eliminates muddy, low-frequency background noises below 80 Hz, such as computer hums or distant traffic. Sudden vocal plosives are neutralized before they hit the capsule thanks to a built-in multi-layer foam and mesh pop filter. Furthermore, the microphone is securely suspended in a premium all-metal shock mount using elastic cables. This isolates the microphone body entirely, preventing desk bumps, heavy keystrokes, and furious mouse clicks from ruining your recording.

Intuitive Real-Time Controls at Your Fingertips

Stay entirely focused on your game or your chat with accessible, professional-grade controls. The top of the Carnyx houses an ultra-sensitive, one-touch capacitive mute button. It activates silently—meaning no audible “click” is broadcasted when you mute—and a bright LED indicator turns red so you always know your broadcast status. A versatile multi-functional control knob allows you to seamlessly adjust the microphone’s input volume, dial in the exact volume of your zero-latency 3.5 mm monitoring headset, or instantly toggle the high-pass filter without ever opening a software menu.

Immersive Aesthetics with ASUS Aura Sync RGB

A microphone should look as professional as it sounds. The breathtaking Moonlight White aesthetic of the Carnyx is elevated by highly customizable ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting. Easily accessible through the Armoury Crate software, you can choose from six dynamic lighting presets or fully synchronize the microphone’s illumination with your entire ROG gaming ecosystem for a unified, striking camera presence. Armoury Crate also unlocks deeper personalization, allowing you to fine-tune EQ profiles and master your stream’s audio settings.
