what is going on guys today we're going to be unboxing and doing a quick audio test of this new microphone by asus a republic of gamers this is called the Strix Magnus Magnus that's a pretty weird name for a microphone especially a gaming microphone as it says here but yeah it looks pretty cool it's it's smaller so I guess that's a plus and it also has and it's also got the mandatory gaming RGB lighting all over the place which as I say is mandatory nowadays so without any further ado let's get into the box and take a look at the Strix Magnus the box is a very high quality and looks very nice as as usual with ASUS here are some of its features we're gonna take a look at those later alright we've got ourselves first edition manual I don't know yeah a big nice manual of high quality I love this great oh and we got a hard carrying case I think and in the box we got ourselves to the VIP member warranty notice and I guess nothing else yep this is what you get in the box now I mean this microphone is not cheap I think it's around $200 so yeah you kind of expect these these premium things alright and there is the Magnus let's take a look the microphone itself it's it's pretty wide and it is made out of metal because it's very cold here we got ourselves a very nice and very long braided USB cable I appreciate that always it's got a pretty weird end I think that's for the microphone isn't it yeah it's for the microphone alright and lastly we got ourselves a adapter I believe so that you can can mount the microphone on a special stand for microphone stands if you would like to go more professional with it so let's take a look at the microphone itself a little bit closer and then we will end the video with a sound test so it's wrapped up in plastic let's try to remove that so I guess this is the front side because here you got all of your controls you've got the audio the volume for the audio you've got a mute switch a lights mode setting maybe and this is the USB port that connects to your PC you later with the weird port that we saw earlier and on the side here you have got you to a switch for the different modes the most above one being cardio cardioid the middle one being stereo and the last one being the electronic noise cancellation feature here is the gain for the microphone itself so that's basically the volume here is a USB hub so you do have an extra port I don't know for what but yeah and here is the aux-in if you would like to transfer the audio from your PC through this and then out here so that you can both hear your PC sound and your own voice connected to the aux port here so without any further ado let's get into the audio test of the ROG Strix Magnus and before we do that we're of course gonna have to connect the Magnus to the PC and see if there are any special setup needs of this microphone or if it's just plug and play which I hope it is so let's take this weird end I guess you connect it right here - like that perfect let's place it like this and then connect it to our PC we do have a light down below here okay and we've got some lights great it's it's flashing I don't know what that but it's flashing on windows obsessed the the device is ready for use so let's just open up the the audio settings and let's just fix the settings here so we're gonna use the cardioid mode because that is the the one you're supposed to use for voiceovers we're not muted of course it lights up if it's new too and now we are switched to the ROG Strix Magnus microphone I am about one feet away from it let me know in the comment section down below how this sounds and I will see you guys in the next video peace
