Smart amplifier: more volume, less distortion
ZenBook Pro 14 uses powerful custom-designed speakers driven by smart-amplifier technology. This intelligently monitors voice coil movement to deliver 1.4x-louder volume with superb fidelity, while also minimizing distortion and preventing speaker damage. Special algorithms auto-detect the physical limits of the speaker components, allowing them to be driven at peak volumes without risk of damage. The result is low-distortion audio at volume levels that are simply not achievable using traditional amplifier technology.
