design including "ground-isolation circuit
design","an independent audio power", and "a
built=on-board amplifier", with all these hardware
features gives you the best audio quality and
B

performance. As for software, we offer you a free

bundle utility "Multi-Channel Calibration" which
normally you'll find in high level sound systems;
this feature allows you to auto detect your
location; with a user friendly interface, you can
easily adjust the volume of every speakers to
make a well balanced surround sound. And of
course, the built-on-board amplifier always gives
you a super powerful sound comparing to other
motherboards.
 Blu-ray Audio
Upgrading your Audio performance in the easiest
way is choosing BIOSTAR ultimate Motherboard. It

headphones with over 100dB loads and offer wide
band-width, low noise, high slew rate and low
distortion audio source from front panel I/O.
Gaming enthusiasts can enjoy a fuller range of
dynamic sound with crisper details and less
distortion.
 Smart Ear
Smart EAR is a windows-based audio utility which
allows you to easily adjust system volume. With its
user-friendly GUI, you can also increase or
decrease impedance setting (Low/High Gain) to
optimize your headphone performance. You can
easily enjoy high-quality and awesome sound.

Hi-Fi Resistor
Metal-oxide film resistors are made of metal oxides
such as tin oxide. The electric characteristics are
greater stability and reliability than regular metal

AR
film resistors when operating in an extremely
broad working temperature range. This special
component is used in applications with high
endurance audio demands.

detailed content that fills the entire screen with
lifelike images. Connectivity with PCs via a single
HDMI cable for displaying 4K2K data.
 DVI
DVI is better than VGA for LCD displays since it is
digital while VGA is analog. For LCD displays, the
picture is digitized pixel per pixel. Through DVI, the
panel gets data for each pixel, so the picture
generated in the Graphics device matches the
pixels on the panel itself.

DX12
DirectX 12 introduces the next version of Direct3D,
the graphics API at the heart of DirectX. Direct3D
is one of the most critical pieces of a game or
