Cinematic Visual & Audiophile Sound
If you have ever tried to watch a Blu-ray movie on your PC or notebook only to be disappointed by poor audio and lackluster visuals, ASUS Impresario SBW-S1 PRO is the perfect solution for you.
ASUS Impresario SBW-S1 PRO is the world's first Blu-ray writer with a built-in sound card that provides 7.1-channel audio output and functions as a 600 ohm headphone amplifier.
Immersive 7.1-channel audio
True 7.1-Channel Audio
Regular notebooks only support 2-channel stereo sound, but ASUS Impresario SBW-S1 PRO functions as an external sound card with true 7.1-channel output to bring incredibly immersive entertainment experiences to your PC in one easy step.
Virtual Surround Sound
A dedicated digital signal processor (DSP) enables ASUS Impresario SBW-S1 PRO to deliver a full surround sound experience using only stereo speakers or headphones.
600 ohm Headphone Amplifier
ASUS Impresario SBW-S1 PRO has a built-in 600 ohm headphone amplifier that reveals an incredible level of detail in music and movies, and enhances high and low frequencies for rich, dynamic sound that far surpasses audio from a notebook alone.

Silent Playback
Four specially designed dampers at the corners of the optical disc drive mount reduce vibration and noise by up to 8dB. Even at maximum speed, the drive's noise level is only 36.3dB(A) — approximately the same noise level as a library. ASUS Impresario SBW-S1 PRO even lowers the speed of the drive when playing commercial music CDs or DVD/Blu-ray movies to further decrease noise.
