Retail customers are not agreeing to be beta testers out of the box. Just because you're selling the hardware and not the software directly doesn't give you a free pass to release buggy products.
I really like it. It's awesome that it brings the 2 ground loop things. The noise problem tends to happen when you have everything connected on the same outlet and especially when you connect console audio to PC in that case. (I had to connect through controller output and then keep it wireless.) It's expensive, though. Thanks for reviewing it. I was hoping you'd do it when I saw it announced the other day.
It is basically a DI box for mini jack, which is nice. Professional audio equipment such as audio interfaces don't provide these and tend to transfer unwanted noise in most cases
It looks cool, but they need to drop that price. The GoXLR Mini is the same (or cheaper) price then Razer's option so hopefully they put it on sale soon.
$250 is a big no for me. It's a cool device, but in the streaming mixer market I just think the Wave XLR is the best route to go. You don't get the faders(which I got to a point where I rarely touched them on my GoXLR), but you save $100 and get an insanely robust software
Im actually trying to decide between either Wave XLR, GoXLR mini, or this --- YOu'd say Wave Link is the best software of all? (I would be using a USB mic for starters)
Huge missed opportunity. They could've easily added some additional features to make it a compelling alternative over the goxlr mini. Instead they just cloned it, likely with lower quality internal hardware, and jacked up the price..
It looks cool, and i would see this in my set up, but it's kinda sad that it doesn't have macOS support, my setup have a Mac in it and i would want that mixer when i want to record audio on my Mac sometimes
If TC Helicon or competitors made one of these with proper speaker outputs too, I'd buy one. But apparently it's too hard to add 2 1/4" jacks to all of these devices. Frustrating.
Nice that there is an alternative to the Mini, even though they could've obviously done a LITTLE more than basically just copying it feature for feature. Software can be nice, but also annoying.
Razor did well with most of it...except for the the price. They should of priced it around $200 or less like Frank said. Though me personally i think the GoXlr is little bit better. But i am bias since i have a goxlr mini so yeah.
I have this and I installed the firmware, updated it, and I've done everything to set it up besides having an XLR microphone. I choose "Razer audio mixer" in the pc settings for system and mic, and I have no sound. Do you have any advice?
Biggest leg up this will have is a dedicated support staff hired by Razer over TCHelicon and their process of delegating GoXLR troubleshooting to volunteers that populate their Discord
never had a problem with TC's support on their discord. took them like 5min to reply with a full fix for my issues. If anything razer is gonna use a ticket system thatll take them a week to get back to you.
Is the software required for the basic features of the device, splitting the channels like VoiceMeeter? Or does the mixer have on-board memory for those things?
The Go XLR and go XLR mini are plagued with audio cut out issues and a bunch of other driver issues and on top of that they fired their entire driver team so those devices are obsolete and on their way out in almost every way possible please don't recommend them I'm going through hell right now and I'm probably going to land on the razer as my best option and that's after trying $500+ mixers
I know it was mostly a joke, but I rather prefer those rubber keys for something audio related. I don't need a clunky mechanical switch on my audio gear that'll make unnecessary noise when the rubber style buttons work fine (as long as there is a somewhat tactile bump to them).
How do you use a type c port to use a good mic on a console. I’m genuinely interested because my mic on my Xbox is bad but I don’t mind the headphone quality
The only time I could see someone paying over maybe, $130 for this is someone who just doesn't know much about audio equipment. You're paying for the razer name tag and rgb gamer aesthetic bullshit
How do you select what headphones to use though. do you have to plug into the mixer to hear your sources? I was planing on buying the whireless kraken v3 pros
if its anything like it's other usb equipment e.g. mics, don't buy it. it'll work for a while then the lack of good software will become apparent as your shit begins to malfunction (if it still works 8 weeks in)
Hey frank! big fan, this is a little random but would you be willing to do a roundup or tier list of the best gaming controllers that you can use for PC gaming.

Did anybody feel like they needed to play Tony Hawk in the beginning? I just kept expecting to hear the sounds from changing options in the menu. It's a cool device, but it's still more expensive than the goxlr mini. Hard to justify paying the extra for the new kid on the block in this area.
Razer Audio Mixer gain range is from -12 dB to +39.7 dB. However Shure SM7b needs a pre amp with gain of 60 dB. So how does this mixer power the mic efficiently when it doesn't meet the requirements?
Hi, ehm so the past few months I've been getting static sound and audio cuts whenever I have multiple sound on like a game, chat and music. It used to be fine but as soon as I have more than 2 audio sources on it does that. So would a mixer work or is it just better to get a new pair of headphones?
I think Razer needs to improve their warranty game & product quality before coming out with more -crap- I've had enough bad experiences with their warranty that I've said screw it and moved to Corsair, only 1 corsair product had issues and warranty was a breeze, I can't warn enough people STAY AWAY FROM RAZER, its OVERPRICED (as this video points out) junk... Razer has fallen over the years and will continue to fall.
Honestly can razer just make something original like seriously the g502 great mouse with a ton a flaws by todays standards razer copied it the g pro wireless they copied (I know the shape is different but the features are still the same) the man o war headphones which were just kraken headphones built like the astro a50s and now this ripoff like I get it we need competition in the market so one company doesn't rule it but there is a line IMO where you're challenging the market or giving people the same product with a different name. And I know razer can be original just look at there chair deathadder and kraken headphones some of the most unique sets of equipment out there. I'll give razer credit for there good stuff and there bad stuff but I can't stand it when people just sell me another persons product with there name on it. Its my same issue with glorious and there mice. if anyone finds flaws with what I just said I am willing to have a respectful chat about it but if you're just a razer fanboy that'll just say my opinion is wrong for no reason just go away.
i can just use obs and a v8 soundcard or k1 sound card and thats around 20 to 30 usd. are portable with rechargable internal battery, can connect to phones as well for mobile streamers , razer seems to lately be trying to take adavtange of gamers that dont know much about streaming to be setting a cost like this for a soundcard. ah, but maybe the razer connects to its synapse or whatever its called for led control. maybe thats where the value is at, and most people will not be indepthly controlling their audios as much as this would, this tool could be beneficial for someone that would use it to its potential daily, but i stream daily and contracted by multiple apps, i would not buy this. 20 and 30 dollar sounds cards also come with a micorphone and also have many buttons for a built in soundboard that has different sound effects, you better get atleast 7 times more advantages for paying about 10 times the price for razers product. and thats me comparing this razer product to the cheapest of soundcards. im sure you can find much better products at an inbetween cost.
How is it functional with wireless headsets and USB mics? Wireless headset is what I use to hear my guests and use a USB mic to speak to my guests during a podcast. Seems like mixers in general require everything to be plugged into directly into the mixer device. Thank you.
This is a joke, they copied the GoXLR but bumped the price up for some reason. On top of that, I'm not a Razer fan at all but this doesn't respect the company image, it looks cheap af.
I am a razer fan boy, however I cannot defend their audio line. At best is has been consumer grade like the kraken at worse you get whatever the hell this is (software sucks mostly)
its overpriced, unless youre actually going to be indepthly tuning your voice as if youre a professional singer, its pointless as a streamer let alone a game streamer, youre better off with a k1 or a v8 model sound card. 20 to 30 bucks , is rechargable, does not require a pc, and comes with a mic, this audio mixer doesnt even come with a mic and is 10 times higher than a k1 or a v8, and the k1/v8 also comes with many buttons for on board sound effects.
I will never consider this because it uses synapse. Even if its the best product in the world, nothing will make me use synapse that gaebage shit software..
One thing I've yet to find is WHO makes the preamp inside. I don't care what the interface has if I don't even know the quality of the preamp inside it. GoXLR mini is cheaper, has high quality preamps that make using a dynamic mic easy, and it's just a great interface. For $250, this just isn't it. From reading reviews this seems to be a 50/50 flop no flop.
goxlr being cheaper, having midas preamps and being able to drive 250ohm DT990s means the razer mixer has no reason to cost this much. Theyre charging this much because its an ecosystem product and honestly that doesnt help razer since synapse is a steaming pile of garbage...
Razer brand upcharge is an L, if this was like 149.99 it would be an absolute banger. Even 199.99 would be decent. For 250 though, you can do much better
Anecdotally, no. As soon as I load up a game with a 250ohm, all audio just stops working. Have to restart synapse and re-plug mixer to get it running back up only for it to cut out again after a few minutes.
I’m not sure if the go xlr mini is not compatible with macs I don’t have a mac at the moment. I know the go xlr mini has no mac software so not one really does this better than the other one.
I know this is using XLR from the mic, but if the sound is going through USB to your PC, does it have that annoying split second delay when you use effects? Or is this real-time like a true XLR/phono input?

Hello, could I connect: 1 gaming headset (mic + headphone), stereo powered speakers, a separate XLR microphone, and some IEMs all at the same time?
even go XLR is coming from a whell know brand from semi-pro and pro industries
So I like your speakers, looked them up and there unavailable. Do you have any other suggestions?
Never buy audio equipment from the people who make keyboards
so how can i connect my yeti nano since its a usb connector?
The system requirements state aswell you need MS Windows 10
Im very late but just want to know if you can use a usb mic on it?
yea really see no reason to buy this over the goxlr mini, especially with it being more expensive
Just looked it up. $249.99 What is Razer smoking. I would think twice before spending 129.99 on this, imagine $249.99 ...
Watched an old vid and compared. Your voice sounds cleaner here.
I like it but I rather would have seen an OLED display and not a fix CH1
I know this is using XLR from the mic, but if the sound is going through USB to your PC, does it have that annoying split second delay when you use effects? Or is this real-time like a true XLR/phono input?
