Razer dropped their answer to the GoXLR Mini...the Razer Audio Mixer! It has XLR and phantom power, 4 channel sliders, 6 dedicated buttons and ton of flexibility in the software. But, big BUT, is it worth it?

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.

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?

@i8m 2 жыл бұрын

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..

@misled_who9413 2 жыл бұрын

As A non-streamer who wanted to use XLR and replace a DAC this is a good tool. It was easy to setup has enough customization and doesn't need any third party software. I originally have use the GSX1000 for headphones before. I gave the Elgato Wave a chance because it was $150 but, sound quality with just the stock system was not what I wanted. The software was not good for me. So I gave this a try and I can safely say that it does everything I need. As a streaming tool I believe its good enough not perfect. For a average user and maybe a Vocal recorder and Podcaster it should get the job done. This is for someone that does not want to spend hours getting a tool like this set up. The price sucks, but the it should drop soon.

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.
