Razer Unveils New Seiren Elite Microphone Designed for Streamers

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled a new addition to the Razer Broadcaster range of professional-grade streaming equipment, the Razer Seiren Elite microphone.

Razer Seiren Elite
The Razer Seiren Elite is a dynamic USB microphone packed with professional grade features to bring high quality audio to live streamers and YouTube broadcasters. The single capsule design, coupled with built-in filter and limiter gives a richer, warmer vocal tone previously only found through high-end broadcast equipment.
The Razer Seiren Elite features a single dynamic capsule and cardioid capture pattern for accurate wide frequency recording. The built-in high-pass filter removes unwanted low-frequency vibrations, such as fan noises or air conditioner hums. And when the excitement gets too much, a digital/analog vocal limiter will automatically adjust audio gains to prevent distortion and popping, keeping streams and recordings balanced and smooth.

"Most professional-grade microphones require additional recording equipment, like mixers and converters, that you need to get your sound onto your PC," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "The Razer Seiren Elite solves that problem, letting broadcasters focus on their content and letting the Seiren Elite handle their audio."

The Razer Seiren Elite simplifies the audio set-up process by being a simple plug and play operation, not requiring external mixers, amplifiers or signal converters. The Razer Seiren Elite is the latest addition to the Razer Broadcaster range, which includes the Razer Kiyo, a streaming camera with built-in ring light which was won the Tom's Guide Innovation award for peripherals and the Laptop Mag Editors' Choice in 2017 .

You're underestimating a streamers ability to clip a mic

"The Razer Seiren Elite is a dynamic USB microphone" Stopped reading here. Ultra low cost product sold for $200
Nowadays a reltively high quality condenser mic (excluding amplifier and ADC) costs less than $5. They probably added an ultra-low cost amp + ADC and USB controller. Put "Razer" logo and some LEDs on it and milennials are going to buy it no matter the price.

I am not an audio guy, but people are buying a lot of Blue Yeti mics, that at regular price are 120 pounds. ( lowest I have seen on Cyber Monday is 79 pounds). Can you point me to a very good mic that's about the same cost ? Because 5 bucks is obscenely low.

actually .... i would doubt highly Razer did any R&D on that mic ... just like the previous Seiren/Pro which was a overpriced Yeti Blue (man that was a pretty costy, read shitty, black and green paintjob and sticker...)

any of their own developed thru and thru product, outside their 1st mouses (Boomslang/Copperhead/Diamondhead), s*ck hamster balls but still retain the overprice versus the equivalence offered by a lot of concurrent around.


also ... i always get a good laugh when i see that sentence
"Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers"

as if .... as if .... :laugh:

(well any other news from other manufacturer has a 1st sentence that claim that they are "the leading" .... heck that make a lot of "leading" brand :roll: )

Anyone remotely interested in sound would suspect the frequency range of 20-20kHz with no dB tolerance mentioned. Sholuld I read that as a flat line from 20 to 20k? If it's true then AKG, Sennheiser, Shure and all other microphone manufacturers with tens of years in research and building of high quality microphones are out of business and Razer will replace them.
