Despite this, we are very impressed with the Razer Audio Mixer as it feels solid and planted, and all the switches, sliders, and buttons feel great.Īside from the solid powder-coated aluminum housing, our favorite aspect is the construction of the faders. However, given our relative inexperience with their streaming devices, we aren’t super sure of the overall quality. Their mice and keyboards usually stand up to some rough treatment, and their headsets aren’t so bad either. Razer’s history of build quality has been categorized as ‘pretty good’. Overall, this is one of the cleverest designs we’ve seen from Razer. The buttons are worth mentioning here too as they’ve been designed with a pleasant rubberized finish and are almost entirely silent This is ideal for streaming purposes as rapidly spamming them won’t irritate the audience or prevent them from hearing something more pertinent. The lights do a great job at indicating exactly where things are, whether you’re muted or not etc. The Razer Audio mixer might be the first time Razer’s implementation of RGB lighting has actually resulted in a tangible increase in user experience. We like RGB lighting here at WePC, It looks cool and provides ample opportunities for customization. This puts it head and shoulders above other audio mixers as they are purely utilitarian in design, with no thought given to the overall look of your streaming setup. With the rounded corners, ergonomically-angled top controls, and RGB lighting it certainly looks the part.

We absolutely love the look of the Razer Audio mixer here at WePC.

However, between the software, the paperwork, and the manuals for the devices you’re going to be using with the Razer Audio Mixer, you’ll be able to manage it with relative ease. Setup for the razer audio mixer begins simply, then takes a swift left turn when you remember that setting up a streaming device with a tonne of inputs/outputs is a particularly complex and sometimes loathsome experience. Ours arrived in mint condition but we would have liked to see more extensive packaging here. Instead, the safety of the ~$250 mixer is entrusted to a soft-touch padded drawstring bag. There is no high-density foam or magnetic clasps to be found here. However, the Razer Audio Mixer appears to be the exception to that baseless rule we made up. As for when this release will arrive, Microsoft only said it will roll it out “to everyone worldwide in May.” Select Xbox Live members in the US, Europe, and Canada will be getting these features this week (by invite only).We’ve mentioned before that the unboxing experience of Razer products usually scales with the price of the product in question. As you can see above, you’ll find a new “System update” option under Settings.

What’s also interesting about this update is that it will be the first one that Xbox One users will be able to grab as soon as it’s available, if they so chose. “This is completely optional and all voice data shared via this setting will be used for product improvement only,” Microsoft says. With features like this, it’s important to emphasize they are not mandatory. It will be located under Settings => Privacy & Online Safety => Customizing privacy and online safety => Share Voice Data => Allow. The more it has, the more it can input into its algorithms to improve the console’s responsiveness.Īs such, the update will add an opt-in setting to help make voice and speech improvements for Kinect via speech data collection.

Last but not least, Microsoft says it wants to improve the Xbox One’s voice commands by collecting voice samples. Both of these audio options will be available under the console’s Settings. You will also be able to control the volume levels when you’re using Kinect for chat, a feature that probably should have been there from the very start.
