Razer is one of the world's top gaming peripherals brands and one of the first companies to sponsor professional gamers, which is why the company has gained a huge influence and is extremely popular among gamers. In the global gaming peripherals market, Razer's sales have been leading for many years, and the company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2017. Razer's products are known for their high performance and dazzling appearance, and have won the Best of CES award for seven consecutive years since 2011.
For the hot live entertainment industry, Razer also launched the Magic Siren series of microphones in a timely manner.
The Magic Siren Elite Edition adopts a dynamic design, which fully takes into account the usage scenarios of players. Dynamic microphones are less sensitive than condenser microphones and can impair keyboard and mouse sounds when picking up sound. However, the price of this microphone is 1599 yuan, and there is no advantage in sound quality and functionality compared with products of the same level.
The regular version of the Magic Siren is priced lower than the Elite version, and has a higher configuration and better sound quality. It has the same 4 polar patterns as the Blue Yeti, and the 24bit/192kHz resolution is top-of-the-line at the price. Probably for the sake of communication between streamers and gamers, the microphone focuses on close-range sound when recording, and feels thin and less rounded when recording instruments. The display is the highlight of the microphone design, allowing the user to visualize the current gain level and pickup pattern. While TheMasterSwitch gave this microphone a high rating for sound quality, it also pointed out that Razer didn't put too much effort into the software of this microphone. But in this series of products, the Magic Siren Normal Edition is still the most worthwhile microphone to buy.
The Magic Siren X is the entry-level model in the series, which is smaller, lighter, and more streamlined in function. This microphone is also built for esports gamers and streamers, and uses a supercardioid pickup pattern to make the recording area more concentrated, suitable for close-up vocal recording; The built-in shock mount reduces the noise caused by the vibration of the desktop in games. Players with a budget of about 800 yuan can consider purchasing.
Razer's product naming is confusing, so you should pay more attention to the model of the product when buying.
