CARLSBAD, Calif. (11 December 2014) – Razer™, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the Razer Seirēn (stylized as “Seirēn” and pronounced “Sigh-ren”), a plug-and-play digital microphone designed for studio-grade recording and streaming.

The Razer Seirēn features a digital USB connection and three custom-tuned 14mm condenser capsules, making it capable of supporting four different polar recording patterns. By enabling content users to easily switch between cardioid, stereo, bidirectional and omnidirectional configurations by simply rotating the main control knob, the Razer Seirēn provides true versatility on demand. With plug-and-play simplicity this microphone is simple to use at the studio or at home.

Capable of recording at outstanding clarity levels multiple times of that found on CDs; with an impressive maximum recording resolution of 192 kHz / 24-bit, the Razer Seirēn digital microphone is ideal for the needs of professional musicians, streamers and YouTubers who demand superior quality. The microphone’s built-in headphone amplifier delivers real-time accurate monitoring of recordings to ensure users sound exactly as they intend to.

“Platforms like YouTube and Twitch are a big part of how people experience their media today, and they shape how we interact with each other,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “Tuned for a professional-style setup and able to be assembled and transported quickly and easily, the Razer Seirēn is a microphone designed specifically for streamers and YouTubers.”

Razer is also initiating a “Razer Sponsored Streamer Program” to help aspiring content creators and streamers take their recordings to a professional level. Content creators will be divided up into 3 experience levels and are entitled to different levels of sponsorships ranging from a sponsored Razer Seirēn to a full Razer peripheral suite. Razer is committed to help budding streamers achieve higher level recordings and create immersive content.

The Razer Seirēn digital microphone is the company’s latest audio product designed to go beyond pure gaming. Earlier this year, Razer launched the Leviathan, a gaming and music soundbar and the Adaro audio line, a series of four headphones tuned for music and designed for comfort and durability. The Adaro collection continues to be popular among EDM artists, musicians and avid music listeners ever since its acclaimed launch at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show.

Beyond its music partners, Razer works with some of the top professional gaming YouTubers and streamers. Many of which were inspirations in the creation of the Razer Seirēn and will play roles in its future development.

Professional recording accessories such as a shock mount and pop filter are also available to pair with the Razer Seirēn digital microphone for the complete recording setup. These accessories along with the Razer Seirēn professional bundle will be available exclusively on RazerStore. For more information, visit www.razerzone.com/gaming-audio/razer-seiren.
