How to reduce the background noise picked up by the microphone when it is in use
- Ensure that your microphone is positioned close to your mouth, then lower the gain of your microphone.
- Ensure that there are no fans or air-conditioning units blowing directly onto your Razer Seirēn microphone.
- Broadcasting software like OBS comes equipped with plugins that can assist in the reduction of background noise.
Does the Razer Seirēn come with any recording accessories?
Yes, you can purchase the shock mount and pop filter exclusively at Razer Store.
Why is my Razer Seiren detected as a speaker in the device manager?
The Razer Seiren line of products are also detected as speakers in the device manager to allow for audio monitoring while streaming. When a headset is plugged into the 3.5mm port on the Seiren, you hear both your computer audio and mic audio.
Software
Why do I need to install Razer Synapse for the Razer Seirēn and Razer Seirēn Pro to work?
As different operating systems may or may not have sufficient features to utilize the capabilities of the Razer Seirēn microphones, driver installation via Razer Synapse is required to enable the microphones to record at high definition 24-bit, 192 kHz and unleash their full potential.
Since updating to Windows 10, Razer Synapse does not detect my device and show the correct product configurator. What should I do?
If you encounter this, perform Synapse update through “Settings” > “CHECK FOR UPDATES.” If the update is not able to run or Synapse not able to load, uninstall Synapse and download the latest Synapse Framework from Razer Support site.
I am having problems installing or locating the necessary drivers for the Razer Seirēn on Windows.
The Razer Seirēn requires dedicated drivers to achieve high bit rate recording. Install Razer Synapse to obtain the latest drivers for your Razer Seirēn.
I’m using the Razer Seirēn on a Mac, do I need to install Razer Synapse to use it?
No. Using the Razer Seiren on the Mac OS does not require Razer Synapse drivers. Mac OS natively supports high bit rate recording. However, installing Razer Synapse will provide you with advanced settings for your Razer Seirēn.
How to reduce the background noise picked up by the microphone when it is in use?
If your Razer Seirēn series microphone is picking up unwanted noise, try the following steps: – Ensure that your microphone is positioned close to your mouth, then lower the gain of your microphone. – Ensure that there are no fans or air-conditioning units blowing directly onto your Razer Seirēn microphone. – Broadcasting software like OBS comes equipped with plugins that can assist in the reduction of background noise.
