Pros:

• Good build quality.
• Faders have a good level of resistance.
• XLR and 6.35mm support.
• Dedicated mute button for each channel.
• Microphone in and headphone out at the front.
• XLR at the back for tidier workspace.
• Low-noise input.

Cons:

• Non-motorised sliders.
• RGB can’t be synced with other peripherals.
• Gloss areas pick up dust and fingerprints too easily.
• Most, if not all, key features are dependent on Synapse.
• Nearly £100 more than the Go XLR mini for essentially the same features.

KitGuru says: Although the Razer Audio Mixer doesn't offer much over the GoXLR Mini, it does give Razer fans a way to streamline their aesthetics. In my tests, it performed well, but I'm not convinced it's worth £100 over the popular GoXLR mini. However, in terms of performance and how it works, I can recommend it.
