Available in black, pink, or white models, the Seiren Mini has a pill-shaped build, with a built-in desktop stand that can tilt to angle up to the person speaking, and can also be angled slightly to the side, kind of like the 360-degree action of a joystick. The top half of the mic is all speaker grille, and the back has a recessed micro USB port. (a micro USB-to-USB cable is included). When the Seiren Mini is attached, a little status LED on the front of the mic lights up.
Behind the grille, the mic has a 14mm condenser capsule with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz and a supercardioid pattern. The maximum sampling rate is 48kHz, and the maximum number of bits is 16. Razer says that the Seiren Mini also has some shock mount protection on the inside.

All of the recording and listening levels will have to be set in the program you use to stream or record. Also, the Seiren Mini documentation says that it only works with Windows 7 or higher, but it doesn’t say anything about macOS. But when we inserted the mic into a very modern iMac, GarageBand had no trouble detecting it and using it as an audio input, and the sound quality of the mic wasn’t affected in any way.
But Mac users won’t be able to use Synapse 3, Razer’s software for PCs that lets you operate the mic in simple ways. Again, the Seiren Mini works perfectly with Garageband, and you don’t need the software that came with it for it to work. Any controls in Synapse 3 can probably be accessible with any recording program.

The super-cardioid design of the Seiren Mini implies that it tends to reject more background noise from the sides and anything behind it. This puts more of the mic’s attention on the sound source in front of it. This rhythm works effectively for most vocalists since it puts all the attention on the person speaking.
