4. GETTING STARTED
SETTING IT UP
1. Connect an XLR mic to the XLR mic input port AND/OR a microphone to the Line In port,
depending on which is available in your setup.
Make sure that Phantom Power is off before connecting an XLR microphone into the XLR
mic input port. Moreover, when using a USB-powered microphone in your setup, ensure
that the microphone is connected to your PC's USB port. It's also recommended that you
connect a ground loop isolator before plugging the microphone into the Line In port of
the Razer Audio Mixer.
2. Plug an optical cable from the Optical In port on your Razer Audio Mixer to your gaming
console. This is applicable if you're planning to use a gaming console in your stream.
3. Connect the Razer Audio Mixer to your gaming PC using the Type A to Type C cable.
To optimize the performance of the Razer Audio Mixer, it's highly recommended that you
connect it directly to a USB port on your PC. Connecting the device to a USB hub, switch
or extender may affect its performance.
4. Connect your headset to the headphone port.
If you want to use your headset's microphone, use an audio / mic splitter extension cable
(if applicable), and then connect its stereo output to the headset port and its mic input to
the microphone port.

SETTING UP A DEDICATED STREAMING PC
To set up a streaming PC that will handle all of the Razer Audio Mixer's audio output, connect the Line
Out port of the Razer Audio Mixer to the Line In port of your streaming PC using an aux cable.
It's recommended that you connect a ground loop isolator into the Line Out port of the Razer
Audio Mixer before connecting an aux cable. To set which audio sources will be routed to the
Line Out port, use the Razer Synapse app.
RAZER SYNAPSE
Use the Razer Synapse app to route audio output sources, assign applications to desired audio
channels, customize mic equalizer presets and features, and even personalize its lighting for an
immersive streaming experience that's truly yours.
Install Razer Synapse when prompted or download the installer from razer.com/synapse.

4. Repeat these steps for other applications.
IMPORTANT! Some applications may also have in-app functions which allow you to change the
input and output device it will use.
Channel Mapping
Map input sources to channel faders, channel mute button functions, and a long press function to the
mic mute button.
▪Source. Assign channels to any of the channel faders on the Razer Audio Mixer. Once assigned,
you'll be able to control its volume using the corresponding channel fader physically.
To control the volume of specific applications, make sure a channel is set as the desired
