The Razer Mako is an audio experience that has to be heard to be believed. The implementation of THX Ground Plane™ technology and ClassHD™ amplification have culminated in a speaker system that has been globally acclaimed for its crystalline clarity and rich bass. Combining the THX Slot Speaker™ with the THX Ground Plane technologies eliminate distortion caused by the ‘desk-bounce’ phenomenon commonly faced by conventional speaker systems, while creating a rich, omni-directional soundstage where immersive sound seems to emanate from every corner of the room.
“This is Razer’s first foray into audiophile speakers and the Razer Mako has been a huge success. Many gamers and critics are surprised by the immense power and crisp acoustic clarity coming from a simple 2.1 speaker system, and we have proven with the Razer Mako that the Razer brand is not only confined to gaming peripherals, but has also become synonymous with the best desktop interactive audio experience possible,” said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, president of Razer.
“The Razer Mako challenges the notion that all multimedia speakers must look and sound the same,” said Laurie Fincham, Chief Scientist and vice president of R&D at THX. “The THX Ground Plane and Slot Speaker technologies set the Mako apart, making it arguably the most innovative desktop speaker system available today. Those who purchase the Mako will find that it delivers powerful, room-filling sound with a level of quality that they would expect from THX.”
