Razer launches Mako and Mako X desktop speakers
Razer Unveils Mako and Mako X: Compact Speakers That Deliver Epic Sound
For gamers and desk enthusiasts who crave immersive audio without sacrificing precious desk real estate, the hunt for the perfect speaker setup often involves a compromise. Enter Razer with the Mako and Mako X, a new line of compact desktop gaming speakers designed to deliver rich, deep sound and powerful bass in a surprisingly small package.
These new speakers tackle the classic dilemma of audio quality versus space constraints, proving that you don’t have to choose between a cinematic soundscape and a clean workspace. Both models share Razer’s signature aesthetic, featuring vibrant Chroma RGB lighting and convenient USB-C connectivity, setting a new standard for desktop audio.
The larger Mako system is built for those who want maximum depth. It pairs custom-tuned 2.75-inch full-range drivers with a dedicated 3.5-inch subwoofer, resulting in a powerful 2.1 setup. Delivering 40W RMS (60W peak), the Mako pushes the low-end response down to an impressive 45Hz. Its angled design ensures audio is projected directly toward the listener, while the rear-projection Chroma RGB lighting adds a striking ambient glow to the wall behind the setup. It also includes advanced features like 7.1 virtual surround processing and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, all managed via a single USB-C cable.
For those who prioritize minimalism, the Mako X steps in. This smaller 2.0 configuration utilizes the same high-quality 2.75-inch drivers but ditches the traditional subwoofer in favor of built-in passive radiators, expertly extending the low-end response. While slightly quieter in raw power, the Mako X still delivers punch, reaching a frequency response of 60Hz. It is flexible, drawing power through standard USB up to 15W, or boosting output with a 30W USB-C source. The aesthetic is equally refined, featuring a subtle yet captivating 10-zone Chroma RGB underglow beneath each speaker.
Razer has positioned these speakers as highly accessible, offering two distinct pathways for acoustic excellence. The Mako provides the robust, bass-heavy experience for true audiophiles, while the Mako X offers a sleek, space-saving solution perfect for modern, minimalist setups. With the Mako X launching earlier than its larger sibling, these compact titans are ready to redefine how we hear gaming and music in our personal spaces.
The Mako is set to arrive in December for £149.99 / $149.99 / €159.99, while the more streamlined Mako X is available sooner, launching on October 6th for £99.99 / $99.99 / €109.99.
