  "account": "Corsair has unveiled its first premium USB microphone, the Voxara, designed for both gaming and professional content creation. This new device merges Corsair's hardware with software from Elgato, which the two companies acquired in 2018. The Voxara promises studio-quality vocals with extensive customization options and smooth integration with both Corsair and Elgato ecosystems.\n\nEquipped with a 25mm condenser capsule, the Voxara supports 32-bit audio recording and a 192kHz sample rate. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound directly in front of it, minimizing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. The microphone also includes an integrated shock mount and built-in pop filter to reduce vibrations, handling noise, and plosives in recordings or voice chats.\n\nOn the software side, the Voxara integrates with Elgato's Wave Link 3.0. This allows users to control the microphone, game audio, music, and chat through separate channels. Users can apply EQ presets, custom audio effects, and third-party VST and AU plugins via the software, including those from the Elgato Marketplace. Wave Link also features Voice Focus, powered by ai|coustics. This real-time feature reduces background noise, room echo, and reverb, while enhancing the user's voice without needing an additional download.\n\nThe Voxara has a customizable OLED display that shows information like headset volume, mic gain, audio balance, and mute status. A multi-function scroll wheel adjusts these settings, and a tap-to-mute sensor provides quick muting with visual feedback. The microphone also features custom RGB lighting with multi-colour effects, static colours, and a dynamic level meter. Users can configure this lighting through Wave Link or sync it with Corsair devices using iCUE Murals via the iCUE Apps (Beta).\n\nThe Voxara comes with a detachable aluminium stand for desktop use and adapters for attaching it to standard boom arms. It connects via USB-C with the included braided cable and supports plug-and-play operation on Windows and macOS. Additionally, the Voxara supports audio input on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.\n\nPriced at US$200 (~RM816) in the US, the Voxara is available in Black and White. Corsair has not yet announced availability in Malaysia.",
