XLR Dock – For Stream Deck +, XLR-to-USB Mic Interface, Customizable Audio Mixer, 75 dB Gain/Phantom Power/Clipguard – Mac/PC, Stream Deck Not Included

This replaced two boxes I used to connect my XLR RODE Podcaster to my computer. I previously needed a preamp and a USB audio interface (a PreSonus TubePre V2 and a PreSonus Studio 24c, both excellent), but this dock replaced all their functionality and added a great deal more besides. Coupled with the Stream Deck, this has completely transformed my YouTube videos and made the process far more enjoyable. I can now record, stream and set up complex commands with a single click. I can add vocal effects, sounds, remix audio, and change what appears in the stream with ease, with just this one item (as the dock and Stream Deck connect and become a single piece of tech) and the two pieces of software that sit in the background. Such a brilliant piece of kit, if you are looking at this thinking it MIGHT help, please give it a go, it won't only help, it'll supercharge everything. I sometimes want to hug it and tuck it in at night.

The Elgato XLR Dock is an excellent add-on that transforms your Stream Deck + into a highly capable, space-saving audio interface and control center. For content creators, streamers, and podcasters who already own the Stream Deck +, this dock is a near-essential upgrade that neatly integrates high-quality XLR microphone input and audio mixing directly into your desk controller.

This product completes the Stream Deck Plus as the all-in-one audio controller and interface. Build quality is ok but the convenience and functionality is what I wanted. Good to reduce clutter on desk with having different audio hardware, this just simplifies things for me.

I bought this as I love Elgato products, and I had also just upgraded my streamdeck to the Plus version. I set it all up and connected everything, went to wavelink which I had already installed and set that up, went to do a stream and my microphone was not working, in the end I had to uninstall the wavelink software and install it again, since then it's been working fine.

Simple to setup if you have an xlr audio mic feed and 30 seconds to undo two screws and screw them back in through the dock. Wavelink software is a little confusing. It packs a lot of advanced audio management into a simple interface but its still a lot of advanced audio management. I had been using the goxlr for 5+ years which had begun failing and resetting. Of all the options this looked the best and three weeks down the line Im pleased. If you're not somebody who knows the ins snd outs of PC audio it will be a learning curve. I'm fairly technical and its been a journey for me.

Wonderful bit of kit

Was very easy to attach to the stream deck+. Worked straight away. I had a mini xlr that was causing issues with my sound and mic, and no matter what I did I couldn't get the problems solved. Purchased this with the stream deck+ and it's been an amazing combination. Easy to setup, easy to use and looks nicer in my opinion on my desk than the mini xlr.

I had high hopes for this xlr interface, but honestly I had lots of technical hurdles when connected to my mac. I’ve sent mine back and swapped it for a Vocaster One at half the price. Works like a charm now. Im sure the elgato interface works great with a pc though.
