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

Wonderful bit of kit

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.

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.

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.

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.

The unit itself is solid and well-made, but the software has been frustrating. Setup was more complicated than expected, and I’ve encountered glitches that affect usability. Some features don’t work smoothly, making the experience less enjoyable. If the software improves, this could be a great product, but for now, it’s just okay.

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.
