Product Information

When we were inspecting the product for our Elgato Wave XLR review, we could dismiss it as a bit basic. This was the first time we saw it, and also when we compared it to other smaller XLR interfaces around. Considering it’s affordable price, this board is quite sturdy with clearly labeled buttons, knobs, and inputs. Pressing the knob for two seconds will let you toggle the phantom power on/off. You can leave it switched off when utilising a dynamic mic. We suggest that you leave it this way since some of these microphones can get damaged by phantom power. It comes with six live-streaming modes: chat, autotune, warcraft, MC, sing, and Lolita. It also has 10 preset audio effects like laughter, heartbeat, danger, clap, and more.

The L5 is compatible with PC, PS4, iOS, and Android. The console is portable and includes a 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery that can last for up to 10 hours (without phantom power), allowing streamers to broadcast from anywhere. Tap the control dial to switch between controlling the gain, headphone output volume or mic/PC mix ratio.It’s a product that doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk. And, it adds a lot of functionality to your set-up no matter what it is. When performing a firmware update, it is critical that the update is not interrupted. While updating, please ensure the following: The SoundBlaster K3+ is a popular mixer for Twitch streamers and one of the most recommended GoXLR alternatives.

It’s the easiest mixer to set up in this entire list, and it may even feel basic compared to other XLR options. It features an RCA I/O path for additional routing options that can separate volume controls from the main input and the headphones.

This will switch between mic gain, headphone volume, and the monitoring mix. This lets you decide on the balance between how much of the mic you can hear. And, that also goes for how much you hear every other sound that’s sent to the headphones.
