As I mentioned in a previous review, I do stream here and there strictly for fun and I don't take it super seriously. I was previously using the MV7 in USB mode, but I got talked into buying the GoXLR by a friend as they had nothing but good things to say about it, and that he didn't regret purchasing it at all. I was getting pretty fed up with the issue I was having with the MV7 (feel free to refer to my review of the mic for more info on my experience with it, but long story short, the gain level I set would reset back to the max level whenever I would restart my PC) - so I wanted to switch to XLR to remedy the issue, and I felt like the GoXLR was a good option as it also cut out the need to use submixes in OBS as I was able to get rid of the virtual cables I was using since all of that work is done on the GoXLR. The best part of the GoXLR is the fact it has the following built in: Noise gate, EQ, compressor and de-esser. The reason this is a great feature is because normally I would only be able to use those filters on my stream/recordings, as you can't add any of these features through Windows - so I have the effects on my microphone universally, meaning that I'm EQ'd not only on OBS, but also on the likes of Discord with friends. To me, the voice effects (pitch, reverb etc.) and sample pad are just an extra bonus, and I do find myself using them from time to time for comedic effect! I would have went with the GoXLR Mini, but I really liked the thought of the mechanical sliders, as well as the fact that the cost of getting the GoXLR Mini along with some decent voice changing/filter software and a sample pad would probably come to around the same price of the regular sized GoXLR anyways, and it is nice to have everything built into one robust unit. The only issues I have with the device are strictly due to software limitations, which can and probably will be fixed with future software updates from the TC Helicon team. Their Discord server is exceptional, as they are very active with not only tech support, but with sharing their planned features for future updates. 100% recommend this unit, even just for general use, it is incredibly powerful. If you're a streamer also, it makes life so much easier with being able to split your game and system sound, so if you have sound alerts set up, you no longer have to battle with game audio being too loud, as you can assign it to a slider and control the volume independently of the system/alert sounds, and the same goes for the likes of music and Discord/voice chat audio. One thing I would love to see in the future is something like a GoXLR XL, or a GoXLR Pro, which has even an extra 2 sliders - as I feel like 6 channels/sliders you can assign sounds to would be a perfect number.

Setting up audio on a dual or single PC streaming system is super easy. It removes all the headaches of getting sounds from one PC to another. The XLR mic option allows for a good choice of studio mics or you can just use it with an existing headset mic setup and it sounds good. It works with Elgato capture cards and OBS or streamlabs. Plug and play. Control sound going into your streaming PC with one cable and alert sounds coming out with another. Super simple to setup but allows for advanced options controlling lots of audio sources. What really amazed me is the sound quality it gives in games. Coming from a Creative Labs X3 and GSX1000 paired with Sennheiser headphones, the clarity of in game sounds is in a league of its own. It doesn't require any gimmicks or software settings to create pin point sound positioning and depth of sound that blows any dolby, vitrual 7.1 configuration I have tried. In games such as Division it picked up sounds I never knew were in game and added to the whole experience. Honestly, even if you don't stream this is the best audio device for playing games online with friends. At a touch of a button I can mute everything, route audio to external speakers and mute headphones or vice versa. I can adjust chat volume in discord with a slider and listen to music routed through the amp while I game. Everything just sounds wonderful. Even if you don't ever plan to stream, this is the best replacement for onboard audio, sound blasters and external gaming amps you'll ever buy.

This gets the job done and has eliminated the need to string together unreliable and confusing software solutions and hardware MIDI devices to do the same thing. I've owned this for about a year and it has gotten better and better with regular software and firmware updates as well. The software is easy to use given the complexity of how you're able to set everything up. The routing section is top notch and extremely useful and easy to follow. The ability to save and load profiles makes switching between your different setups easy and immediate. The ability to assign text, colors, and images to your inputs is nice as well, and makes it easy to customize for whatever your setup calls for. It's been rock solid for me in terms of reliability, and I can only recall one time where I had to power-cycle it to resolve an issue. That's far better than what I was experiencing with previous software solutions. I'd hate to call the next items "cons" or "downsides", because these features were never advertised as being part of the product. But here is a list of suggestions, or things I'd love to see added in a future update: -Personally, I don't use the effects or sampling at all. I would love to see configuration options in the software to reconfigure some of the buttons and knobs for other functions. For example: switching profiles with the press of a button, assigning a knob to quickly change the microphone gate and/or gain, panning a channel's audio left or right. -Make the mic mute/cough button configurable on a specific mixer channel instead of just on the XLR input. I sometimes would like to instantly mute/unmute an input other than the XLR channel just by holding down a giant button. -Add an option to configure the level LED's as pre or post fader. Early on, I noticed that the levels were pre-fader levels, and somewhere along the lines with a software update this changed to post-fader levels (thank you). I've had scenarios where it would be nice to configure this on a per-channel level though. -If it's possible, add the ability to re-name the hardcoded channel names. Mic/Chat/Music/Game, etc. It becomes less of an issue with profiles, it would be awesome to have custom names for inputs. That's really about it... I have no hesitation recommending this product to anyone who needs a digital mixing solution or a good hardware audio interface for a hybrid software & hardware audio setup. Personally, I think it's underpriced just right when you consider any true alternatives (Consider reliability, ease of use, and fit & finish) that are on the market. This line could have an interesting future, and I think there's a gap between cheap analog solutions, expensive digital solutions, and buggy software solutions that TC Helicon has managed to balance with this. I'd be the first customer in line if: -A "pro" version was created that nixes the effects and sampling, at least devote less hardware real-estate to it. Use the space to add more hardware faders, maybe keep a few knobs if they're configurable for things like gain, gate, and compressor. -For the "pro" version, more XLR inputs & outputs on it, rather than having to re-use the 3.5mm connections for different things. -A multi-USB output, so you could have one digital mix to your main PC, and another digital mix to your streaming PC. - Or even better, an ethernet connection and driver package for pulling/sending audio to any PC on your LAN. -A USB-A input/output that uses a generic audio driver, I don't think it's uncommon that a lot of gamers have existing USB headsets or microphones they might prefer to use over an XLR/3.5mm device, just for convenience. It could also be a nice stepping stone to move up from an existing USB only mic .

Was soll man noch über das GO XLR Mini schreiben? Das Produkt ist einwandfrei verarbeitet, das Gerät wiegt wirklich viel, was für eine hohe Qualität spricht und die ist auch wirklich vorhanden. Der Midas Preamp ist fantastisch, er rauscht so gut wie gar nicht (ich habe auf jeden Fall noch nichts gehört) und hat dabei eine klasse Verstärkerleistung von sagenhaften 75 DB !!! Damit lassen sich auch Mikrofon Kandidaten vom Schlage eines Shure SM7B oder Rode Podmic, einwandfrei betreiben und das ohne zusätzlichen Inlineverstärker. Leider gibt es keinerlei Bedienungsanleitung in der Verpackung, es wird lediglich ein USB-B auf USB-A Kabel zum Anschluss an den PC, sowie das Go XLR Mini selbst mitgeliefert. Der QR Code zum Hersteller, der auf der Verpackung ersichtlich ist, führt ins nichts. Um hier weiter zu kommen, muss man im world wide web selbst nach der Software dieses Gerätes suchen. Die Einrichtung war entsprechend schmerzend (lernen durch schmerzen), denn erst einmal begrüßte einen das Go-XLR mit einer Fehlermeldung, die dann nach einem Firmware Update des selbigen, nicht mehr auftrat, Gott sei dank. Nach mehreren Installation ging es dann ins Einstellmenü des Go XLR Mini. Was einen hier erwartet erschlägt dich im ersten Moment einfach nur noch, leider ist die Sprachauswahl nur zwischen chinesisch und englisch wählbar, hier würde ich mir noch ein paar mehr Sprachen wünschen. Es gibt schier hunderte von Einstellmöglichkeiten, angefangen vom Mikrofon, über den Mixer, die Grundkonfiguration, das Lightning, das Routing und das System selbst. Es gibt für viele Dinge einen digitalen Equalizer, Schieberegler hier und Schieberegler dort. Hat man das System dann endlich verstanden, kann man den Ton bis ins kleinste Detail einstellen, VST Plugins brauchst du in deinem System ab jetzt nicht mehr und das ist wirklich klasse. Das Go XLR Mini ermöglicht dir die volle Ton Kontrolle über deinen Live Stream, alles wo du vorher aus dem Game oder aus den Anwendungen springen musstest, kannst du ab jetzt vergessen, denn mit einem einfachen verstellen auf einem der Schieberregler, hast du mit dem Go XLR mini alles erledigt. Und das alles mit einer fantastischen Tonqualität, dank Midas Preamp und der anderen technischen Ausstattung vom Go XLR Mini. Sehr zu empfehlen.
