XLR Mics Now Compatible with Stream Deck +

Published

on

Elgato, a brand of CORSAIR, has introduced two new hardware extensions for their Stream Deck + controller. XLR Dock, a mic interface, helps creators manage all their audio needs from a single device. Meanwhile, USB Hub offers additional ports and power delivery to support a growing setup. Both extensions slot directly into the back of Stream Deck +, tucked away to reduce desk clutter. For creators like streamers and podcasters, it’s an opportunity to further streamline their workspace, with Stream Deck + at its heart.

Stream Deck + owners can order XLR Dock and USB Hub on Elgato’s webstore, with shipping expected to begin next week. Starting August 25, both products will also be available at authorized retailers in CORSAIR’s global network. “Oftentimes, creator hardware takes up lots of space, while doing too little,” said Jörg Gohlke, Senior Engineering Manager at Elgato. “With extensions like XLR Dock, Stream Deck + not only improves on these workflows but also has a smaller footprint. Why use multiple devices when you can do so much more with one?”

To connect a high-end XLR microphone to their computer, creators need an audio interface. Typically, these are bulky devices offering little customization aside from a handful of analogue controls. Now with XLR Dock, creators can plug their premium mic directly into Stream Deck +. It’s an audio interface that fits neatly behind their controller, to help free up valuable desk space. Inside, a preamp ensures dynamic microphones sound loud and clear with up to 75 dB of ultra-low-noise gain. Condenser mics come to life with 48 V phantom power, while Elgato’s Clipguard technology protects against distortion when creators get loud. Everything is powered by a single USB cable and assembles in seconds, making it easier than ever to get rich studio sound.

Best of all, XLR Dock and Stream Deck + bring all your audio controls together. Not just hardware, but also your apps like Spotify or Discord. So you can mix, monitor, and do just about anything from a single device. It’s the ultimate audio station, offering unmatched flexibility to grow with your needs.

As creators expand their setup, they’ll likely run short on USB ports—particularly on laptops, where each new device competes for space. Equipped with USB Hub, Stream Deck + gives creators the ports they need where they need them. Around back, there’s room for up to four devices, from peripherals to external drives. It also powers a laptop*, freeing the port they’d normally use for charging. Files transfer fast at speeds up to 5 Gb/s via USB-C, or using a convenient SD card reader on its side. Stream Deck + connects all this to the user’s computer with a single cable.
