    Used an adapter for a usb mic. It caused mic feedback. Only use a mic made for XLR connection

    I have no complaints. My go xlr mini gave me a ton of issues. This has been better and paired with a stream deck works really well.

    It does what you need it to do. The wave software in general isn't very good. Also any headset plugged into to the headset line on this thing buzzes so loud I can't wear the headset. That is with noise isolator as well.

    Too much self noise

    Bad pre amps. Claims about 60db of gain, but the higher you turn up the gain the more self noise is introduced. With no mic attached the device still puts out a ton of noise.

    Elgato Delivers Again

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great little XLR device without the big price. Elgato makes solid products and this is another one from them. Easy to use and set up, software is user friendly. Sounds good with my Shure microphone. Excellent choice for someone dipping their toes into the world of XLR mics. Just beware of the "mute" button on the top of the device. Easy to hit if you're moving it around, etc. Very nice to have a quick mute button tho.
