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.

i use this with my Shure mv7 mic and its perfect for streaming or communications.. you can isolate different audio sounds with ease if im watching something on twitch i can isolate my discord chat so i can here the stream better so easy. its easy to use and set up. its pretty straight forward looks amazing very handy that you can mute different sections for quick response makes everything so much easier to stream or just normal life as you don't need to keep tabbing in and out to mute something. very good value for money still debating to get the bigger GO XLR as the mini is so good.. yes its slightly expensive but it saves you so much time and makes everything easy.. you can alter you mic sound with ease to make it sound how you want your mic to sound.. the only problem i have with the GO XLR mini is that it dosent have a OFF button so you just put it into sleep mode in one of your profiles... i love how this has made my setup so easy for me to use and how quick i can do it.. the colours are really good i its small enough that it dosent get in the way also all in all a very good product

As a music producer and music technology writer, I was looking for something that would allow me to quickly record short example audio tutorials to enhance the written content of my software reviews. I am a Windows user, and ASIO drivers generally limit the number of applications that can use them at any one time, this little mixer enables me to patch my digital audio workstation (Reaper) as well as two streams of tex to speech voices (I am blind and use a screen reader to navigate applications), as well as record my voice simultaneously whilst demonstrating. All I needed to do was to choose the relative asio driver within each of the applications I was connecting to it at any one time. This works really well, there is also a third party application available through github which makes the native configuration app more accessible for blind users. This will also be useful when I need to demonstrate things live over a Zoom call etc. No real negatives given the price, although I would have preferred a 1/4 inch jack input for the headphones rather than the 3.5mm one, and the line in is also only a 3.5mm where the larger jacks or RCA would have been better, I guess this was perhaps down to space. The pre-amps on this are pretty clean, and the xlr mic input is good. I echo what another reviewer said about surface scratches, there is a protective film of plastic that simply needs to be peeled off and all is golden! All in all, great bang for buck, very flexible, very pleased, the point deduction is only for the tiny 3.5mm jacks :)

Got it as a gift for my brother and he loves it. Easy to operate, has many features and options. Good quality that will last.

The GoXLR mini is still rather expensive but it's much cheaper than the alternative, Goxlr stripped of all the gimmicks while retaining its core functionality. You loose; -motorised sliders -voice changer -Sound effects and sampler -de-esser You get greater control over microphone, chat, music and system sounds. In the software, you can set up a microphone while supporting it with built-in gate/equaliser (fewer bands than the non-mini)/compressor in both a simple and advanced mode eliminating the need for third-party software. Just to add the xlr microphone port has preamp gain which usually needed by most dynamic microphone eliminating the need to purchase a separate one usually a cloudlifter or fedhead which separately cost around £100 if you are thinking of going with a cheaper mixer. Even though there is support for a USB microphone, it is my personal opinion that spending this much on a mixer you should be using a microphone that connects through xlr for best results. You have the mixer function through the Software too which controls both the lights and levels for each slider and additional outputs and inputs. One most underrated functions are the routing table provided by the software which allows you to decided which output each input goes to. Confusing at first but for me one best functionality as I can listen to non-copyrighted music and have it only play through my headset and the stream here a completely copyright free music which I don't have to hear. On top of all this, due to the popularity of the Goxlr you can find many guides and videos that will probably fix any issues you have or if not you can get support through the TC Helicon gaming discord server which can provide fast and knowledgable information and solutions without having to send 100s of emails back and forth. Note: I use my goxlr mini with a Behringer HA400 Microamp because I like adjusting my headphone levels without it affecting the mixer setup and what the stream hears (which can be done using the software) and able to use my speakers when not streaming without having to mess with windows sound settings.

Purchased nearly a year ago and it's amazing to split up the individual audios !

I bought this product on 2 February 2022 and I'm writing this review in 2023 sooo it has been some time since I used this product but I'll get into everything that I absolutely HATED that I remember on this product. The GOXLR Mini was probably the worst purchase I've ever made and I'll happily stick to different audio interfaces.. Sorry guys, it was a good idea but it fell flat. The mini has things locked unless you buy the big boy version which is absolutely pathetic IMO. The software is just utterly terrible. As soon as you touch the compression, you may as well just be on an xbox360 mic.. The de-esser was alright but eh.. You could buy any insane mic, no matter what brand and the GOXLR will ruin it. If you do buy the GOXLR, stay away from the mini due to limited EQ bands It also kept disconnecting my mic all the time, couldn't get it to stay on for more than 20minutes. Tried VERY hard when I had this product to keep it and love it but I'm very happy to this day that I didn't keep it and try. I wanted to like this product but my god, it suuuucked..

Offering superior sound quality, flexibility, and user-friendly features in a compact package, this product achieves a score of 9.3 out of 10. The GoXLR Mini is equipped with a high-quality Midas preamp that ensures excellent sound quality. Whether you're a streamer talking over gameplay or a podcaster interviewing a guest, the preamp provides pristine audio capture, enhancing your broadcast's professionalism. One of the standout features of the GoXLR Mini is its USB/audio interface. This allows for seamless integration with your computer, effectively managing your audio sources and outputs. The intuitive TC Helicon software gives you precise control over audio routing, making it easy to mix, fade, and mute your audio sources. The device is designed with user convenience in mind. Physical controls are available for all essential functions, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments during a live stream or recording. With dedicated knobs for microphone gain, headphone volume, and mute buttons, you have direct control over your audio at your fingertips. The build quality of the GoXLR Mini is impressive. The unit feels sturdy and well-built, offering durability that will endure long-term usage. The compact design makes it a perfect fit for any workstation, even when desk space is limited. The GoXLR Mini, however, does not include the voice-changing and sampling features found in its larger counterpart, the GoXLR. While this might be a downside for users who need these features, it is not a deal-breaker considering the Mini’s superior performance in core functions at a more affordable price. In conclusion, the TC Helicon GoXLR Mini is an outstanding online broadcast mixer that strikes a perfect balance between quality, functionality, and price. It offers premium audio control in a compact and user-friendly design, which makes it an invaluable tool for any content creator. Despite a few features missing compared to its larger sibling, its overall performance, build quality, and value proposition make it a highly recommended piece of gear in the content creation toolkit.

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.

Dopo aver utilizzato il GOXLR Mini per diversi mesi, posso confermare che è stata un'aggiunta fantastica alla mia configurazione audio. La sua versatilità e le sue funzionalità intuitive lo rendono uno strumento indispensabile per chiunque abbia bisogno di gestire l'audio in modo professionale o per il proprio svago. La qualità del suono è eccezionale e le opzioni di mixaggio e di regolazione dell'audio sono estremamente facili da utilizzare. Ho trovato particolarmente utile la capacità di regolare in modo preciso i livelli audio in tempo reale durante le trasmissioni in streaming o le registrazioni podcast. Inoltre, la sua compattezza lo rende ideale per l'uso su scrivanie di dimensioni ridotte, senza sacrificare la qualità o le funzionalità. Ho apprezzato anche la solidità della costruzione, che trasmette una sensazione di affidabilità e durata nel tempo. In conclusione, se stai cercando un mixer audio di alta qualità che sia facile da usare e che offra prestazioni affidabili, il GOXLR Mini è la scelta perfetta. Non posso che dare a questo prodotto una valutazione di 5 stelle.

This is an utterly fantastic device. If you are a streamer, this will seriously up your stream quality when paired with a quality mic. Background: I'm a semi-regular Twitch streamer and also a software engineer and digital recording nerd. I have high standards for digital audio equipment. In the past, I've used Presonus, Alesis, and Focusrite USB and firewire audio interfaces, the dbx 286s processor that everybody uses, Behringer X AIR mixers, and even a full size X32 mixer for a few days until I realized what overkill that was for producing a stream :-P My GoXLR Mini is replacing about 3x its dollar value in high-quality preamps, outboard processors, and interfaces, and I couldn't be happier with it. The built-in preamp is high quality and has more then enough gain for my PR40 without needing a Cloudlifter. The included gate, compressor, and EQ help make your voice clear, clean, and consistent. And, although it looks like you only get 4 inputs due to the 4 faders, you actually get quite a bit more I/O than it appears - the GoXLR Mini adds 5 virtual output devices, plus the hardware mic in, line in, and optical in, and you can flexibly route all of these and re-map the faders in the GoXLR app however you like. I'm appreciative of the ability to configure the lights to act as meters, and the full audio engineer-level control over parameters like compression ratio and gate attack & release timing. They also thoughtfully beat me to a feature request by allowing you to map the headphone output level as a fader, even though it's an output and not an input. I have a few niggles / feature requests, many of which were acknowledged by TC on their Discord server and are planned soon: 1) StreamDeck integration - natural pairing for a device like this. ** UPDATE: This is available now. ** 2) Making the 'cough' button a toggle instead of a momentary switch. ** UPDATE: This is available now. ** 3) Visual cues when configuring the gate and compressor to see when they're kicking in. No ETA but acknowledged by TC. 4) The app is helpful and the ability to mix ALL of the inputs and outputs in one place is great. However, there's no minimal 'mixer only' view in the app, so if you want to keep the mixer handy, you have to also waste screen space showing the profile load/save and a picture of the device itself. At $500, the GoXLR was expensive and had features that were cool as a novelty but unnecessary. At $250, TC has hit this offering out of the park.
