Realmente es una gran inversión si quieres mejorar tu audio, en mi caso lo ocupe para un micrófono que utilizaba para llamadas y conferencias del trabajo así como para jugar, todos mencionaron que la calidad el audio era demasiado buena, además de que se ve demasiado bien.

Après plusieurs mois d’utilisation, je peux dire que la GoXLR XL est tout simplement exceptionnelle. La qualité de fabrication est au rendez-vous : solide, bien pensée, et ultra intuitive à utiliser. Que ce soit pour streamer, enregistrer, mixer ou simplement avoir un son de qualité irréprochable, elle fait parfaitement le job. Le logiciel qui l’accompagne est très complet et facile à prendre en main, et surtout, TC Helicon déploie régulièrement des mises à jour, ce qui montre qu’ils sont à l’écoute des utilisateurs et vraiment réactifs. Chaque mise à jour apporte des améliorations notables ou de nouvelles fonctionnalités, ce qui est un vrai plus. Les effets vocaux, les égalisations personnalisables, les multiples entrées/sorties… tout est là pour gérer son son à la perfection. Franchement, une des meilleures décisions d’achat que j’ai faites pour mon setup. Je recommande à 100 % à tous ceux qui veulent du matériel fiable, évolutif et performant !

I have now used this as part of my workflow making youtube/stream content as my full time income for over a year and it’s brilliant.
The multi fader volume control allows super easy adjusting of various programs without having to dig around in the windows volume mixer – which can be a stressful to do quickly when live!
The realtime microphone denoise, desesser and eq allow me to completely bipass audio programs like audacity and audition when recording voice over for youtube videos and I can instead record directly into my video editing program which makes for significantly less audio post production required (huge time saver for me!). And because the audio post production is done on the device my mic sounds consistant wether im using OBS to stream, recording voice over or chatting to friends on discord.
The device doesn’t power off the lights when turning off the PC which is annoying and it doesn’t look like there will be a good solution any time soon. I personally haven’t used the voice effects that are only on the bigger goxlr much myself but the functionality is excellent so if you have a good use case for them, it’s worth checking out.
The price is quite a lot but I think for what it does this has been one of the best purchases I’ve made in a while.

Was worried with all the news one was not able to buy this device anymore. Amazon was the only place that still sold the device. Since the development of the software is continued, made the choice to buy it, and never looked back.
Best audio deck for anyone who would like to stream, or just want to have a nice device to separate audio channels in a easy way.
Can recommend!

I’ve been streaming on Twitch for a little over 1 year. Up until now I’ve been using a condenser mic with a basic XLR interface connected to my single-PC setup, and it’s served me well. Around the time GoXLR was announced I had been putting together a wishlist of audio gear purchases, include a multi-channel mixer and voice changer, like many of my streamer friends recommended. I was looking for a way to gain more discreet (read: physical) control over my audio sources and inputs, as well as boost the quality of my audio chain with more powerful EQ, compression, gate, etc. (previously had used filters in OBS). Budget of dollars and desk space were limited.
The GoXLR has answered ALL of those needs and exceeded my expectations in many other ways.
Not only did it allow me to upgrade to a dynamic mic (the gain-hungry Shure SM7B) to help mitigate my untreated room reflections and background noise, but it has been an incredible upgrade to the control I have over my streams audio. I believe they say it has over 70db of gain in the preamps, which sound amazing and have very little noise (even when set to the 57db of gain I use for the SM7B).
This mixer is supposed to be optimized for a streaming setup, and it shows in the specific features they included, as well as the arrangement of what is physical vs what is software controlled. You can fine-tune to your heart’s content, but will always have the most important settings close-at-hand with a fader, knob, or button. It’s really that simple. (insert “even a caveman can do it” meme here)
With a single XLR input, this really is a mixer that gives up some advanced features in favor of allowing a single user to gain basic access to things many consider “extra” like voice changing and sampling along with the mixer. You’d have to spend well over $1000 to get all of these features in a collection of other devices, and not all of them will play well together, or even come close to fitting in the footprint the GoXLR (fits next to my streamdeck behind my keyboard).
So will an advanced audio engineer find the device worthwhile? Probably not. Podcasts and multi-person streams will find other devices more appropriate for multi-track recording (currently not possible on the GoXLR) and more expandable. But for a streamer looking for that next step beyond the “basic” standard steup and more control over audio, I can’t imagine a better tool. I also have trouble imagining ever needing to graduate beyond it, as it will work even with a 2-PC stream rig extremely well, as evidenced by the plethora who use it that way.
The voice changer is great, lots of store-able presets and fine-tuning. The sampler is amazingly powerful and was totally unexpected – being able to sample any source coming through the mixer at a single touch is so useful and fun. You can be a radio DJ with prepped sounds or even grab them live – it’s so easy!
Setup was a breeze – 5min to get rolling, hours of fun messing with all the features making voices and samples. I have very little background in audio production so I needed to look up one or two things in the TC Helicon YouTube tutorials to get it set how I liked in the mic chain (compressor/gate settings). Software seems like it will continue to improve as they patch it and add more features, tooltips, and fix minor bugs (which are few).
The TC Helicon staff on their Twitter and Discord are amazingly helpful, as is the community of users. Any technical difficulties (there can be many different ones with audio setups in Windows) are quick to be addressed, but I’ve not had any major ones. As they develop more materials around the product I imagine the initial user experience will get even better, as it should. Right now someone with zero audio experience may need some help, but the resources are there if you look for them.
One final note: Do yourself a favor and install EarTrumpet to help keep Windows from messing with your source routing – this is great even if you don’t use the GoXLR, but it’s the perfect companion to their app.
All-in-all, a great tool at a great price with tons of features and controls. Good software with tons of potential for further improvement. The ideal “next step” from basic XLR interfaces to total stream audio control!

I wasn’t expecting the GoXLR to make such a difference in my setup. Honestly, if you’re a streamer, podcaster, or any kind of content creator, this thing is a game changer. It’s not exactly plug-and-play, there’s definitely a learning curve, especially if you want to get the most out of it. But once you push through, it’s amazing what this thing can do. It can control audio levels with ease, like adding live sound effects or muting on the fly, it opens up a whole new level of flexibility. You’ll spend some time tweaking settings, but once you get the hang of it, the control it gives you is unmatched.
The build quality is great too, it’s got some heft to it, which makes it feel solid even though it’s mostly plastic. The faders are smooth as butter, and the lighting customization adds a cool vibe to your setup.
Bottom line: if you’re willing to invest a little time learning it, the GoXLR becomes a tool you can’t imagine working without. It’s a solid mix of fun and functionality, and worth every penny for the flexibility and control it brings to your setup. I can easily mute my games, or Spotify, or even my friends in discord with the click of a button.
