Elgato on its new accessories:
[XLR Dock] 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 analog 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.
[USB Hub] 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.
As an added bonus, USB Hub stows away out of sight, hiding cables and keeping desks tidy. Plus, your ports are always within arm’s reach, just behind Stream Deck +. It all assembles in seconds, no drivers or software needed.
