I think they missed one HUGE opportunity with this. A second USB port for a duo PC stream set up. This would then be the PERFECT piece of stream gear!
Someone mentioned it that works there on Twitter said they were thinking about how to do it but i agree they could have did it through the USB Hub they made
@@RedBeardedJoe You can kind of do it if you also have a capture card. The problem is it wont send sounds back to the other PC (like your mic) and more so it has a delay in the sound. Even an Aux in would have been amazing.
I don't have a Sound Capture so I use HDMI For that@@MrRichardBuilds
Yes or just make a big hub with all of their devices in one
That’s super interesting. It’s true that the 2 PC experience isn’t great. Kind of a trade off for their simplicity. That would have been really cool, though.
6:48 That transition sequence is INSANE!!!!
I thought the same thing🔥
When Julian announced it on Twitter/X I lost it. I have been asking them to do something with that blank space behind it. I feel VINDICATED. That USB Hub yup. Thank you universe
The hub is not crazy at all. We're all chasing for that clean desk, less cable setup. Elgato understood the assignment and nailed it. Actually, the deck XL could use some hub stand too @Elgato 😂
@@elgato 👀
Fr I got the XL right before the plus got revealed, kinda dealing with buyer's remorse since, hoping they do provide an equivalent (one day) for the XL as well so I can ditch my Steinberg interface
@@heinyboi Idk why people saw the + and immediately said "I'm trading in my XL for this" as someone with an XL and a +, they are for different purposes and the XL will never get replaced on my desk unless they make a newer version with substantial upgrades. The XL can still do things like random actions, soundboarding, opening software and macros, etc. While the + is purely audio control, mixing, and sampling. At least for me. The best setup right now is an XL, and a +. Or if you need it, 2 +'s like he has in the video.
as soon as i seen the announcement for these on their twitter i was like "Harris is gonna be one of the 1st ppl to drop a video about it" and here we are
Because hes shit payed by Elgato. Anyone who doesnt see this is blind xD
@@KrzysztofZwirskii mean yea hes payed by them, but their still quality products / ecosystem
as someone who wants to get rid of his beacn mix create and move over to the elgato system BUT didn't want to buy two more devices, this is awesome omfg.
any reason u want to move over? Got the Beacn Mix create and had no wishes or problems 🤔
@@m00ri25 the software has some hiccups that make it annoying to use sometimes. Could be on my end but if I can use a stream deck and audio interface packaged in one device, that’d be great
@@m00ri25 i didnt like the Buttons to tab over if it was Bigger and and Browser and everything could be done through those Knobs with them being there for the people that used the Virtual Deal for aswell i would have kept using it i dont use the Virtual Deal so i would never tab over i was using that in Combination w/ my AVerMedia Live Streamer Nexus but after i few times of me not relazing i tabbed over i was only using Mic System Game and Chat which is the exact same stuff i have for my AVerMedia Live Streamer Nexus so i quit using it i dont care about something being a little Bigger
@@clubkevyumba I would like to warn you that Elgato software isn't without its faults, consistently both my Streamdeck mk.2 and Streamdeck+ freeze whenever they have constant graphics (ie. an audio visualizer and computer temps.) and sometimes on top of that the app doesn't like to work (freezing, failing to register updates, and plugins disappearing). The wave xlr has worked perfectly imo but the deck experience not so much. Elgato does try its best but it isn't perfect.
@vuldren well said, while elgatos softwares one of my most used softwares it does have problems too its not perfect, just really good regardless, just a bit tedious having to force close n restart program 2 to 3 times to get it to work properly.
I get everything I need with my Wave:3 mic, so the XLR addon for my StreamDeck+ isn't as exciting (I know some folks who will be thrilled), but I am 100% buying the hub immediately for my own setup. I've been struggling with a need for more USB-C ports that are convenient without a crapload of extras clutter in my rig/desk setup. So, instant buy for me!
These are definitely cool. My one issue is the 3.5mm output for audio on the WaveXLR. If you want to integrate it into a decent audio system that’s a big inconvenience.
Genuinely, the USB dock does it for me.
that back to the video transition was amazing
I'm a wizard🧙♂️ (the editor)
@@Senpai Is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface good for just talking in discord no streaming or anything
Based on the website description for this USB hub, I'm betting the answer is that it isn't recommended, but my biggest gripe with the Prompter and Facecam (I have the MK2) is that they need dedicated ports to work consistently. I've seen people not have issues if using them in a Thunderbolt dock, but regular USB C/3.0+ ports don't seem to have the bandwidth you need to run them simultaneously.
I haven’t had issues with using the prompter on a hub (mine right now is sharing a hub with a capture card and running fine) but I always have problems with Elgato webcams and hubs. They just really eat bandwidth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For studio pre and post music studio use, the USB hub will be handy for easily connecting a bunch of controllers over one port.
5GB's is fine for multiple control devices.
I’m definitely in the half of people that think the combo product is incredible. Still on the GoXLR after all these years and I think this is one of the best options I’ve seen for when I finally go to replace my current setup
The USB hub is a major major plus. I dont know how many Streamers I have had to tell one of the biggest things they need to focus on when building/buy a new stream PC is their USB inputs, especially if you're doing specialty content, like Vtubers or play Simulators. Controllers, Keyboards, Mic, Cameras, and Microphones start to add up quick, before you know it you are out of ports. My guess is Elgato figured a lot of folks already have the Wave XLR and Stream Deck Plus, so now those folks can just plug all of their fancy Elgato ecosystem into the back of this one hub. That's super cool.
I completely agree, personally i wanted a wave xlr i just didn't want it taking up space xD so i only had stream deck +, so that ones perfect for me. But the usb hub, while its absolutely great especially with the chip inserts onside ability to charge laptop ect all in one....which is great for portability n productivity. However for home setup? I believe its better to buy / install one into desk / attached to desk behind keyboard or on bottom front of desk for convenience. I have one infront of my desk underneath for usb drives ect and multiple under monitor for everything else
Pretty cool. Missed opportunity though. The XLR addon clearly could of been bigger. Feel like they could of combined the XLR and USB and SD Card Reader hub into one device. If they would do that for say $150 it might convince me to move all my stuff over to Elgato. Instead they make you choose. If anything they should of had a third combo device option. Maybe in the future?
Gotta wait for ppl to buy this, so they can waste more money later to upgrade 🤑
If you really want to have an all in one then you should wait. Elgato makes amazing products but I hate to say it when it comes to stuff like this it really is just something you'll buy then they won't say anything about it but a few years later they will make an XL version or something and you'll "have" to buy that.
It's only a matter of time until Elgato makes a fully fledged audio mixer combining the best of every world and essentially making a GoXLR but with an Elgato touch, dials, faders, LCD stream deck keys, a usb and XLR control hub on the back, etc. That will be the most premium product they will ever make.
I've been saying it for years and it is what the people want, it will take a while but it will come out eventually. Wait for that.
Hold up, you can plug the other streamdecks into the back of the USB hub streamdeck plus? If so that's a game changer.
I panicked for a sec, bought the stream deck plus 3 weeks ago. Nice to see an upgrade. Wave link is super handy
just bought mine recently too LOL, was scared until I found out it was an add-on, now definitely will look into it
The Hub plus the interface in one product would have been amazing 😱
Would have made too much sense
Definitely going to need a full setup video on this setup 👍🏾
The only downside with this is the lack of USB-A ports. There should be another row above the current one that has only USB-A ports since even though everyone likes to think USB-C is the only one anyone uses, most devices including all the Elgato products still use USB-A. So I'd like to have another row just for that.
That USB hub is huge for a setup like mine. New MOBOs don't usually have the total number of ports I actually need. I've been lucky enough to chat from time to time with a few folks at Elgato I met when associated with Visuals By Impulse, and this was one of my biggest asks when they asked "what product do you want next?". I love that they're just incorporating it into a device I already have, instead of taking up more desk space!
Gread adds to the SD+, i'm gong for the USB Hub 'cause my mac mini ports are insufficient, and also, i love the wave XLR dial XD
If you're starting out I think it's a decent option. I'll never need one because I'm using a Rodecaster Pro 2 to feed mic and audio to my personal rig and a work laptop. Your mileage of course will vary.
Yooo the background is so sick
❤
i just saw this in the wave link software update and wanted to cry after just buying the streamdeck new 3 months ago and as an owner of the xlr with coil whine problem
Thanks for the video, Harris. The XLR dock will solve a small problem that has existed within my Livestream set-up for about 12 months. 🙏
Kinda huge! Love to see how Elgato gets to solve different problems and simplify their product lines!
Unfortunately, I already have the WaveXLR, so I guess Ill just sit with that 😅
Glad they forgot about us, with our shitty inaccurate volume dial 🤮
Oh get out of here with that seamless transition of added info and then back into the video!! That was way too cool, thanks for the video Harris.
I got an email about these this morning and I like them, but I dont think I could go with the xlr one since I already have an SSL2 interface.
I just bought the Wace XLR like two week ago..... luckily on a discount, so its fine
how do you tie this in with your headset? do you still use the steelseries arctis nova pro wireless? i have that headset with a go xlr dual pc setup and a go xlr mini for the second pc so i can hear audio from both pc's. is something like that possible with this? (if not elgato should come out with an audio jack input output back module lol)
VERY glad you can just add it onto your already-existing Stream Deck, since I had JUST bought one and worried that I may have messed up...
Definitely something I'd like to look into!
the first product i can see the appeal but i would like having the extra knob now the dock thats very useful
This is sick. If only I didn't already have a GoXLR and USB hub that I already got for my setup. Might use this for my wife's setup, or a 2nd PC, don't know yet, but I know I want it.
The wife is going to get the old but true setup. That helped you succeed. You got this
As someone that is using the BEACN mice, the USB dock is probably the one that most of us could use. I'll be using it to run my camlink pro.
It's a must have for those who already have the deck+
alright, I think my goxlr will now leave my desk in favor of this. I wanted the simplicity of the elgato ecosystem but i didnt wanna buy a stream deck + wave xlr. I waited and thought "maybe they're eventually doing something with the stream deck." and here it is!
As someone that switched to elgato from goxlr. Looking at a streamdeck+, wavexlr and steelseries DAC kinda of an eye sore all stacked in a corner. that attachment is one less thing to look at stacked up on my desk. I considered getting into 3D printing just to make a tray for that mess 🤣
@@seryooh I used to have a steelseries DAC on my desk as well, but when my old headphones were slowly dying I got myself a new one only to find out it hurt like shit to wear for some reason, so i ultimately switched to the latest logitech one lol
Anyways, how do you like the wavexlr in combination with whatever mic you're using?
Any tips for someone that is waiting for his streamdeck + xlr dock to arrive? :D
@@venilc yeah i read reviews the steelseries have discomfort issues mostly in ear or on the top band for some people. I ordered the wicked cushions gel cooling earpads to fix that issue.
the combo works and is detected the same on your pc as if u had the gen1 wave xlr so its plug n play. the goxlr software just seemed outdated compared to the elgato ecosystem. i have the shure sm7b and noticed zero difference. tested it out on discord and in game and everything was same as before the upgrade.
@@seryooh That sounds great! I also have the sm7b and was wondering if there could be any noteable difference. I don't know much about audio stuff so I figured that the elgato software might be more of a streamlined experience compared to what I currently have with the GoXLR.
There probably will be some adjustments I have to do, but those should be minor and easier in comparison to my current setup.
Can't wait to set everything up when my stream deck arrives next week.
And yes, the steelseries does have comfort issues, I used mine with my old hyper-x earcups but when those eventually were barely hanging on I tried other ones which sadly didn't feel comfy enough.
I then tried their latest headphones but they also had the same issues and were barely useable for me.
@@venilc the only real tip i have that will save you hours of research is if your having sound/mic issues check in windows sound settings under "input" > "device properties" > "additional device properties" > "advanced" make sure the sample rate matches the sample rate in the wave link software.
-After software and windows updates it will sometimes switch the sample rates and youll be so confused as to why it wont work. more than likely sample rate mismatch.
-in the same windows settings next to advance is the "listen" tab, make sure to select "listen to this device" if you want to hear your own voice. you wont find it in wavelink software.
- also dont turn on 48v phantom power in the wavelink software.
If I didn't already have a wave xlr and stream deck xl I would be buying the combo. My wave XLR just sits under my desk, I designed a bracket I 3d printed to mount it so its not just hanging.
Replacing the go xlr was exactly what I was thinking when I saw this. I hate how difficult go xlr makes audio routing within OBS (not being able to mute vod track, etc.., since it all runs through the broadcast stream mix and all)
love the new color grading on your Cam Scenes!
The USB Hub one is super dope
Dude that’s so cool I hold but one but I have a plus and a go clean which isn’t dead. I’m so happy tc helicon came back and are updating their products again.
If they released the hub for the XL? Ooooooooooohhhhhhh.
Streamdeck Plus XL with USB Wave XLR Combo attachment, the ULTIMATE Streamdeck
id buy the hub right now if it was available for the XL. even if it coast $20 more.
@@kebabgud damn , if only i had all of these things, a 3D printer, some CAD software and iFixit kit.
That edit where you corrected yourself on the transfer speed was brilliant! I had a mini nerd moment there.
been honestly looking to replace my GoXLR mini for a while now.
this feels like a honestly good choice
As someone with a very cramped desk, every inch matters. So anytime I can free up space, I'm down. As usual, Elgato doing it right. Super cool stuff
I saw this video and immediately ordered one. I have been toying with the Wave XLR for so long to replace my GoXLR but this made it so easy.
2 days after the release of this video is how long it took me to order the bundle they have going on for $300, thank you. i am excited for it to come in the mail and pair it with my Shure mv7+, going to replace my scarlet solo :)
That's an incredible product it makes sense
I love literally all the ports and the fact they put SD card reader I'm sold
It's an all in one
Once my GOLXR dies from lack of support I’ll definitely get this.
That been happened. They no longer support the GoXLR
@@JunnyR-qw8jh we just got a an update recently. But no what I mean is windows will keep updating and eventually it won’t recognize the GOLXR and won’t be able to communicate with it. In the mean time it is fully functional. Just when window’s accidentally kills it. Then I’ll get this new Elgato.
Thank God I waited. Now I have a reason to get the XLR Dock and Stream Deck Plus as one unit. (versus the separate Stream regular or plus with Wave XLR on the side)
Its bad. it just has Preamp power for the game. all the other stuff of the Wave XLR sucks...
I have a Stream Deck + which is amazing, it really opened up my audio control and there's no way back from here xD But I stuck with my usb mic because I didn't want another peripheral (audio interface) on my desk, so this is a great solution if I were to switch to an XLR device, but I'm also running out of USB ports (having joysticks, multiple keyboards, multiple audio outputs and a bunch more), so being able to convert an already owned piece of hardware into a usb hub without giving up desk space is also great! Finally justifies the weird angle of the original connection location too imho
As a Mac user of the stream deck plus I NEED them to do a stream deck plus add on that does stereo out. If I could just run my speakers out of the deck that would be amazing.
My only issue with the XLR dock for the stream deck+ is that I was eying Elgato's mic bundle (XLR dock, mic, arm) and picking up a Stream deck+ separate, but now I'm rethinking that idea and doing budget math to see what to pick up now
i would get the Bundle me personally and getting the Stream Deck + w/ the USB Hub
I still dont have a Mic Arm so if a Bundle like that existed when i bought mine i would have gotten that instead
To me it would be game changing if the Stream Deck + would have two XLR inputs and with two USB ports that would allow USB Mics to be captured and controlled with it.
Elagto makes Awesome products. I like how they focus on simplicity and ease of use ✌️
Hopefully they make a stream deck xl variant in the future. If they somehow can combine all 3 pieces into one device I’d insta buy
this is amazing, when i decide to upgrad to an xlr (when my Hyper x quadcast dies eventually) I can now just mod my stream deck plus to have xlr support and not have to buy another device that hogs another usb port (that i dont have cos i have 2 stream decks (regular mk1 and stream deck +)
If they somehow do it to every other stream deck excluding the mini and neo then I will be amazed. For someone who need a desk clean and not having a usb port on the desk will be amazed by how the team thought of it now. This will probably be a game changer
The XLR setup is a clean way to go for sure. But for me it's the USB hub for sure. I've been looking for a clean way to add a USB hub to my setup and fits in on unusable space on the back of my stream deck + perfect sign me up lol.
Well now we know Elgato has this, and they can continue to make variations of those. Next should just be an HDMI input for easy dual PC setup, but really has not limits to what they can put behind one of those
This is cool but I already have a stream deck mk. 2 and a wave xlr. Maybe when I move and have to redo my desk setup I'll consider it.
The check part at the end sent me. LMAO
Yay I sent through a request a while back that the streadeck plus should have a hub because being a Mac user I’m always out of ports and having two stream decks without a dock was pretty much impossible with all the other bits required to actually stream. So I hope it’s powerful enough to run my stream deck XL and pedal.
Nice! I’m moving my recording/streaming setup back to where I had it originally. It’s not at my desk, because I like my desk in the background and I don’t like the reverse look. So… I’m hiding my gear in plain sight. Anything that makes the footprint smaller is so appreciated. Odd going to take a while for me to decide this is for me… maybe, but it does give me another option
I think I want this. I’ve been using a mbox mini for my mic. Less stuff on my desk would be nice. But lately wave link likes to reset everything. It’s so annoying that it almost makes me want to look at using something else. But damn when it works it works really well
And when Elgato couldn't get any better. Thank you for the video.
The look and flow of this video feels a bit different than normal and I really like it. Love the color of the a-roll
We’ve been toying around with some new colors recently for some upcoming projects. This one felt like the style I’ve been looking for for years. I’m so pumped you noticed 🥹
I kid you not, if the XLR had a second output for a set of speakers as well as for headphones, this would fit exactly what I've been looking for for ages.
I'm so hyped to pickup the hub for my setup. I've been wanting a way to just simplify how all my stream stuff is connected and that hub is going to be the ticket!
I am torn because I actually want both to these products. On the one hand, I would love for my stream deck and my xlr to be one device, on the other hand, I like that usb hub. I do like the idea that all of my Elgato stuff could be coming out of one port.
An upgrade like that for the Stream Deck XL would be nice. The Stream Deck + just doesn't have enough buttons from the start.
The reason I haven’t switch is the smaller on xlr I love clipping peoples voices and playing them back to them and using them as sounds in my discord
@senpai dude i jumped into the video because of the streamdeck. But what really for me was Milanote. The software sounds awesome. I usually do my videos off the cuff but an working on a new channel that i need to put more preparation into abs that's exactly what i needed. BTW it's not the first sponsor of yours that i have used. You find those great products abs bring them in as sponsors and sometimes mean more to me than the product your making the video about. I think i currently use 3 of your sponsors maybe more. Thanks again.
Figures I would regret getting the Wave XLR back in January. I'm hoping to pick up the bundle but I also NEED those different colored dials.
I have the complete opposite setup where my mic goes from a wave xlr with all the eq done on that to the beacn mix create where I manage my audio
Go XLR is still software supported, the development team is in Denmark now and they’re still working on the next generation (so they have stated).
nice not gonna lie i dont know which one to choose and now I'm tempted to buy another one just so I can do it like u did damn u harris lol
Does the new Stream Deck Plus with XLR have enough gain for dynamic mics?
I've seen it on your setup video and was wondering for the whole time what it was, insane 🤯
In itself, this product sounds very promising, but my personal complaints are that it only has a normal headphone input, which, once broken by mine, meant I had to buy a new one, so I would prefer a quarter inch one, simply because it's just robuster. But the real crux is the headphone performance, especially the monitoring, which is so bad compared with the ID4 II, so I unfortunately renounce.
Thanks for the great explanation Harris! I'm so excited about these upgrades. Let's hope there is an upgrade coming that will replace the Camlink....and while we're at it, let's make sure it can connect more than one camera and act as a camera switcher! Can you send that note to them for me please? :)
Can you do a breakdown of how you have things setup in your software? A guide of some sorts to follow!
I just bought a Stream Deck+ on Prime Day, had I known this would be a thing I would have waited for that, then I could just replace my Wave Link and/or one of my Stream Deck Minis
im wondering if the USB hub would work for the audio in a dual pc setup ?
Nice little additions there, might look into this.
That's great and all but I'm still waiting for Elgato to play nice with my Focusrite ASIO gear. Every time I wake my PC from sleep (Win 11) I have to terminate and relaunch WaveLink and StreamDeck software for the audio dials to work. And if I leave virtual instruments (VSTs) running for too long I get audio crackles. Problems disappear when WaveLink is removed or bypassed.
So.
It's basically everything I was asking for out of a Wave XLR Pro.
This is *awesome.* I’m still using a usb mic but maybe in the future since I already have the deck+….
Edit: oh shit I might need that usb dock. That’s awesome. Especially the SD card slot. I don’t have one of those and my adapter is usb-c so I can’t put it in my streaming computer 😅
Are you going to make a Video on how GoXLR moved software updating to their team in Denmark and now the GoXLR is no longer dead but is actively being updated?! Pretty awesome I'm glad i purchased one.
A week ago I was thinking how they need to consolidate and catch up with the Bridgecast/other models. They could still do a bit more it looks like.
with goxlr releasing an update that adds submixes to the software would you stick with it if someone has it already or switch to something like this new release from elgato?
Next they need a Frankin-Deck - A Stream Deck+ combined with a Stream Deck XL with the Power-UPS and XLR base on the back. maybe a couple Cam Links too! 👀
 I have a stream deck and the wave XLR, and when I saw this, my first thought was two products in the space of one! I need to buy this. But I can’t because I don’t want cables running all the way across my desk so that the stream deck is easy to reach nor do I want to reach all the way across my desk so I can reach the stream deck, look at your set up, which looks really clean, no cables everywhere, but it looks like form over function. I have my stream deck right to the left of my keyboard so that I can easily manipulate. Isn’t it a bit counterintuitive to make things easy access and then put them across your desk so you have to reach over to use them?
this is great and all - but when can we get some software updates that allow us to do simple things like...switch our stream deck profile based on our OBS scene, or things like that?
now I just need the elgato + + XLR to come with another row of buttons and knobs so 3x4 + 2x4 and might as well double the touch screen size too. so it'll be the elgato + + XL XLR
just bought this after watching! If i love anything, its simplicity lol
Amazing stuff from Elgato. I just picked up the Stream Deck + on Prime Day and have been wanting a good XLR interface that doesn't break the bank. This solves that issue with a bow on top.
Really interested how you set up the wavelink software with the Decks you have now.
