- Prawn here with my review of the @SteelSeries Alias Pro XLR microphone. In this video I'm going to show you the setup of the Alias Pro, what's included in the box and all the things you can do with SteelSeries GG to make it sound better and access all sorts of other cool settings for streaming and content creation.
The SteelSeries Alias Pro is a fantastic microphone that not only sounds good but also has some interesting capabilities, thanks to GG, which allow you to not only customise the sound of your microphone but also of your friend's mics, your game audio and more. You can have different volume levels for your stream and for yourself and do so much more than many other mics out there. It's pretty epic.

Other things to know about the SteelSeries Alias Pro:

You can add shortcuts to mute to audience
Button customisation for volume wheel and mute button
You have to manually ADD each channel to stream mix!
You can “listen” to the audience mix levels in Sonar before going live
As standard it picks up a lot of background noise

Nice microphone 🎙️🎤
Your videos are so informative. Thank you for taking the time to make these. Two questions for you. My first questions is, is the included xlr cable long enough to run through the wire runs in the rode psa or should I order a longer cable. Secondly, If I have the nova pro wired, do they plug into the microphone base as well?
Yes and yes
could anyone tell me how he was getting mic side tone through the headset wireless?
Run a 3.5mm connection from the mic controller to the headset base station
@@TheProvokedPrawn ok. i did try that earlier but i can only hear sidetone when i switch the source into aux but then i lose all sound to my pc
ok i got it working, i had to set it up through streamer mode 👍 thanks for the reply!
It seems like a good mic, but there are a lot of plosives, I was thinking getting this one, but I may get better the Rodemic USB, MV7, 2nd hand SM7b with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 gen 3 or gen 4, but the software seems really impresive
Anyway, great video;)
Yep. Plosives are atrocious with this mic. It essentially has NO pop filter (the fabric does nothing to block wind noise). And because of the way it's built that's just inexcusable. No one wants to slide a windscreen over this and completely ruin the look - baffles my mind why SteelSeries didn't just put a decent built in pop filter on this thing. It's so disappointing.
It was so bad in my testing that it was picking up wind noise from my overhead ceiling fan. Literally NO other mic I've ever used have ever had this issue.
If I sound frustrated it's because I was - lol. I really wanted to like this mic because I've been using SteelSeries GG software for over a year and it's amazing. I wanted to couple that with their new mic and had high expectations. Unfortunately, the plosives killed this mic for me. It does have some other really cool features but the sensititivity to wind noise just ruins it, imo.
are the alias and alias pro made of metal?
no plastic
Kaliteli bir mikrofon Şahsen ben beğenmedim yapısı ve tarzı Hiç güzel yapılmamış Ayrıca tripoda da takması Bence olmayacak gibi burada çok ses kalitesine önem vermişler fakat hiç tarzına ve duruşuna önem göstermişler👎
