I'm keen to hear if any of BEACN's products appeal to you, if so, which ones?

[@mathugg]

The beacon mix create is a great product it looks simpler than a goxlr would it be possible to use an XLR mic such as rod nt1 with this ?

[@mathugg]

Also it takes less space

[@SUPERICEMANJR]

Mix Create could be really useful

[@SUPERICEMANJR]

@@mathugg 18:16 looks like that's a yes

[@FriarPop]

Mix create if any. Seems legit.

[@gillythecatt]

Great review as always! I have been eyeing the evolution of BEACN for a few months now I am blown away. That mic sounds premium.

[@Goodgamebro]

Fantastic video that went through a LOT. Excited to get my hands on the mic & Mix Create!

[@Reztone]

Absolutely incredible I'm definitely gonna grab these for my stream bro, thanks for all the hard work you do man you have honestly made my whole obs and streaming career so much easier, your a legend mate keep up the amazing work

[@horg7203]

This is the most concise and specific video on the mic I’ve seen so far and I just binged all of them. Fantastic job. I also love the sound profile you got out of it. Most others could just not get it to come close to the RE20 at all. You actually got it to the closest possible to a broadcast sound! I’m buying it based on your settings not the product itself lol

[@SKBY]

I've literally never once regretted subscribing to you! Thank you so much for constantly helping us future and current content creators!

[@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush]

This is a very helpful review, thank you for always leading the way on helping steamers.

[@MamaTamago]

this...is a game changer?? I was super hesitant to get the GoXLR because of the price tag, but the BEACN Mix Create looks super promising. My jaw literally dropped when you showed off the feature of changing the volume while maintaining ratio

[@neonwafflex]

i wish i could have gotten this instead of goxlr ):

[@lastsonofthewest2444]

Excellent review. Just ordered the mic and the mix, neither of which I need (GoXLR and Mojave tube LDC), but Beacn deserves business for these handy products!

[@Tigernemesis]

I'm currently watching the ad before your video and I can tell, just by the thumbnail, that your smile is genuine with this gear 👏

[@BGMatthews]

The EQing and processing done on the mic itself is such a great feature the amount of times my mates and i have talked about sounding good on obs but then sounding bad on discord or in games. Can definitely see that being the main selling point and reason to getting one. As always great video and keep it up man =D

[@INKLORD]

i just like how genuine your showcases are, easy listening and nice for checking review! +1 like

[@EliteArchetype]

gotta love how they are making rlly good mics usb, making them more very user friendly and appeal to a broader audience.

[@marcblythe9500]

Great review video ! I love the mic with built in processing.

[@HelloIamClay]

Really loved this, and it's one hell of a selling piece for BEACN. As a viewer, the only thing that I was really skeptical of (and saw no evidence of) was the claim about it being difficult to clip this mic. I would've loved even just the quickest yell or any other kind of audio spike that would cause other mics to clip.

[@TechZen]

Thanks for another great video!

[@dogukansariturk7641]

damn the mix create looks really great

[@Joey-zy4cs]

I’m definitely interested!! Adding that to the list of equipment to consider!

[@ZackKo]

All of these products look amazing. I've not got the budget given being a full-time smaller streamer and having the go-xlr + sm7b already. I'd definitely be interested in trying them if I were a newer streamer or had the disposable income!

Intriguing!

[@TeliLive]

The microphone sounds really impressive for a USB microphone, just ordered mine to reduce the amount of cable clutter I have and because I don’t have much space for audio interfaces!

[@TWICKS]

I'm excited for this actually. I have the Elgato Wave 3 and I don't actually like using the stream deck to control all my volume. The Beacn Mix Create looks more intuitive for volume control.

[@aaronfisher7159]

As a Goxlr and SM7B user…. These products look fantastic. The software of the mix create looks great

[@JustJay1281]

the mix create is on my wish list. I use a midi controller hooked into Voicemeeter potato (with the extra virtual lines), I find it not only useful when streaming but I find it useful just in day to day of my PC usage. My current setup is functional, and on a budget it does the well job. This does the same job better in a smaller package.

[@lostcause318]

Damn thats impressive! If i wasnt set up with my audio, this would definitely be a buy choice!

[@deadcrossly8873]

seems good to use 🙂

[@dinordi9897]

This seems really promising, I just got a goxlr mini the other day and it has served me well. This could have been a better choice but I wouldn’t be able to use my xlr mic so would have to get another interface.

[@kirklearned]

wow intelligent software. i hope this is the latest smart tech that can fix my audio this simply

[@liamjohnson1783]

they’ve got a lot of work to do. Will come back to them in the future

[@YaBoiJoosh]

Watching a year later and since the GoXLR stuff has stopped being updated or worked on I feel like it might be a solid idea to switch to these devices, I love my XLR microphone (Blue Blackout Spark) and I honestly don't wanna leave it, but I also have faith in the BEACN Mic as a solid choice

[@philipketchum9001]

I really need this as I havent been able to get audio working on my 2 pc setup yet.

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

I have the sm7b and the rodecaster pro and I love that combo.

Hopefully they will be in stock soon. Been sold out for a while now

Hey first of all I want to give you a big thank you for your content and especially this video! And I also wanted to ask you, if you still use the Beacn setup and if you could give us a quick update how your testing for about maybe a year has been. What would your resume be? Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@nolanstone]

When they add VST plugins I'll consider it over my Wave XLR/Podmic setup. Both their mic and mixers seem very promising and pretty darn close to what I'm looking for. The mic is a bit high, but considering the onboard processing it seems a fair price... I'll keep my eye on this company for sure.

[@milanzeeman4454]

can you explain to me on what VST plugin are for audio hardware like the wave xlr ect what for possibilities will you get

[@nolanstone]

@@milanzeeman4454 VST plugins can do everything that he showed that the mic does but WAY WAY WAY more, but its processed in the wavelink software on your PC. You can add all sorts of effects etc. VST plugins are mainly used in music production, and there are probably millions of different plugins. the Wave Link software recently added VST plugin capabilities making it so you can tweak your live audio rather than just in post production. See this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHe7d4SNpNijitE

Sadly it's sold out already. If there is another version in future like Cardioid Microphone for the same in future, it would be perfect I guess. And thanks for your detail introduction for these three new tech-toys, looking forward to grab it very soon :)

[@zathros9427]

Definitely gonna try this out, sounds a lot better than the seiren v2 pro and hopefully the software doesn't make the razer virtual audio cables crash mid stream so I can't hear anything, sadly the mix create is sold out otherwise I would've copped that right away, got the mic tho!

[@Damjan25]

7:20 wtf that is so cool

[@NewYears1978]

Wish they were actually available though... I am considering going back to USB to get these. I started with a cheap mic, went to a Wave 3 and that was cool but had some quirks. Then I upgraded to Rode PodMic with GoXLR mini. But I really like this mic and mixer and think it would be a much simpler setup and gives me submix control which I don't have with GoXLR.

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

The biggest flaw (which is not that big) that i see with products like these is there is never multiple headphone support, or 0 latency mic monitoring for multiple people. Most people dont stream with two people, but for those that do like myself, we have to have either pretty jank setups, or use podcasting/studio control booth equipment. If there was a mix create that had 2 headphone outs, 2 mic ins, 0 latency mic monitoring (so you can hear each other), and 3 sub mixes (audience, headphone 1, headphone 2) then I would snap that up in a heartbeat. That would greatly simplify multi streamer setups, allowing for guests in person to come on stream easily with their own audio mix for their headphones, or for regular duo streams like mine where I and my wife play games taking turns

[@nxahh5077]

[@meyerwhite1427]

MAJOR wish: please do this with Lav mics and an 8 channel system for video live streaming where presenters need to wear a lav rather than sit at a desk mic. It would be invaluable when you consider a stand-alone 8 track live noise suppressor like the Cedar DNS8 cost in the range of £18,000!

[@TheBrohman]

Damn.. Mix Create sold me. When money affords it and I get a new proper computer, I think it is time to stop using Voicemeeter Potato and move to this mic and Mix Create. Thank you for the indepth video on this!

[@HillHomeGaming]

Hmmm I'm using a Yeti X which, with the Logitech software in Ghub, I enjoy where it's at. Unsure if that's worth messing with but the Mix Create seems VERY interesting!! Any thoughts on Yeti vs BEACN mic? Also being able to use Yeti WITH Mix Create adds to its allure for me.

[@jklsjlfkjslkdfjslkf]

[@WatchMysh]

Thanks for the video! Why does this mic sound awful in EposVox's review and here it performs so well? I'm stuck in between buying this one or the Go XLR mini + Rode Procaster. 😕

[@BlueLineVibes]

*Quick Question:* Being a USB Broadcast Dynamic Mic - Is there any latency (meaning a true Zero Latency) to your headset. My headset is not wireless, it is a straight plugin in Hyper X Headphones. I do like to be able to hear myself slightly as it makes for a more natural speaking process, similar to talking on a phone for example. I am hesitant to buy a USB microphone for this reason, I have owned 2 in the past and can't stand not being able to hear my voice slightly in my own ears due to the headphones being slightly noise cancelling.

[@KickedTripodYT]

The latency on BEACN Mic is ~5ms. The range that is considered "true Zero Latency" is between 3ms and 5ms.

[@mrmagou]

Do the additional audio channels create a bit of a problem in OBS? i'd be curious if you could share any information on how OBS works with the new mic and mix create

[@Faelandaea]

I need to track down which video you gave a desk tour on so I can find out which Rode mic arm you are using. I plan to get that, this mic, and the create.

[@magicstu]

Would it be possible if you could you go into more depth about how to setup the mic or mix create for a dual pc streaming setup?? Please. (Yes I have watched the whole video)

[@Meazzy2k]

damn. the mic plus the creator mix is at almost 500€ at this moment ... but when it works like it does in your video it might be worth it

[@MizukiCreates]

Does anyone know if different audio channels can be separately added inside of OBS or if you can only bring in the "Audience Mix".. would be a potential work-around to add OBS audio filters to individual channels if they can still be split up

[@MushaMiniatures]

Thanks a lot! I’ve just installed it and encountered a weird issue on Twitch… when I talk and I have the music on, the music looks laggy and my voice is kinda muted/distorted… it looks like they conflict each other in the output 🤔 any idea?

[@lorathian]

Wonder if you can swap mute modes on the fly so i could, say, mute my mic for Discord separate of OBS for playing, say, Among Us with friends on stream and later be able to mute my mic entirely if i need to step away from my computer for a moment. I see you can change the modes in the BEACN software, but not having to fuss with that mid-stream would be amazing.

[@inkdupslum]

I need this mic ASAP and i just bought a new mic lmao

[@LanceJohn]

Given this comes with a USB C to C cable, I wonder if it work with phones and tablets like the MV7 does. Would you be able to test that out?

[@AlexPfeffer]

Hey, stupid question here, but would I be able to use any existing professional audio card and, for example, route the signal from my RME Fireface from Studio One into BEACN? That would be (just guessing here) the ultimate solution for audio professionals that are also Streamers and KZbinrs.

[@afk9109]

Since the BEACN Mix Create seperates audio throught the windows device preferences, does that mean you could also have one of the beacon channels as a seperate audio source in OBS? I'm looking to have music play in my streams but not on the VOD, I've tried the OBS win-cap plugin but unfortunately it skews the audio of certain games to the point where it's unbearable when I play them

[@Effect2o]

I SO want to get this set up, but i have no more USBs on my PC... What do you recommend to solve that first? A usb hub? Or a usb card? something else? thank you

[@Motodefect13]

Seeing as my GoXLR has been a steaming pile and only getting worse I guess I'll be trying something new

[@David-ym2vk]

These look like they're fairly refined and pointed in the right direction, but I think it was a huge misstep for them to not include a full audio I/O on the back and subseuent internal hardware. If I have a 3.5mm mic like many gaming headsets, it goes through the motherboard dac. There are plenty of motherboards out there with pitiful dac's and some motherboards have poor shielding which has a lot of electrical feedback. If I want to use an xlr mic like many mid-high level streamers do and many people who generally want great mic sound quality, this thing still requires the use of a separate desktop audio interface to plug in the xlr mic. This means it's expensive, not a direct competitor to the goxlr, doesn't solve any problems while unfortunately creating some. It really seems like they're pushing for people to buy into their ecosystem with their first purchase by buying the usb mic and the mix create together to get the optimal experience. Overall, I'm disappointed with the direction they've taken with this and I'll just keep my goxlr and xlr mic as I would have to revamp my setup too much to minor gains with the mix create. I think that's going to be the feeling of many people who already have their audio setup. Big missed opportunity here and I'm surprised it made it this far into the product development and full release without addressing this.

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

The rgb nice though.. wonder if you can still use it with the goxlr

[@Defrag]

I use it with my goXLR, easy peasy. 3.5mm out of BEACN Mic, going into the mic n on the goXLR.
