TC-Helicon GoXLR Mini USB Streaming Mixer and Audio Interface

The TC-Helicon GoXLR Mini USB Streaming Mixer is an all-in-one 24-bit/48kHz audio interface and broadcast mixer built specifically for live streamers, podcasters, and content creators. It establishes multiple independent USB audio devices on Windows, giving you a dedicated fader for each of your most important apps — mic, game audio, music, chat, and more — without ever tabbing out of your stream.

For creators comparing compact audio interfaces for streaming, the GoXLR Mini delivers the same award-winning Midas microphone preamplifier found in professional studio consoles, handling everything from dynamic broadcast mics like the Shure SM7B to condenser and ribbon microphones with ease. Its onboard DSP handles studio-quality EQ, compression, and gating directly in hardware, freeing your CPU for higher frame rates and faster rendering — a critical advantage for any best USB mixer for Twitch streaming or gaming setup. The built-in manual censor and cough buttons keep your broadcast clean and sponsor-friendly in real time.

The GoXLR Mini integrates seamlessly into a professional creator's signal chain. The TOSLINK optical input accepts audio from video game consoles, the XLR input supports +24V phantom power for condenser microphones, and the companion Windows app enables deep customization of lighting, routing profiles, and mute behavior. Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 are officially supported; macOS is not compatible.
