TC-Helicon GO XLR MINI Reviews

The Default Recommendation

I've been using this product for a few years now, and it's been an absolute treat to use. Simple, effective and robust, I recommend the GoXLR to anyone looking to get into streaming or podcasting as the best bang for your buck in the market. The only criticism I have is that the software can be a little buggy at times, and rarely receives support. That being said, this is one of those products that unequivocally deserves your hard earned money.

Good Product

The only reason its not all a five star rating is due to the lack of a de-esser, the rest of the product works exactly as it should. The software is also pretty good.

very impressed with this audio interface

So I have several audio interfaces boughgt in about 8+ years - this one shines especially for podcasting but I bought it because I have many business calls. It has intergrated compressor , Gate and EQ - even with my mic which is very low output ( Shure SM7B ) it sounds great ) - everyone hears me perfect.

Controls are great feeling. Software is working fine without any issues. It's powered by USB too.

I love it.

Not much to say about this, it does everything I expected it to do and makes managing my PC audio setup infinitely easier. I will however know two points off for two reasons, one, I cannot remap the censor button sound effect to anything I want, which should be possible to do with software, and two, more often than I would like it will just stop being the default audio device in windows for no reason. This may be a problem with Windows, or it may be a problem with the drivers who knows. But overall, I recommend it to anyone who wants to use and XLR mic with thei PC.

Great interface let down by shoddy software

As an audio interface itself, it is slick and easy to use. You can asssign different applications to each of the different channels handled by the interface, individually controlling volume or muting. It's a convenient mixer if you stream.

Unfortunately, I noticed a great deal of problems that occur in the software itself. It often stops functioning randomly and requires frequent restarts of the software itself. Occasionally the settings you change are not saved as well. I am unsure if this is caused directly by the app, or faulty drivers.

Still, for the price it's better than most you can find.

Love the item but useless without activator for SM7B

Despite all the preaching that its preamps are powerful enough for SM7B -- they are not. Unless you are a streamer, having gain at 90% and playing music/game in the background. Otherwise, for my purposes (live + talking only), its just not powerful enough. If I max the gain, hiss is unbearable. If I lower gain, I'm too silent. So ended up buying mic activator.

Also, bear in mind -- it will always have LED lights on, unless you unplug it or make a light profile with all the lights off and change it manually when you want it off.

Besides that specific issues, I love the product.

This product is very excellent and it was one of my wishes

LOVE IT*

This works perfect. Good Quality!

You get what you pay for. Maybe more.

very good from my review

Best Deal You Will Find

On one of the best XLR inputs you can buy

Haven’t received yet but had one in the past! 10/10

Haven’t received it yet but had a go XLR before and they’re a good bit of kit! Would recommend for streaming and just simplifying daily use on a pc!

Perfect for streamers

So many features for a very little price, an excellent first step to XLR.

this is the best mixer in the world

hi

this is the best mixer in the world

the best

Super happy

5/5 On everything except features, its a mini version, and doesent have the same features as the big version, but what do you expect at such a cheap price, knowing its the mini version? 5/5

Perfect starting point

As an entry level item for streaming/gaming/voip this has worked brilliantly for me.

Expect some time to get everything set up and a few weird things in software.

Only negative that keeps happening for me is that the assignment of output streams dont always play nice in software. For instance, opening a youtube clip will send sound to default output till I refresh page, then it will send it to the output I have set in windows settings.

2 units have had a malfunctioning 3.5mm headphone jack within months of purchase

As the title reads. The 3.5mm jack in the front for the headphone output has been the cause for 2 rma requests. Everything else has been great. Initial setup is a bit gimmicky with the drivers and TC-Helicon support basically being their discord isn't optimal but works.

It has only been used at home for general chat, educational use.

Perfect

Thid is a great machine for streaming. I am using it every day and i am really happy with it!

thanks for this very good things

thanks for this very good things

Good value for performance

Very good product for the price that I paid for! I spent a long time trying to get my audio sorted out for streaming and this ticks every single box for me, not once had a problem with my audio since.

Mac support is no available

This is a very good sound mixer especially for streamers but beware that there is no such support for MACOS.

I did tons of research on this product and watched hours of content about it and no one mentioned that goxlr does not support MACOS.

Even on their product page, there is a tiny declaration about windows only support.

I did not expect this and I have wasted my money.
