Elgato XLR Dock for Stream Deck +

A module designed for the Stream Deck + ecosystem: audio "behind," control "in front"

XLR Dock is an extension dedicated to Stream Deck +: it attaches to the back to combine the microphone interface and control surface into a compact format. The idea is simple: audio connections stay at the back (XLR mic, USB), while controls and settings remain at the front via Stream Deck +. The result: a cleaner setup, fewer boxes on the desk, and a faster audio chain to manage daily.

This "two-in-one" approach targets creators who want to centralize their actions (mic level, monitoring, app mixing, scenes, and shortcuts) without sacrificing microphone input quality. Note: Stream Deck + is not included.

Who XLR Dock is for: streaming, podcasting, video calls, voice-over, and compact home studio

If you use an XLR microphone (dynamic or condenser) and want an ultra-direct workflow, XLR Dock allows you to move from a multi-device setup to a more streamlined configuration. It is particularly suitable for streamers, podcasters, home studio musicians, trainers, and video call teams who want clear sound and immediate level control.

Thanks to its high gain, it is adapted to dynamic microphones known to be more "demanding" in amplification, while maintaining a clean sonic signature. And with phantom power, you can use a condenser microphone when you want more vocal detail, a more sensitive capture, or a more "studio" aesthetic.

Audio features tailored for consistently controlled voice

A wide gain range preamp designed for dynamic microphones

With a gain range from 0 to 75 dB, XLR Dock offers a comfortable headroom to bring a dynamic microphone to an usable level without pushing extreme settings. This margin is valuable in streaming, podcasting, or gaming: you keep a present voice even if you speak more softly or if your mic is placed a bit farther away.

48 V phantom power: switch to condenser mic without changing your setup

The 48 V phantom power allows you to connect a condenser microphone and benefit from a more sensitive capture, useful for voice-over, light singing, or detailed takes. You can thus adapt your microphone to your content (interviews, narration, music) while keeping the same control center.

Clipguard: more peace of mind when levels rise

During vocal takes, variations are frequent: laughter, exclamations, sudden mic proximity. The Clipguard technology is designed to limit unpleasant surprises and help preserve a usable signal when levels climb. For creators, this means fewer "redo" takes and more consistency live.

A cleaner desk, more logical cabling

By positioning behind Stream Deck +, XLR Dock reduces clutter and avoids multiplying boxes on the table. You centralize mic capture, monitoring, and control in one workspace, which improves ergonomics, especially in compact setups (small desk, mobile station, shared space).

Customizable controls: an audio workflow tailored to you

The advantage of the Stream Deck + and XLR Dock duo is customization: you can organize your controls to match your habits (adjust mic gain, manage monitoring, control your sources and applications). In practice, you gain speed and reliability: fewer clicks, fewer back-and-forths, more focus on performance or recording.
