This article covers Elgato XLRドック.

Overview

The Elgato XLR Dock is a dedicated XLR microphone interface that attaches directly to the Stream Deck+. It turns your Stream Deck+ into a full-fledged audio mixer with a clean 75dB preamp, phantom power, and clip guard protection. If you already own a Stream Deck+, this module is the most seamless way to add professional XLR microphone support to your streaming or podcasting setup. Installation is tool-free: just snap the dock onto the back of the Stream Deck+, connect your XLR mic, and you're ready to go. The integration with Stream Deck+'s touchscreen and dials lets you adjust gain, mute, and monitor levels without reaching for a separate interface.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The XLR Dock is designed exclusively for the Stream Deck+ (sold separately). It connects via the proprietary expansion port on the rear of the Stream Deck+, requiring no additional drivers on Windows 10/11 or macOS. The XLR input accepts standard 3-pin microphones, including dynamic and condenser types thanks to the +48V phantom power. A 3.5mm headphone output is also included for zero-latency monitoring. All data and power are delivered through the Stream Deck+'s USB-C connection to your computer, so no extra cables clutter your desk.

Product Info

Released in 2024, the Elgato XLR Dock is priced around ¥22,979 on Japan. The package includes the dock unit only; you'll need to supply the Stream Deck+ and an XLR microphone cable separately. Elgato offers a 2-year warranty. Positioned as an entry-to-mid-range audio interface for streamers, it competes with standalone USB interfaces but wins on integration and desk-space efficiency when paired with a Stream Deck+.

Best Use Cases

Streamers and live content creators: If you already use a Stream Deck+, this dock is the most elegant way to upgrade to an XLR microphone. The clip guard automatically prevents distortion from sudden loud noises, which is a lifesaver during intense gaming moments. Podcasters: The ability to control gain and mute directly from the Stream Deck+ dials makes solo or duo recording sessions smoother. Note that it's a single-channel input, so for multi-mic setups you'll need an external mixer. Minimalist desk setups: The dock attaches flush to the Stream Deck+, eliminating extra boxes and cables. This is ideal for creators who value a clean, professional-looking workspace. Not for everyone: If you don't own a Stream Deck+, the total cost (dock + Stream Deck+) may exceed that of a traditional audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Consider your existing gear before committing.
