BEACN Mix Create
A professional-grade streaming audio controller with advanced routing, drag and drop simplicity, volume control, mute modes, and submix capabilities. It’s perfect for streamers who want to deliver one mix to their audience while listening to a different mix themselves. If you're looking for an alternative to another controller like GoXLR, BEACN Mix Create delivers.
BEACN Studio
BEACN Studio is a professional-grade XLR interface built for streamers and podcasters who demand pro-level sound and workflow flexibility. Designed from the ground up for streaming, with a custom “no-noise” preamp for dynamic and condenser mics, dual USB-C ports for an industry-first dual PC audio approach, and the same real-time processing engine found in BEACN Mic, including EQ, compression, expander/gate, and adaptive noise suppression.
BEACN Mix
A powerful, creator-friendly audio controller that gives you independent control of any PC audio source: game, music, chat, alerts, Discord, browser audio, and more — all adjustable without alt-tabbing out!

People Also Ask Us...
What is the best audio gear for streamers?
The best audio gear for streamers includes a high-quality microphone or XLR interface, a reliable mic arm, and an audio controller that allows independent control of game audio, music, chat, alerts, and mic levels. BEACN Mic (or BEACN Studio if you already have a preferred XLR mic) BEACN Mic Stand, and BEACN Mix or Mix Create together create the ultimate streaming setup!
What is the best audio setup for live streaming?
A strong streaming audio setup typically includes:
- A broadcast-quality USB microphone or XLR interface with streamer-first features
- A stable mic stand for proper placement
- An audio controller or mixer for real-time adjustment
- Real time noise reduction, compressor, expanders, and other effects like a full EQ for cleaner vocals
Most streamers are able to achieve a professional sound using a USB mic that already has all of that built-in processing and DSP (like BEACN Mic or BEACN Studio) paired with a BEACN Mix Create device for live control.
What audio mixer do most streamers use?
Most streamers these days use creator-focused audio controllers instead of bulky traditional mixers. Popular options include:
- BEACN Mix for simple, drag and drop control
- BEACN Mix Create for advanced routing, submixes, and dual outputs
- GoXLR for control with a XLR built into the mixer
- Elgato Stream Deck for macro control of keybinds
These are preferred over traditional mixers because they integrate seamlessly with Windows and Mac, and make it easier for people to control their streaming workflows, no matter how advanced or simple!
What is the best mic for streaming?
First of all, we always like to say that best gear is the gear you can afford and understand how to use at the moment! That said, when it comes to the general consensus, the best mics for streaming deliver broadcast-quality clarity, background noise control, and customizable DSP in a simple setup.
BEACN Mic stands out because it includes real-time DSP (EQ, gating, compression, noise suppression), making it extremely flexible and beginner-friendly while still being professional-grade.
That being said, there are a TON of amazing mics out there like the Shure SM7B, the RE20, and more that you can connect to BEACN Studio to bring all of that amazing processing to your favorite current XLR microphone!
What is the best audio streaming device for creators?
Streamers need a device that gives them precise control over all audio sources independently. BEACN Mix and BEACN Mix Create are considered top-tier options because they allow you to adjust game audio, music, chat, browser audio, and your mic separately — all with tactile knobs and clear visual feedback.
Do I need an audio interface for streaming?
Not necessarily. USB microphones with onboard DSP eliminate the need for an interface. BEACN Mic gives you full control over EQ, gating, compression, and noise reduction without requiring external hardware. However, if you've already chosen your favorite XLR mic, you can pair it with BEACN Studio for full control and customization.
Is a USB or XLR mic better for streaming?
Ahhh the age old question. And the answer is...it depends on how it was built! USB mics with onboard DSP give most streamers the best balance of quality and simplicity. They require fewer components and integrate better with digital workflows. XLR is more customizable but requires more hardware, which is why we made BEACN Studio, our creator XLR interface.
How do I get rid of background noise on a stream?
To reduce background noise:
- Use a mic with strong DSP noise suppression
- Position the mic close to your mouth
- Enable gate/expander features
- Use a cardioid pickup pattern
BEACN Mic and BEACN Studio handle most of these automatically through onboard processing. If you want to read more about using these features to eliminate echo, check out our article on that here!
FAQs
No. All processing is done onboard with advanced DSP. If you need an audio interface though, we built BEACN Studio as our XLR creator interface that connects via USB-C to give you the full processing power of BEACN Mic on any XLR mic that you bring to the table!
Yes. All BEACN products are designed for streamers at any level. Check out our reviews page to see testimonials from people ranging from huge creators to people just starting their journey into streaming.
Yes — it’s optimized for multi-PC and complex routing scenarios. We have a ton of people using it for this, though you will still need to make sure to follow our guide for 2 PC setups using BEACN Mix Create as there are a few things to consider. For full control over a 2 PC setup, you might want to consider BEACN Studio (we even put together this article explaining how it works!).
That's a tough one to answer! If you're just starting out, we generally recommend BEACN Mic and BEACN Mic Stand, as they work perfectly together as a relatively plug-and-play solution via USB, plus you can unlock the Advanced Mixing Suite within BEACN App to get a sense for how to better control your stream audio.
If you're wanting full control at your fingertips with drag and drop usability, we recommend stepping up your game and grabbing BEACN Mix Create.
Finally, if you already have a preferred XLR microphone and want the full power of BEACN's processing to use with it, you'll want to grab BEACN Studio. It also unlocks a powerful dual PC audio approach that is the first of its kind!
The short answer is yes, especially when you combine BEACN Studio with BEACN Mix Create.
The long answer is a bit more nuanced. GoXLR has some features that we don't, such as sampling and voice effects so if you absolutely need those features then you'll need to find a workaround using tools like VoiceMod.
However, BEACN Studio offers a ton of other features that GoXLR doesn't provide. It has a 2 PC audio routing setup that gets rid of 3.5mm cables and ground loop isolators. All you need to do is plug 1 USB cable into your host PC, and the other USB cable into your secondary PC. You're ready to go from there! Plus, we offer submixes, multiple mute modes, drag and drop simplicity with an easy to view screen, infinity scroll knobs, and more! In fact we've had so many people want to replace GoXLR with BEACN gear that we made a custom bundle called the Come To BEACN Bundle. We also have industry leading support post-purchase via our Discord which GoXLR doesn't offer anymore.
