Hercules Stream 200 XLR Black 9 buttons Control type: Buttons Rotary

Hercules Stream 200 XLR is an audio controller with a built-in sound card that lets streamers separate the audio mix they hear from the mix sent to their audience. The device includes an LCD screen and supports multiple sources — games, chat software, music, XLR microphone, game console, second computer and more — so you can monitor and adjust each track independently for yourself and for viewers.

Advantages

The unit provides real-time control of multiple audio sources with easy access to mute and volume controls. Four assignable action buttons allow quick execution of common tasks such as multiple mute, URL launch or scene change. Customizable VU meters, profile management and user images make the device adaptable to different setups. Integrated software with pre-configured support for popular streaming apps simplifies setup and operation.
