Mackie MCaster Live Portable Streaming Mixer (Black)

Podcasters and content creators looking for an easy to use audio solution for their solo live stream on their mobile devices will be thrilled with the black Mackie M•Caster Live, a streaming mixer that connects through your smartphone's headphone jack to both send and receive audio, as well as take phone calls with mix minus.

Simply plug in your favorite XLR mic, gaming headset, or 3.5mm lavalier mic, sweeten the sound with the onboard ContourFX and StreamFX, and you're ready to stream in minutes. The ContourFX provides fast sound-shaping and enhancement through its presets, letting you focus on your stream rather than your sound. If you want more creative effects, the StreamFX offers fun voice-changing effects that are just as simple to use.

The M•Caster Live includes a variety of features such as dedicated headset and media player inputs, USB connectivity, an XLR mic input with phantom power, and user-selectable RGB lighting that looks amazing in any streaming setup. If you're on the move, just plug in an external USB battery pack and you're good to go with an incredible mobile streaming platform.
