As the Impress e-Sports Department, we regularly deliver articles such as "For Gachi-kun!" and "Have you prepared your mourning clothes!?" I posted it (see related article at the end). However, they were mainly aimed at improving image quality. This time, I would like to introduce TC HELICON's audio interface "GoXLR", which is equipped with various useful functions for broadcasters.
The important thing for distribution, not just for games, is the fun of the content itself, such as good talk, useful content, and super play in the game. However, there is nothing better than good image quality and sound quality. Real-time streaming for several hours in a row is rough, so if the image quality and sound quality are not good, the viewers will get tired.

So what can be done to improve the sound quality? But getting a good mic isn't the end of the story. Volume balance and reduction of reverberation and environmental noise are also modest but important factors.
The GoXLR introduced this time is able to connect an external microphone and achieve this. At its core, GoXLR is a USB audio interface with mixer functionality, but it's so versatile that it's hard to sum up this product category. In addition to improving sound quality, it also has various fun and useful functions. The price is a little over 40,000 yen, but it has more functions than the price.
