Big Sound, Little Mixer
At the heart of a MCaster Studio is some serious sound-shaping horsepower. Choose between an array of different ContourFX Presets that can add anything from thunderous depth to sparkly angelic tones to your voice, with the turn of a single knob. Dial it in just right with the ContourFX control on each channel. Try each profile preset and find your signature sound.
Choose Your Mood Lighting
Everyone knows that slick RGB lighting is what really makes your computer run faster (not really), so Mackie made sure that MCaster Studio provides that extra LED-fueled oomph that you require. All along the bottom is an LED strip with tons of gorgeous colors from which you can choose.
The Finishing Touches
Want to add a little audio flair to your stream? How about punching up your vocals to get the hype train really moving? MCaster makes it easy with fun StreamFX voice changing effects that you can activate at the turn of a knob. Get creative and turn your voice into a robot, or add some space with a massive reverb.
Size Matters
The smaller the better—MCaster Studio's compact design makes it easy to find a perfect place on your desk for it to live.
USB Yourself
Just plug in with the included USB cable, tweak a couple software settings, and boom, you've got that MCaster sweetness direct to your computer. Easily integrate a phone caller into your stream by utilizing the phone input, and automatic Mix Minus will make sure the caller hears only you without feedback from his or her own voice.
Delicious Sound Bites
Everyone loves a well-timed sound effect, sample, song, etc. and MCaster Studio makes it easy to slide one into your stream. Store audio files directly on to MCaster Studio and instantly play them back via four dedicated Sample Trigger buttons. Feeling inspired in the moment? Record an effect directly on to MCaster Studio at any time.
Doesn't Look Like a Wireless Headset, But Loves to Act Like One
You are probably no stranger to Bluetooth. MCaster Studio uses that tech to connect to any Bluetooth-compatible device to both receive and send audio, just like a wireless headset would. This is perfect for on-the-go streaming and recording or just eliminating a cable from your setup.
