What is included in AX Stream Control?
The AX Stream Control bundle includes 5 main products, with one of each supplied in the finishes shown below. Product accessories and the full connection guide are listed further down.
INCLUDED COMPONENT 1 · QUANTITY 1
RØDE PodMic XLR dynamic microphone — Black
The black PodMic is a dedicated analogue broadcast microphone for podcasting, livestreaming and other spoken-word work. Speak into the end of its grille: the cardioid dynamic capsule focuses pickup toward the front, while the integrated swing mount allows the angle to be adjusted on the boom arm.
- Speech-focused response: RØDE's current product specification lists a 50 Hz–15 kHz frequency range, 320 Ohm output impedance and −57 dBV sensitivity. The microphone connects through a balanced 3-pin XLR output.
- Built-in pop and vibration control: An internal pop filter reduces plosives, and internal shock isolation helps reduce mechanical vibration reaching the capsule. Good microphone distance and placement still matter for a clear recording.
- All-metal construction: A robust metal body and stainless-steel mesh grille suit repeated desk and studio use. The microphone weighs 937 g and measures 172 × 109 × 62 mm.
- Passive dynamic operation: The PodMic requires no phantom power. An audio interface or mixer supplies the microphone preamp and computer connection; the included GoXLR Mini performs that role here.
- XLR model: This is the PodMic XLR, with no USB recording socket, onboard USB DSP or headphone output. Monitor through the GoXLR Mini and use its processing controls.
In AX Stream Control, the black PodMic captures your voice and sends it through the included red XLR3M cable to the GoXLR Mini. Select a dynamic microphone configuration and leave phantom power off.

INCLUDED COMPONENT 2 · QUANTITY 1
TC-Helicon GoXLR Mini USB broadcast mixer — Black
The GoXLR Mini is the control centre for microphone and computer audio in a Windows streaming setup. Its Midas microphone preamp, four physical faders and configurable routing let you set a balance between your voice, game, chat and other supported audio sources.
- Hands-on mixing controls: Four faders, channel mute controls, a cough button and a bleep function keep frequently used actions within reach. The GoXLR app configures channel assignments, routing, mute behaviour and RGB lighting.
- Microphone processing: The Mini provides EQ, compression and gating with 24-bit / 48 kHz conversion. Set microphone gain first, then adjust processing for the voice and room.
- Analogue inputs and outputs: A balanced XLR microphone input is accompanied by 3.5 mm microphone, stereo line-in, line-out and headphone connections. Inserting a plug into the 3.5 mm microphone input disables the XLR input.
- Digital sources and USB power: The rear panel includes a Toslink optical input and USB 2.0 Type-B connection. USB supplies 5 V / 0.5 A power and the computer audio connection; a USB cable is included.
- Phantom-power setting: The Mini provides switchable +24 V phantom power through its app. The dynamic microphone supplied in this bundle does not need it; select the dynamic microphone setting and leave phantom power off.
- Official software workflow: The complete setup uses the GoXLR app on a supported Windows PC. The Mini does not include the full-size GoXLR's sampler or voice-effects section, and official macOS app support should not be assumed.
- Desktop footprint: The unit measures 70 × 132 × 168 mm and weighs approximately 0.68 kg, leaving space for the keyboard and microphone arm.
The black GoXLR Mini supplies the microphone preamp, routes voice and PC audio, and drives the included headphones. Connect it to a supported Windows PC by USB and assign your audio applications in the GoXLR app.

INCLUDED COMPONENT 3 · QUANTITY 1
beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X 48 Ohm open-back headphones
The DT 990 PRO X provides open-back monitoring for speech editing, listening and checking computer audio. Its STELLAR.45 driver has a 48 Ohm impedance, while a detachable cable makes the headphone connection easy to service or replace.
- STELLAR.45 driver: The specified frequency response is 5–40,000 Hz. The open earcups produce an airy presentation that helps when listening for editing details and comparing different parts of a mix.
- Over-ear comfort: Soft velour cushions surround the ears, and the padded headband has a central recess to reduce pressure at the top of the head. The headphones weigh 292 g without the cable.
- Detachable 3 m cable: A locking mini-XLR connector attaches the cable to the headphone. At the equipment end, a 3.5 mm stereo plug and supplied 6.35 mm adapter support common headphone sockets.
- Serviceable construction: Made in Germany with replaceable wear components, including ear pads and headband padding, for ongoing studio and desk use.
- Open-back recording considerations: Sound can escape the earcups and external noise can enter. Keep monitoring at a suitable level near the microphone and use a quiet space. These headphones have no built-in microphone.
- Exact version: This bundle contains the DT 990 PRO X 48 Ohm, rather than the fixed-cable DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm. The driver, impedance and cable design are different.
The DT 990 PRO X connects directly to the GoXLR Mini's 3.5 mm headphone output. Use the mixer and app to set the monitoring mix and level; no 6.35 mm adapter is needed for this connection.

INCLUDED COMPONENT 4 · QUANTITY 1
RØDE PSA1+ microphone boom arm — Black
The PSA1+ suspends the microphone above the desk and lets you move it closer for recording or swing it away when finished. Its parallelogram mechanism keeps the microphone's orientation consistent as the arm moves, while damped springs and neoprene covers help reduce noise from adjustment.
- Supported microphone load: The arm accommodates a combined microphone and mount load from 94 g to 1.2 kg. Include any additional mount or accessory in that total when changing the setup.
- Positioning range: It provides up to 940 mm horizontal reach, 860 mm vertical reach and 360-degree rotation, giving room to place the microphone beside a monitor or keyboard.
- Two mounting methods: A desk clamp and threaded desk insert are supplied. The clamp supports compatible desk surfaces up to 70 mm thick; the insert supports up to 55 mm and requires an appropriate mounting hole.
- Integrated cable management: Cable guides route USB or XLR leads along the arm. Leave a small service loop at the microphone and moving joints so adjustment does not pull on the connectors.
- Microphone fitting and construction: A supplied thread adapter supports common microphone mounting threads. The arm weighs approximately 1.52 kg; use a stable, suitable desk surface and tighten the mounting hardware before positioning the microphone.
The black PSA1+ holds the 937 g PodMic at a consistent speaking position and clears the desk surface. Route the included red XLR cable along the arm while keeping enough slack for movement.

INCLUDED COMPONENT 5 · QUANTITY 1
RØDE XLR3M 3 m premium XLR cable — Red
The XLR3M completes the analogue microphone connection in this bundle. Its 3 m length provides a route from the microphone, along the arm and down to the mixer without adding another cable purchase for that signal path.
- Balanced 3-pin connection: Female XLR connects to the microphone's output, and male XLR connects to the mixer's microphone input. The cable carries the analogue microphone signal between those devices.
- Cable and connectors: RØDE specifies Canare cable with Neutrik connectors and strain relief for repeated studio use. The connectors lock into compatible XLR sockets for a secure connection.
- Routing on the arm: Use the PSA1+ cable guides and leave slack at moving joints and the microphone connector. The cable is 3 m long and one cable is included.
- Exact function: This is an XLR-to-XLR microphone cable. It is not a USB converter, audio interface or headphone cable; the included mixer handles the computer connection.
The supplied cable is fixed to red. Connect its female end to the black PodMic and its male end to the black GoXLR Mini's XLR microphone input. One red cable is included.

Wire and route your Windows streaming setup
- Mount the black PSA1+ and PodMic. Connect the red XLR3M cable from the microphone to the GoXLR Mini's XLR input and route it through the arm's cable guides.
- Connect the GoXLR Mini to the Windows PC with its USB cable. Install the official GoXLR app, select the dynamic microphone type, leave phantom power off and adjust gain while speaking at the intended distance.
- Connect the DT 990 PRO X to the mixer's 3.5 mm headphone socket. Keep the separate 3.5 mm microphone socket empty when using the PodMic, because plugging a microphone into that socket disables the XLR input.
- Assign game, chat, music and other supported PC sources to the required audio devices and faders in the GoXLR app. Select the intended broadcast mix in your streaming software and check microphone and playback levels before going live.
This is a Windows mixer workflow. The GoXLR Mini provides EQ, compression and gating, plus routing and physical level control; it does not include the full-size GoXLR sampler or voice-effects controls. The open-back headphones suit a quiet room and moderate monitoring levels near the microphone.
