There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When deciding to buy one for myself I decided to try this one due to the DAC that comes with it. It was Immediately apparent this microphone blew my girlfriends out of the water, it is a significant difference in sound as well as not picking up other voices in the room.
Definitely a good purchase and when I can I will gladly replace the not so good one with this.

Yo recomendaria evitar grabar en lugares con mucho eco, fuera de eso, excelente calidad, muy satisfecho con mi compra.
I have the Pro version
- The microphone -
The microphone has a pils shape design and come mounted on a nice metal shock. The base is in plastic with a metal weight. Despite being in plastic, it still feels like a quality product. There is also a metal adapter to mount the microphone on a boom arm.
The sound quality is outstanding for recording vocals but there are other condenser microphone that perform similarly at cheaper price. This microphone has a Cardioid pattern which just means it's most sensitive toward the front. This microphone is still very sensitive and noises in the environment will sill get picked up. This microphone is able to record at 24 bit/48 KHz and response frequency from 50 Hz to 20 KHz. Max SPL is 120 dB. SteelSeries put a lot of enphasis on the size of the capsule which is 1 inch. In the worl of microphones, size does matter but larger is not always better. Smaller capsule has better frequency response and a more consistent pick up pattern. Smaller capsule has smaller diaphragm and smaller diaphragm will require less energy to move. Larger capsule on the other hand has a wider pick up pattern at low frequencies and a more lush sound. All of this to say that the Alias Pro will be excellent at recording vocals but won't be a good choice if you want to capture a pure sound without any added flavour.
- The mixer -
The mixer is entirely in plastic with added weight and a layer of silicon for stability. On my unit, the front strip of silicon unglued itself after 2 days. I was abel to glue it back. The mixer require a AC/DC adapter. It does not draw power from either of the two USB-C port. The other ports on this mixer include 1 x XLR for the microphone, 1 x 3.5mm Line Out for speakers and 1 x headphone jack for level monitoring. The mixer has two dial and two button. The left dial adjust the gain of the microphone and the left button is to mute the microphone. The right dial control the volume of the headphone jack and the right button is to mute the headphone. The right dial and right button can be remap using the SteelSeries GG Software. Every other adjustment on this mixer will need to be done using the SteelSeries GG Software. This include enable output on the second USB port, enabling Line Out, turning off Phantom power on the XLR and etc. The mixer has RGB which is sort of useful as it provide some feedback about the microphone gain. As long as you stay in the green and yellow, the recording volume should be good.
- SteelSeries GG -
SteelSeries Sonar is actually a really nice software package. it include the require engine to modify the Mixer RGB, EQ the audio but the best feature is to filter the recording. It can remove unwanted noise with AI. The only thing I wish it could have is some keys on the mixer to quickly activate these filters. None of the audio processing is done on the microphone or mixer so it will take some CPU cycle.
Over all, it's a very nice microphone and the price reflect the quality. If you are looking for a microphone to primarily record vocals, this is a very nice choice.
The only downside with this kit is that I would never use the desk stand, just get at least a 20$ mic arm and keep the microphone less than a feet from your mouth for best results. You can use the sonar software to turn the gain up afterwards but that way it eliminates a lot of the ambient noise without having to do any filtering, noise gate, ai pass, etc
Its pricier than most streaming/podcast specific mic but you get the audio interface which means you can get an even better microphone down the road and keep the audio interface / settings
Sonar is pretty intuitive and is great for splitting audio when streaming. You can drag and drop Apps to a couple of virtual audio channel then decide what audio you listen to and what the stream listens to. So you could send drm free music to your stream without having to listen to it and you could send discord chat to just you so you don't have to worry what your friends say in your stream. Overall it's very user friendly and the app has some auto mic improvement but can't make miracles, you need to point the mic at your mouth (it has a 30 degree and le of pickup) , the closer, the better (ok maybe give a few inches distance) .
Overall a big leap in quality without much effort but it's a waste to buy this if you are "thinking of getting into streaming"
