Breaking down BEACN Studio
Users will be able connect to a custom “no noise” XLR preamp that can power gain-hungry dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B and +48V condenser mics alike. BEACN Studio utilizes our full suite of custom real time DSP technology to ensure that you can dial in the exact sound you want your audience to hear, made popular in the groundbreaking BEACN Mic. From there, audio can be routed anywhere via BEACN’s full-fledged PC application that supports submixing, drag and drop application control, automatic audio device assignments, easy routing table, and multiple mute modes.
For 2 PC streaming, gone are the days of using stereo-only analog cables and ground loop isolators to pass audio between two computers. Now, share of up to 8 channels of bi-directional digital audio between devices through BEACN Studio’s dual USB-C connections.
Plus, with BEACN’s world first BEACN Link App, you can manage programs making sound on your second PC right inside the BEACN App. Mix, mute, and route your game audio, stream alerts, music, voice chat and more all from one place. BEACN makes audio more accessible so creators can focus on doing what they do best.
“When we realized that we could remotely control audio assignments on a second PC from the first, we immediately set ourselves the challenging task of making that a reality,” said CEO Craig Fraser. “Being able to see what programs are making sound on a whole different computer AND be able to decide where and how that audio is used will make audio for 2PC streaming much, much easier.”
