SteelSeries Reveals Alias, Their First Gaming Microphones

Today SteelSeries has revealed their first-ever microphone in the form of the Alias with both a USB and XLR connection targeted towards gamers and streamers.

SteelSeries Alias

The Alias is a gaming microphone fitted with a 1″ premium capsule that captures your voice with more fidelity. This mic is powered by Sonar for controlling all of the aspects of the microphone, plus it features ClearCast AI noise cancellation and a 10-band equaliser for deep, rich vocals. It uses a cardioid pickup pattern that allows your voice to be captured no matter what, plus it has LED voice level monitoring giving you feedback on how loud or quiet you are. With the Alias a shock mount is included to reduce the impact of vibrations on your desk plus it is completely compatible with a boom arm.

Features

  • Bigger Sounds Better—the capture capsule is 3x bigger than those found on competing mics. The quality and area of capture are incomparably better, resulting in pure, unparalleled voice delivery.
  • Cardioid Pattern—unshackle your hype. Get wild. Alias will capture your voice no matter what.
  • Sound Pro Without Being Pro—Sonar Software has everything you need to control incoming and outgoing audio. Adjust every mix separately with a super easy drag ‘n’ drop app routing interface and take advantage of AI noise cancellation to spare your listeners’ ears.
  • LED Level Monitoring—no more talking while accidentally muted. A red X marks the spot on the mic, reminding you to toggle it. Also, the LEDs instantly give you feedback on whether you’re too quiet or if you’re killing it (a little too much) with your voice.
  • Shock Mount—part of the included desk stand, the Shock Mount minimizes the sound of desk bumps and other, uh, “vibrations” that might occur from your hot streak with this Shock Mount. Also, the Alias is compatible with a boom arm!

Alias Pro

The Alias Pro is the same as the Alias with its 1″ capsule, LED Monitoring, Sonar control and shock mount but this model instead opts for an XLR connection. For those looking to link up to existing sound equipment for an even more professional sound, this mic allows you to connect through an XLR connection. On top of this, the Pro comes with a stream mixer with customisable controls that connects to the PC through USB and to the mic with XLR.

Features

  • XLR Cable Connection—the professional standard used in broadcast devices, ensures a signal that’s more balanced and less prone to noise and static.
  • Stream Mixer—that XLR cable connects to your new friend. This is a handy tool with informative LED lights to check your audio levels at a glance and provides RGB for ambiance.
  • Customizable Controls—the handy Stream Mixer features customizable controls; adjust a selected fader and mute with a quick press
  • Dual PC Streaming—looking to stream audio over two PCs? It’s easy. Skip the complicated steps with Alias Pro. Two USB cables + Sonar does all the heavy lifting for you.
  • Shock Mount—just like the regular Alias, the included desk stand features a Shock Mount to reduce vibrations, with the option to setup a boom arm.
