Description
The BOYA Caster X1 USB Audio Interface & Digital Mixer is a high-performance audio solution designed for streamers, podcasters, musicians, voice-over artists, and content creators who need professional-quality recording and flexible audio control from a compact desktop setup. Featuring a powerful studio-grade microphone preamp, high-resolution audio conversion, real-time monitoring, and BOYA Central software integration, the Caster X1 provides a convenient platform for building a home studio, podcast station, or livestreaming setup.
One of the major highlights of the BOYA Caster X1 is its powerful 70dB high-gain microphone preamp, which provides enough gain to drive many professional dynamic microphones without requiring an additional external preamp. It also features built-in 48V phantom power, allowing compatible condenser microphones to be powered directly through the interface. This gives creators greater flexibility when selecting microphones for different recording applications.
The Caster X1 supports both XLR microphones and 6.35mm TRS line-level audio equipment, making it suitable for microphones, instruments, and other compatible audio sources. Its high-resolution converters support audio up to 192kHz / 24-bit, providing detailed digital recording and playback for podcasts, music production, streaming, voice recording, and video creation.
For monitoring, the BOYA Caster X1 includes a high-powered headphone output, enabling creators to hear their audio directly with minimal delay. A multifunction control knob combined with an RGB level meter provides convenient real-time visual monitoring and quick adjustment directly from the desktop interface. This makes it easier to maintain appropriate recording levels while working.
Another major advantage is integration with BOYA Central PC software. When connected to a computer, users can manage audio channels, configure device settings, create personalized audio routing, and handle multiple audio sources with ultra-low-latency control. This software integration is particularly useful for streamers and podcasters who need to manage microphone audio alongside other digital sound sources.
With its compact 110 × 90 × 51mm body and approximately 200g weight, the BOYA Caster X1 can fit easily into desktop and portable content-creation setups. Combining professional XLR connectivity, 48V phantom power, high microphone gain, 192kHz/24-bit recording, real-time monitoring, RGB level indication, and BOYA Central integration, the Caster X1 is a versatile choice for creators looking to upgrade their recording workflow.

Powerful 70dB High-Gain Preamp
The BOYA Caster X1 features a powerful microphone preamp offering at least 70dB of gain, providing sufficient amplification for demanding dynamic microphones. This makes it particularly suitable for podcasting, streaming, broadcasting, voice-over recording, and other applications where clean microphone amplification is essential.
192kHz / 24-bit Studio-Quality Audio
With support for sample rates up to 192kHz and 24-bit audio conversion, the Caster X1 is designed to deliver detailed digital audio for professional and enthusiast recording environments. Supported sample rates include 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz.
XLR & 6.35mm TRS Connectivity
The Caster X1 supports professional XLR microphones as well as compatible 6.35mm TRS line-level equipment. This flexible connectivity allows creators to integrate different audio sources into their recording, streaming, or production setup instead of being limited to a basic USB microphone workflow.
Built-in 48V Phantom Power
Built-in 48V phantom power allows the Caster X1 to power compatible condenser microphones directly. Users can therefore choose between dynamic and compatible condenser microphones according to their preferred recording style without necessarily requiring a separate phantom-power supply.
Real-Time Monitoring with RGB Level Meter
A multifunction control knob and integrated RGB level meter provide quick control and visual feedback during recording. The dedicated headphone output also provides direct audio monitoring, helping creators keep track of microphone and playback audio while recording or broadcasting.
BOYA Central PC Software Support
Through BOYA Central, users can manage audio channels, adjust device settings, mix multiple audio sources, and create personalized routing from a connected computer. The software is designed to provide low-latency control, making the interface particularly useful for livestreaming and podcast production.
