Manufacturer description
Hercules Stream 100 is an easy-to-use and effective audio controller that lets you stop worrying about audio settings during your livestreams and react quickly.

More than an audio controller, Hercules Stream 100 is also a command…
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Hercules Stream 100 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the streaming gear category. Hercules's streaming gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for streaming gear of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent.

Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
