AVerMedia AX310 Live Streamer NEXUS Review

Rating: 6.5.

As you may know, AverMedia makes all sorts of products aimed at live streamers and content creators, including as capture cards and microphones, many of which we’ve reviewed here on KitGuru in the past. Today, however, we’re checking out something totally new from the company and really, there’s nothing else on the market quite like this product, at least nothing that combines all of these features into one item.

Pros:

  • Good build quality and aesthetics.
  • Affordable price point vs competition.
  • IPS display, good viewing angles.

Cons:

  • No adjustable height from the additional magnetic stand.
  • Touchpads don’t depress evenly and are too large.
  • No XLR out ports for speakers, only one 3.5mm line out port.
  • Software is sluggish and mic metre is almost useless.
  • Limited custom options within the software such as sub-mix linking and adjusting widget size.

KitGuru says: We think AVerMedia really tried to push against the competition here and make a one-stop shop for live streamers but, sadly, there’s just too many frustrating design and software choices made. We'd recommend that you wait and either see how their firmware updates improve the system or whether they bring out a version 2.
