iCON Pro Audio WeLive Portable Streaming Console with Bluetooth and DSP FX

iCON Pro Audio WeLive: A Full Broadcast Mix Without the Laptop

The iCON Pro Audio WeLive is a portable streaming console that puts a complete broadcast rig - a 2.8-inch color TFT display, 15 encoders, 9 trigger pads, and a 24-bit/48kHz signal path with onboard DSP - on a single tabletop. Its whole premise is independence: two XLR-1/4" combo inputs and a built-in 6000mAh battery let a show go live from a coffee-shop table or a hotel room with no computer in the picture. The reverb, EQ, pitch shift, and vocal processing all run on the hardware itself, so the mix is finished before it ever leaves the box. For a streamer or podcaster who moves around, that is console-grade control that packs into a bag.

Two Combo Inputs That Take Anything

Both front-end channels are XLR-1/4" combo inputs, each with switchable 48V phantom power and a wide -18 dB to +60 dB gain range, so they handle mics, line sources, and Hi-Z instruments equally. The 48V supply runs a studio condenser directly, while the +60 dB ceiling has the muscle to bring a low-output broadcast dynamic up to a full, usable level. That range is what lets a two-host podcast mic both presenters, or a musician sit a guitar next to a vocal mic. A 24-bit/48kHz path with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response, flat within a fifth of a decibel, carries those sources cleanly into the stream.

Studio Effects With No Plugin in Sight

The WeLive's onboard DSP engine runs reverb, three-band EQ, five-mode pitch shift, harmony, and filters live, with no computer connected. A vocal-cancellation mode pulls the lead vocal out of a backing track by 50 or 90 percent, and a Dodge function ducks the music automatically the instant the host starts talking. That combination lets a karaoke streamer drop the original vocal and sing over the instrumental in real time. Presenters simply get processed, broadcast-ready audio without ever opening a plugin window.

Nine Pads for Instant Show Cues

Nine trigger pads sit on the surface, each firing a preloaded or user-loaded sound effect, jingle, or loop the moment it is tapped. Because every pad is assignable, a podcaster can map intro music, applause, and stingers to land exactly where the rundown calls for them. A streamer punches in a transition without alt-tabbing away to a soundboard app and breaking the flow. The pads keep both hands on the console instead of reaching for a keyboard mid-show.

Wireless Sources and Two-Seat Monitoring

Bluetooth audio streaming brings backing tracks and call-in guests into the WeLive's mix wirelessly from a phone or tablet. On the output side, two separate 3.5mm headphone jacks let a host and a guest each monitor the show, while a 3.5mm TRRS headset jack and two 1/4" TS line outs feed headsets and an external recorder. A two-person podcast can share one live feed at both seats with no splitter or extra hardware. Everyone at the table hears the same mix as it airs.

Six Hours Off the Grid, Plus FX Play

A built-in 6000mAh lithium-ion battery runs the WeLive for up to six hours, and its USB-C port both charges the unit and supplies bus power when an outlet is close, with iCON's UNI technology holding the host link stable through long sessions. When a computer is available, FX Play software for Windows and macOS manages the effects and loads extra DSP modules - an exciter, noise reduction, a voltage limiter, and a reverb filter - then saves them as recallable presets. Those presets live on the hardware afterward, so the setup travels even when the laptop stays home. WeLive fits podcasters, live streamers, buskers, and mobile content teams, and ships with the console and a remote control.
