Audio Control for Gamers. The Elgato Wave XLR isn’t going to replace a high-end, professional grade audio interface used in recording studios, but it never wanted to. The Wave XLR bridges the gap between professional-sounding audio and accessible content creation, by packing in all the features necessary for broadcast-quality audio processing in a compact housing featuring a single knob to control everything.

Works With XLR Microphones. If you already have an XLR microphone and don’t want a separate USB mic, you’ll need an audio interface to use it with your computer, and that’s where the Wave XLR comes in. Featuring a single, Phantom Powered XLR input, the Wave XLR provides switchable low cut filters, anti-clipping technology, and up to 75 dB of ultra-low-noise gain, for when your dynamic microphones need a boost. Best of all, the Wave XLR works with Wave Link to streamline your audio processing.

Wave Link. Elgato’s Wave Link allows you to mix audio from up to nine independent inputs, including game audio, voice chat, alerts, and music, all at once during your recording. You can add effects in real time as well, and create two differently mixed outputs: one for yourself, and one for your audience. This will ensure your livestream audio sounds great during the stream, or make post processing on video recordings a breeze, since all the mixing and effects can be done from the start.
