Overview
Wave XLR is a compact USB interface that enhances the capabilities of your XLR microphone. It combines the functions of multiple devices and offers unique features like anti-distortion technology, a capacitive mute button, and direct integration with custom Wave Link mixing software. It also provides up to 75 dB of ultra-low-noise gain and 48 volts of phantom power, making it perfect for both dynamic and condenser microphones. Additionally, its switchable low-cut filters and dual output mixes give you complete control over your audio output for content creation.
With Wave XLR, you no longer have to worry about distorted audio or constantly monitoring levels. Its Clipguard technology reroutes sound through a second signal path to prevent clipping, ensuring clean audio output even at high volumes. It also offers the convenience of submixing and multi-channel command, allowing you to blend audio sources in real time for your Twitch stream, YouTube video, or podcast. However, please note that multiple Wave mics are not currently supported by this device.

About the Elgato Wave XLR
Microphone Interface & Digital Mixing Solution
You love your XLR microphone. You’ll love it even more with Wave XLR, a compact USB interface that gives your mic superpowers.
All-in-One and More
Wave XLR does the work of multiple devices and packs features you won’t find in conventional audio interfaces. Like proprietary anti-distortion technology, a capacitive mute button, direct integration with custom Wave Link mixing software, and an interchangeable faceplate.
Plenty of Power
Give your mic the boost it needs without an external preamp. Up to 75 dB of ultra-low-noise gain makes notoriously insensitive dynamic mics sound loud and clear, while 48 volts of phantom power bring condenser mics to life.
Get Amped Without Clipping
Now you don’t need to watch levels while live, nor attempt to salvage distorted audio in post production. When input levels peak, proprietary Clipguard technology instantly reroutes sound through a second signal path that runs at a lower volume. The result is clean audio output, no matter how loud you scream.
Switchable Low-Cut Filters
Dual selectable filters let you remove low frequencies for close and distant mic positions.
Wave Link: The Creator’s Mixer
Intuitive software custom built for content creation, Wave Link gives you ultimate control of your Twitch stream, YouTube video or podcast audio.
Submixing Mastery
Create two completely independent output mixes — one for you, one for your audience — and monitor each on the fly.
