Overview
Plugging in an XLR microphone, the Elgato Wave XLR gives it high gain, onboard effects and a touch mute. LED feedback shows the level, and the unit works with Stream Deck and Wave Link software on a laptop or desktop.
Hands-on control for streamers is the reason to look: touch mute, level feedback and effects are on the unit. The limit is compatibility, because Wave Link requires a recent Windows or Apple Silicon Mac.
Who it's for
A solo creator with a laptop or desktop, a gain-hungry microphone and a Stream Deck will use the controls daily. Mac users on Intel hardware, older Windows PCs, and multi-mic setups need another interface.
Pros and cons
- 80 dB of clean gain on tap
- Touch mute and LED level feedback
- Onboard voice effects
- Works with Stream Deck
- Single XLR input
- Wave Link has OS requirements
- No instrument input listed
Performance notes
A gain stage that reaches high levels lets quieter dynamic mics work without a booster. Onboard DSP applies voice effects before audio reaches the computer, and low-latency monitoring lets the speaker hear themselves without delay. Wave Link software routes multiple sources in a software mixer.
