Studio Power for Your Desktop
An ideal solution for livestreamers and podcasters, the Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 brings studio-quality sound to your desktop. Plug in any XLR-equipped microphone, and you’ll benefit from a staggering 80dB of clean gain — no in-line preamp required. Housing a Wave FX Processor, the Wave XLR enables you to shape your voice with onboard Voice Tune, Compressor, EQ, Expander, and Low Cut effects while monitoring the results with ultra-low latency via the clear, powerful built-in headphone amp. Clipguard 2.0 offers multi-stage protection against clipping, while VST inserts let you run plugins straight from your mic with ultra-low monitoring lag and zero routing headaches. Moreover, a large multifunction dial and touch-to-mute feature make on-the-fly adjustments a veritable walk in the park. You also get an Auto Gain feature that takes all the guesswork out of calibrating audio levels, as well as vivid LED feedback for real-time level and status indication. You’ll also appreciate the Wave XLR’s modular ecosystem, which integrates seamlessly with Stream Deck hardware. Finally, Sweetwater's content creator coalition values the straightforward routing, effects chaining, and mixing afforded by the Wave Link app. Ultimately, the Wave XLR MK.2, when combined with a high-quality mic, makes achieving professional sound a decidedly forthright affair.
