Description

The Elgato Wave XLR is a compact XLR to USB-C audio interface that gives your mic superpowers. It packs features you won't find in conventional interfaces: proprietary Clipguard anti-distortion technology, a capacitive mute button, and direct integration with Wave Link mixing software. With up to 75dB of ultra-low-noise gain and 48V phantom power, it can drive even insensitive dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B without an additional boost. The swappable faceplate and control dial let you personalize your setup.

Elgato Wave XLR Key Features

Studio-Grade Preamp: Up to 75dB of gain provides ample volume for dynamic microphones, ensuring clear, loud audio.
Clipguard Technology: Prevents distortion by automatically catching and reducing audio clipping.
Wave Link Software: Mix multiple audio sources, create independent mixes, and route audio with ease.
48V Phantom Power: Powers condenser microphones for professional capture.
Tap-to-Mute: Capacitive mute button provides instant control.

Using Wave XLR with Shure SM7B

One of the most common questions is whether the Wave XLR can drive a Shure SM7B without a Cloudlifter. The answer is yes: with 75dB of gain and ultra-low noise (-130dBV EIN), the Wave XLR provides sufficient clean gain for the SM7B, so you can skip the external booster. At higher gain settings, the Signal-to-Noise ratio remains excellent.

Great interface, but software is required

The hardware is solid, but you really need to use the Wave Link software to get the most out of it. That takes some getting used to. Once set up, it's awesome.

Plug in your mic, crank the gain, and you're good to go. The Clipguard saved me from many distorted recordings. Highly recommended.

Overkill for me

I bought this thinking it would improve my audio, but my microphone already sounded fine through my old interface. The software is powerful but overwhelming. I ended up returning it.
