The Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 is a compact USB audio interface designed to give your microphone superpowers. With a massive 80dB of gain, it can drive any XLR mic—even dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B—with crystal-clear amplification. Onboard Wave FX Processor handles voice effects, compression, EQ, and VST plugins in real time, while ultralow-latency monitoring keeps you perfectly in sync. Touch-sensitive controls with LED feedback make adjustments effortless, and native Stream Deck integration puts full control at your fingertips.
The Wave XLR MK.2 offers significant headroom for low-output microphones. Whether you're using a dynamic mic like the SM7B or a condenser, you'll get loud, clean amplification without noise. The built-in headphone amp delivers powerful output for monitoring, so you can hear exactly what your audience hears.
With ultra-low-latency monitoring, you stay in sync with your voice and any PC audio. There's no disturbing echo or delay, which is crucial for live streaming, podcasting, and recording. The interface supports 24-bit/48kHz audio resolution for high-fidelity capture.
The Wave FX Processor unifies DSP effects and VST plugins into a single signal chain. You can enhance your voice with built-in voice enhancer, compressor, EQ, and more—all processed in real time, offloading your CPU. Create a richer, more polished sound without complicated software.
Adjust gain, mute, and monitor mix with a simple touch. The LED ring provides instant visual feedback, showing levels and status at a glance. You can even customize the lighting to match your setup.
Wave XLR MK.2 works with the Elgato Wave Link app, giving you powerful audio routing and effects—mix multiple audio sources, apply filters, and control everything via intuitive interface. It also integrates natively with Stream Deck, allowing you to trigger mutes, adjust volumes, and switch scenes with a single tap.
Whether you're live streaming, hosting a podcast, or in video meetings, the Wave XLR MK.2 provides professional studio-quality sound with easy setup. It's the ultimate interface for creators who want to sound their best.

The Wave XLR MK.2 isn't just an interface; it's a toolkit for audio perfection. Its Clippard LED ring turns red when you hit -3dB, alerting you to potential clipping before it distorts. The touch panel is reactive: tapping two dots mutes the mic, while sliding your finger adjusts gain smoothly. The Wave Link app gives you a virtual mixer with separate channels for your mic, game audio, music, and browser, each with independent volume. For advanced users, the plugin rack lets you insert VST2/VST3 plugins in real time, while the built-in Clippard and VAD tools help you maintain consistent levels. Whether you're just starting or a seasoned pro, the Wave XLR MK.2 adapts to your workflow.
Connect the SM7B via XLR, set the gain to around 2 o'clock on the Wave XLR, and enable the 48V phantom power for condenser mics if needed (SM7B doesn't need it). Use Wave Link to adjust EQ and compression for optimal sound.
No, it's plug-and-play with USB. Just connect to your PC or Mac and it will be recognized automatically. Download Wave Link from Elgato's website for full feature access.
Yes, the Wave XLR MK.2 integrates natively with Stream Deck. You can map actions like mute, gain adjustments, and app switching to your Stream Deck buttons.

The Wave XLR MK.2 is a game changer. The 80dB gain makes my Shure SM7B sound clean without any hiss. Touch mute is super convenient, and the Stream Deck integration is seamless.
The hardware is solid, and the sound quality is excellent. However, you need the Wave Link software to use the DSP features, which can be a bit overwhelming at first. Once you get used to it, it's great.
This thing is a beast. My mic sounds amazing, and the touch mute is satisfying to use. The build quality is top notch.
