For creators moving to an XLR mic
Wave XLR connects one XLR microphone to your PC or Mac over USB-C and gives you up to 75dB of clean gain, enough for most dynamic mics, plus 48V phantom power for condensers. Its standout is Clipguard, which catches sudden shouts or laughs that would normally distort and keeps the recording clean, extending dynamic range from 100dB to 120dB. It works with Elgato's Wave Link software for mixing game, music and chat audio into separate stream and monitor mixes, and the front dial and capacitive mute keep the controls you use most within reach.
Is this the right interface?
This is the original Wave XLR (MK.1); Elgato now also sells a Wave XLR MK.2 with 80dB of gain and newer DSP features. Gain-hungry dynamic mics like the Shure SM7B can need more than 75dB, so you may want an inline booster with those. There's only one XLR input, so it isn't for podcasts with two hosts on separate mics. Software support requires Windows 11 (64-bit) or macOS Sonoma 14.2 or newer. If you already use a USB microphone, you don't need this at all.
