Honestly, great item out of the box. Didnt really have to work with much, really a plug and play type of thing. Sound quality and features are also a big step up from the focusright scarlet solo.

Any elgato product is good, the reason they are great is because of the software. The software this comes with is amazing it turns this $150 interface into a goxlr. You can have a ton of separate channels all with different volumes which can be adjusted to the output of whatever you’re recording with and then have a different volume to run to your headphones. You can be recording and watching a video at the same time but the recording will only pick up the things you want it to, such as gameplay or music and you can adjust anything such as your browser to be muted for recording but come through to your headphones.

Despite getting this for a steal on sale, the regular price is still not enough for all you get with this device. It's well made, the software that accompanies it is great and the quality is excellent. It will take any mic you put on it! Not only do I recommend it i HIGHLY recommend it.

After half a year of using the Elgato Wave XLR, I can say it’s one of the best compact audio interfaces for streamers and content creators. It’s simple, powerful, and packed with useful features that make managing an XLR mic super easy.

One of the best purchases for using an XLR mic on

I was a little nervous going to this unit. Before going to this. I had a Behringer four-channel mixer that I use for streaming. I wasn't sure if this device would do the things I had grown accustomed to using for my live streams.
While it did take a little bit to get set up and understand how the software works, I have to say I am 100% happy with this purchase and would recommend this to anybody who uses an XLR mic for their computer. Once I understood. However, thing works. I've had nothing but compliments on the quality of the sound in my content. Not only does it sound good, the footprint of it is really small and saves a bunch of desk space over a full-size mixer.

This XLR interface works great allowing Head Phone Monitoring with XLR Mic Level Controls cool mute control on the top. If you want to use more than 1 XLR mic this is not for you. Otherwise I would highly recommend for single mic scenario interface that drives my Audio-Technica AT875R very well.

Are you a streamer and want to take your audio to the next level? Buy this instead of the GoXLR. It cost less and with the wave link software access, you have all that audio control for your stream. No USB mic usage wit this, need XLR mic and cable. I upgraded to the Blue Spark SL Black with this and my mic quality is superb! Setup is easy, but you do need to make some changes in your audio output settings in your system to work flawlessly with the Wave XLR. Once it it set-up, you might shed a tear that it works extremely well.

Works better than other audio interfaces that I have tried. I've currently got it hooked up to a Cloud booster and a Shure Sm7b microphone as well as some Audio-Technica headphones. It is able to provide adequate power to the mic and to the headphones (the headphones I have are often underpowered when used with a standard headphone jack). The relationship between windows audio settings and the Wave XLR are a bit rough. I wanted to run it without downloading extra software. Doing so reset the volume, mic gain, and balance settings I used every time I restarted my PC. Even after downloading the software and playing with settings, it still never saves my mic input gain/volume properly and I have to manually adjust it with the dial. Overall, I would recommend this, especially over a Scarlett device, if you want something that just works as an interface for XLR to USB.

I love Elgato’s products, and this is the same quality you’d expect from Elgato for their stream decks, their face cam, face cam pro, master mounts and lights. As for the average user this is probably a really great product that would suit you just fine. I got this as a potential replacement for the recently unsupported GoXLR (a moment of silence, may it rest in piece). This is not that. Like I said for the average streamer or person just wanting a better microphone on those zoom calls and all that, this is a great product that will suit your needs if you spend enough time researching how to use it with VSTs and all that. But if you’ve like me and trying to replace your GoXLR or GoXLR mini? You’ll be disappointed.
