    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.

    Wave XLR - Elevating My Mic Setup

    I use the Elgato Wave XLR daily with my Shure SM7B, and it's been an absolute gem for my audio setup. With up to 75 dB of gain, this compact interface easily powers even the most demanding microphones. The capacitive mute button is a handy feature, and the integration with Wave Link software makes my mixing tasks a breeze. It's become an essential part of my setup, and I couldn't be happier with it. Solid 5 stars!

    Excellent volume control and regulation of high pitch noises. Picks up what I need it to and cancels out unnecessary noise.

    This product seemed like a fantastic inexpensive purchase. I must say that the product works great, however the software you have to download for it is buggy. The sounds get messed up. After a while my headphones started making a buzzing whenever I was set to any of the software’s outputs. Every time my computer turns on I have to reconfigure everything. Sometimes the software will just close without warning. Build quality is great and overall a great product, software just needs a lot of work.

    Switched to this from a go xlr and it is a night and day difference in ease of use. You can route your audio and use this with a headphone DAC or audio card and route your audio in a simple drop down selection in the app.

    Works exactly as expected, provides a simple and compact XLR interface, and getting access to Wave Link is the cherry on top. Would probably reposition the mute button if I could, as it’l means you can’t put it under a desk shelf and still use it, but not a deal breaker or anything.

    If you are looking to have a dual PC setup with only 1 mic, this is the single piece of hardware you need! I searched everywhere for a solution that didnt involve a a $600 GoXLR and Wave XLR was the answer. Extremely easy to set up and the ease of use is phenomenal.
