  • Excellent price to performance
Style: Wave XLR
Used a GoXLR for a couple years and had issues; odd static pulses, faders taking full cycling to actually work, and software no longer being supported, I looked for another solution. Heard good things about the WaveXLR and since I only need a single XLR input, decided to give it a shot. The audio quality is night and day; significantly better in the WaveXLR in both mic and headphones. Device works well, can make small or large volume adjustments without issue, the software works well and runs efficiently, even with several VST plugins. The virtual mixer gives me plenty of inputs and let's you adjust each one independently for headphones vs stream. Mic has plenty of gain headroom for less sensitive dynamics. Headphone output allows for very low latency monitoring. All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised with the WaveXLR, and would highly recommend it to those only needing a single mic input ... show more

  • I love my Elgato!
Style: Wave XLR
A photo would not add much to my review. They show it quite well in the listing. I like this for so many reasons. It interfaces my mics (phantom powered or not) with my computer. It comes with a USB-C cord. Caution! Do not lose that cord. Some other ordinary USB-C cables will not pass the needed data for the Elgato! When mine failed to setup I discovered that I had accidentally changed cables. It was fine when I used the one, they sent with the unit. It has cool software that can incorporate other USB audio devices and controllers, and within the serious limitations of Windows handling of advanced USB audio, it can almost do miracles. Before getting the Elgato I struggled to find a consistent and reliable mic preamp. I use with a DAW (digital audio workstation) and simple audio editors alike. It has pretty loud headphone audio and you can mix live with program audio easily with the single big knob. It mutes almost too easily, as it just takes a tap on the backside to mute or unmute. Three back ports; Cannon 3-pin balanced mic, an eighth-inch stereo headphone jack and the USB-C which both powers the Elgato and manages audio. Simple and elegant. Well made. Happy I got one. ... show more

  • Great combo with SM7B
Style: Wave XLR
The Elgato Wave XLR has been a great audio interface for my Shure SM7B. It’s a bit pricey, but this is because of the preamp it has inside. With this audio interface, you don’t really need a cloudlifter, or any other gain booster. This audio interface has a preamp with max of 75dB. Granted, you wouldn’t want to ever use 75dB with this as it will max out the preamp and introduce lots of white noise. With my Shure SM7B, I keep it at 57dB, but anywhere from like 55-60dB should work. You can even use an external preamp if you have extra money and want to have your elgato’s preamp lower. The size is great as it’s very small. It won’t occupy much of your desk. The software, wave link, is amazing too. You can use VST’s in wave link to further tune your voice or audio recording. No need for other software. Just add your VST’s into wave link and use the monitoring to hear the difference. These effects can also be put into game chats if you select the FX input. Very helpful to introduce some noise suppression in game. You can also get some usage of higher impedance headphones with this. There has been one concern though. While using it, I have noticed some popping or crackling whenever I speak randomly. I’m not sure if it’s because of my PC, the audio interface, my microphone, or my XLR cable. It could be any of those factors, I believe. Just keep this in mind that this could happen to you as well. I’m not sure if others can hear this crackling/popping, or if it’s just me. I use monitoring always so it could be from that. ... show more

  • Awesome sound for my PS5.
Style: Wave XLR
Not perfect but it's so good it deserves the 5 stars just for doing what it does so well. Perfectly PlayStation 5 compatible. Both in and out. The mix setting on the dial allows me to adjust what I hear in the headphones. both the game audio and my own zero latency voice monitoring. Or just one of them. The OTG adaptor I got for my Samsung phone caused a ton of buzzing - but sound did come through. So I'll need to order a different adaptor before I can really comment on Android usability. I'm confused as to why there's no gain levels shown on the device's LEDs like many other audio interfaces in this price range. Because they have that functionality but they chose to leave it out. The device only uses those circular LEDs to show gain levels after you've gone into the red and beyond it. Basically it's showing you how much the "clipguard" is working to reduce your volume (some kind of limiter that they added to this). This is great, but it could have easily also shown you how far you are in the green or yellow before reaching the clipping. And the clip guard does and awesome job by the way. I'm getting perfect useable levels that can be heard and understood (without any editing - which is really important to me) all the way from whispering as quietly as I can - to shouting as loud as I can without hurting my voice - with my mic an inch to the side of my mouth. Honestly incredible. And it works right out of the box, no PC required. Using this with Behringer BA 85A mics and WBC/Mogami cables. When I first started testing I noticed a few times when the clip guard was active there was a tiny bit of audible distortion sometimes. but when I set my levels so the clip guard is not used to its maximum then I'm having no noticable issues at all. Would be nice if it had two mic inputs. I was thinking of getting an XLR splitter cable so I can record two people at once. Though I'd have to adjust the volume using the distance of the mic to the person. Not perfect but might be very usable if the mics are the same. I'll have to order one and try it. Also honestly I'd prefer separate dials for the different functions. It's kind of a waste of time to click to scroll between the different settings before you can adjust them.. ... show more
