After trying several different desktop audio setups recently, including more “creator-focused” devices, I ended up landing on the Elgato Wave XLR Mk.2 and have been much happier with it than I expected. My setup: • RØDE PodMic USB connected via XLR • macOS • Microsoft Teams calls throughout the day • desk speakers • BlackHole + virtual outputs for routing/mix management What immediately stood out to me is that the Wave XLR feels very focused. It’s clearly designed around audio first, rather than trying to also become a streaming console, macro deck, video capture device, RGB controller, etc. That simplicity ended up mattering a lot more to me in daily use than I expected. The hardware itself is excellent. The unit feels solid, the single-knob interface is intuitive, and the LED metering is one of my favorite features. Having a clear visual representation of signal level directly on the device is genuinely useful during calls and recordings without needing to constantly check software meters. The Wave Link software has also been much smoother than some competing routing software I tested. I’m using multiple virtual outputs and custom routing paths, and the mixer-style interface has been easy to understand at a glance. It strikes a good balance between flexibility and usability. Importantly, I think this device works for a much wider audience than just streamers. Yes, content creators will obviously get value from it, but I also think it’s a great fit for: • remote workers • people in meetings all day • anyone wanting better microphone quality • users trying to manage multiple audio sources cleanly • people moving from USB mics into XLR setups One small annoyance: when I disconnect my laptop, the unit doesn’t fully shut down and the LEDs remain lit. Not a huge issue, but worth mentioning. Overall, this feels less like “streaming gear” and more like a really good desktop audio appliance. For my use case, that ended up being exactly what I wanted and good value for the cost.

I upgraded to the Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 after using the original Wave XLR for about four years. My microphone is a Blue Sona Active Dynamic XLR Broadcast Microphone, which I’ve been using since 2022. The original Wave XLR served me well, so I wasn’t looking to completely change my setup. I wanted something that would keep the simplicity and excellent Wave Link integration I was already used to while giving me the newer hardware and features of the MK.2. Setup was very easy. Since I was already in the Elgato ecosystem, replacing the original interface was straightforward, and the Blue Sona worked perfectly with the new unit. The physical controls are simple and intuitive, and I really like how easily I can adjust microphone and monitoring levels directly from the interface. The touch mute control is also convenient during calls, gaming, or recording. The biggest reason I continue to like the Wave XLR platform is Wave Link. It gives me much more control over my microphone and PC audio than a basic XLR interface, while still being easy enough to use every day without constantly adjusting settings. Paired with the Blue Sona, the MK.2 has plenty of capability for a high-quality broadcast-style microphone setup. Audio is clean, the interface is easy to manage, and everything feels well integrated. Pros: - Very easy upgrade from the original Wave XLR - Works extremely well with my Blue Sona microphone - Clean and compact desktop design - Excellent physical controls - Convenient mute control - Excellent Wave Link software integration - Great balance between simplicity and advanced audio control Cons: - If you already own the original Wave XLR, the upgrade may not be essential for everyone - More expensive than a basic XLR interface - You get the most value from it if you plan to use Wave Link After about four years with the original Wave XLR, I’m very happy with the MK.2 upgrade. Elgato kept the things I liked about the original while improving the overall experience. For someone using an XLR microphone for gaming, streaming, meetings, podcasting, or general desktop use, this is an excellent interface. If you already own the original Wave XLR, I wouldn’t say you absolutely need to upgrade, but if you’re building a new setup or want the latest version of an already excellent interface, the MK.2 is easy to recommend.

I couldn’t believe how much this really helps with overall quality of a mic and it’s easy to use! All the built in features are amazing besides one. My only complaint would be the AI noise cancellation feature it has doesn’t really work the best, it picks up fan noise and other noise outside the room. I’d definitely recommend to anyone and the price for what you get, I would say is fair. It does everything you need it to so simple that not having a lot of knowledge of audio I sound like I’d spent years doing it.

The software was sketchy to setup and crashed often which was frustrating, however once its all setup, and you dont have to touch anything else, this audio interface is epic.

The Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 completely upgraded my setup. The audio quality is crystal clear, the controls are super smooth, and the software makes everything incredibly easy to manage. It gives my microphone a much more professional sound with almost no background noise. Setup was fast, simple, and worked perfectly right away. If you stream, game, create content, or just want better audio quality, this is 100% worth it. The build quality also feels premium and solid. One of the best upgrades I’ve added to my setup. Highly recommended.

As some background I have owned the MK 1 version for a few years. I picked it up due to the onboard processing and 0 latency monitoring. If you've used the MK 1, you kind of already know what to expect from this. The biggest changes you'll see are the 0 latency monitoring and the effects being available onboard so you don't have to download the VSTs. This is a pretty straight forward interface for XLR mics. I have it powering a SM7DB (bypassing it's preamp) and this thing drives it just fine. So even a standard SM7B would work as that's basically how I'm running it. I also use this with a pair of DT-900 Pro X and DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm headphones. No issues there either and the sound is great. Aside from how well it works and all the bonuses of this version. I do have some nitpicks with it, but they're not major as they will all likely be adjusted via software My first frustration is with the new LED levels ring. It's not static and you cannot adjust the color (except for the mute color). So as noise happens you just have a green light bouncing around. Only way around this is to turn brightness to 0 (but then you can't see when it's muted), or you can click the dial to go to the last option of monitoring mix level. That gets rid of the bouncing green light. The other big issue is that this requires you to use the new wave link software which is very buggy. I've been on the beta version which has also gone to the stable version (3.0.2). Even though this version claims to fix issues, they're still happening. Sometimes the software will totally crash and close without any indication. The only way you'll know is you won't have any sound. The new software does have some upsides though. How can now have multiple mixes instead of just the two you had in the previous version. So now you can have a personal mix, stream mix, chat mix, record mix, and others. I think you can have up to 5. Then you can create multiple channels to split things up such as system, sfx, games, voice chat, etc. This basically ends the need of Voicemeeter. At the end of the day, I do love the device. I have my frustrations with it, but I have hopes that Elgato is working on getting them fixed. I'll hang onto the MK 1 in case I ever need the backup or my wife needs to pull out an XLR mic for something. This is still a solid product and once the issues with the software are fixed, it'll easily be a 5 star to me.
