Elgato Wave XLR Pro USB-C Audio Interface 10MAM9901
Overview :
The Elgato Wave XLR Pro USB-C Audio Interface provides a full feature set when recording for podcasts, streaming, gaming, and other audio applications. Two XLR female inputs provide up to 80 dB of gain and have 48V of power for phantom-powered condenser microphones. For headphones, two 1/4″ inputs and two 3.5mm outputs allow for four monitoring paths, while a 3.5mm line input and line output allow you to record and monitor your favorite hardware. Dual USB-C connections on the rear of the unit mean you can connect a second PC, console, or phone—a welcome solution when you need to record a backup.
Audio fidelity isn’t an issue with the Wave XLR Pro, thanks to the high-quality 24-bit, 48 kHz sample rate and Clipguard 2.0 technology that prevents the inputs from digitally overloading. The interface is compatible with Stream Decks and Wave Link software for full command over advanced parameters, tactile control, and setup integration.
Powerful Inputs and Outputs
The input section of the interface features two XLR female connections for microphones and a stereo 3.5mm line input connection. Each XLR connector supports 48V for powering condenser microphones.
The output section has a total of four headphone jacks, with 1/4″ and 3.5mm connection points, and a stereo 3.5mm line output.
Dual USB-C Connections
On the rear panel are two USB-C connections. This allows you to connect two devices for simultaneous control and recording.
Stream Deck and Wave Link Compatibility
The interface is compatible with Stream Deck control units and can be further configured with the free Wave Link application. With the software, you can enjoy running DSP and VST effects in one signal chain.
