About Elgato Wave XLR - Audio Mixer and 75 db Preamp for XLR Mic to USB-C
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
81% liked the rugged and durable build, while 19% found it flimsy
I believe the Wave XLR is the most competitive interface to come out in recent years.
The build quality is excellent and the interaction is minimal. The device has only the necessary features for connecting an XLR mic to a computer for a videochat session.
The Wavelink software is excellent and the devices feel like they are of great quality.
I am disappointed with the software quality of the product.
79% found it compatible
This device is perfectly compatible with PlayStation 5, both in and out.
The device is plug-and-play and compatible with Linux. Information on how to set it up was also provided.
Our device allows multiple channels within Windows via our software, which is great.
68% appreciated the variety of connectivity
If I am only using it to connect and control a microphone or other XLR device, no drivers are required.
I found it easy to connect the device on Linux with specific setup information provided.
I need a nice plug and play solution for occasional streams, discord calls, and daily work meetings and this product is perfect for me.
The Wave Link software has interesting options to separate programs to different audio channels.

90% liked the size and weight
The Wave XLR's compact design makes my setup tidy compared to the size of the GoXLR Mini.
I appreciate the small size of the audio interface, which doesn't take up much space on my desk.
86% praised for its crisp and clear sound, while 14% noticed some distortion
I am currently using the Rode Podmic with the Wave XLR, which has reduced all audio processing to minimal or none at all. My voice sounds super crisp.
The sound quality from my SM57 mic is clean with plenty of gain.
I have noticed that the headphone jack randomly has no audio output, but it can be resolved by restarting the PC.
The headphone jack randomly has no audio output, but restarting the PC resolves the issue.
There is a constant hiss that doesn't go away when I turn down the volume.
82% found the user interface intuitive, but 18% found it confusing
This is the best and only option to consider for an audio interface if you want to get into content creation or streaming.
I believe the Wave XLR is the most competitive interface to come out in recent years.
I am confused about the absence of gain levels on the device's LEDs, which is unlike many other audio interfaces in this price range.
