The console also features a 16-bit DSP for special effects and a USB slot for connecting flash drives, laptops, PCs, or phones. When it comes to its system requirements, the Elgato Wave XLR needs Windows 10 64-bit. For Apple Mac computers, it requires macOS 10.15 or later. Hands-on with the Elgato Wave XLR This was with around 40% gain from the preamp. And also, we noticed that it didn’t have any issues powering the microphones we’ve tried with it. Elgato Wave XLR Review SummaryThe original GoXLR is without a doubt a favorite among streamers, content creators, and podcasters. The dual selectable filters give you the ability to choose low-cut filters at 80Hz and 120Hz. This feature helps reduce distant low-frequency sounds that may disrupt your stream or podcast. High-power Headphone Output Since the Wave XLR was bolstered because of the company’s Wave Link, we mixed via the software. This was instead of mixing through the product itself. It doesn’t have a complicated interface with multiple dials and faders; it instead has one dial and some buttons for controlling audio volume, mic volume, and crossfade between the two. Now, our Elgato Wave XLR review will discuss everything about the Wave XLR’s key features. What makes it unique and stand out from the rest? Compact Design

While many mixers require a cloud lifter to boost the signal of select popular microphones. For example, the Shure SM7B, the Wave XLR has a 0-75dB gain range, so you don’t need to add extra devices between your mic and Wave. This further helps clear the clutter on your desk for a simpler stream setup. “The device’s most important feature, however, is its compatibility with the Wave Link Software.”

The unit comes with presets for speech and vocal effects that can be easily turned on/off by a button. Streamers can change mic-input sounds using five different voice effects. The Live Streamer Nexus also has companion software for digital outputs that can be used to independently control your sound. The software itself easily blended and worked well with the Wave XLR. It offered more control over the mic we had plugged in too. This is the part of our Elgato Wave XLR review where we focus on the Wave XLR’s specifications. It has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, and a dynamic range of 100dB (120dB clip guard engaged). The Wave XLR was able to magnificently capture the sound of our condenser XLR mic with clear highs and lows. It even ensured that the source didn’t peak elsewhere during the recording.
