Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 audio mixer

SKU CH-7H68-C7DNP

A USB audio interface provides up to 80dB of clean gain for any XLR microphone without an external booster

  • Up to 80 dB clean gain with any XLR mic
  • Automatic gain setting and touch mute for quick control
  • Loud, clear headphone output for accurate monitoring
  • Customisable LED feedback shows levels at a glance
  • Clipguard 2.0 and DSP effects keep the signal pristine

Desktop XLR Interface

The Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 connects any XLR microphone to a computer via USB and provides up to 80 dB of clean gain without an external booster. Its built-in DSP processor runs Clipguard 2.0, DSP effects and VST inserts in a single ultra-low latency signal chain. Wave Link software adds advanced routing and mixing capabilities for streamers and podcasters.

Solo Creators Only

This unit suits creators who need one high-quality microphone input with automatic gain setting and touch mute. It does not serve buyers who want multiple simultaneous XLR channels or hardware faders for each source. Users requiring standalone operation without a host computer should look elsewhere.

Plug-and-Play USB

Installation is straightforward: connect the interface to a USB port, plug in an XLR microphone and select the device in your recording software. The main friction point is configuring Wave Link routing for the first time, which can feel dense until the virtual channels are understood. Driver updates are handled through the Elgato control app.
