The Corsair Elgato Wave XLR is an audio interface that connects an XLR microphone to your computer over USB, with anti-distortion technology keeping your voice clean when a stream or recording gets loud. It sits on the desk rather than in a rack, needs no complex configuration, and you plug the microphone in and start working straight away.

The Wave XLR takes on jobs that would usually need separate boxes: proprietary anti-distortion technology, a capacitive mute button you tap on the top plate, integration with the custom Wave Link mixing software, and an interchangeable faceplate so the unit matches the rest of your desk. One device does the work of the stack it replaces.

Two selectable low-cut filters are built into the Wave XLR to strip out low frequencies before they reach the recording. Having a choice of two matters because the amount of low-end rumble a microphone picks up changes with distance, so one filter suits close placement and the other suits a microphone set further back.

The Wave XLR supplies up to 75dB of ultra-low-noise gain, which is enough to drive even demanding dynamic microphones without an external preamp in the chain. It also delivers 48 volts of phantom power, so condenser microphones that need their own supply run directly from the interface with nothing else on the desk.

When your input level peaks, Clipguard technology sends the signal down a secondary pathway held at a lower volume instead of letting it clip. The audio stays clear no matter how loud the moment gets, which is the difference between a shout landing as a shout and landing as an unusable distorted spike.

Wave Link software gives each source its own input channel, so game audio, voice chat, music, alerts and microphones mix in real time. You can build two completely independent output mixes, one for you and one for your audience, and monitor both at once. Stream Deck integrates with Wave Link for hardware control. Multiple Wave microphones are currently unsupported.
