Transform the sound of your streams, podcasts, and videos with the next-generation audio controller, Elgato Wave XLR MK.2. This compact and powerful USB interface allows you to connect any professional high-end XLR microphone directly to your computer. Equipped with an improved hardware architecture, the MK.2 digital mixer provides crystal-clear audio quality, intuitive real-time control, and intelligent distortion protection, turning your desk into a professional recording studio.

Professional Gain and 48V Phantom Power

Elgato Wave XLR MK.2 is designed to get the most out of even the most demanding microphones on the market:

• Ultra-low Noise Preamp: With class-leading gain of up to 75dB, the controller seamlessly powers popular, "power-hungry" dynamic microphones (like the Shure SM7B) without the need for external in-line preamps.

• Studio 48V Phantom Power: With a single press of a button, activate power for highly sensitive condenser microphones, ensuring a rich, detailed, and natural voice.

Revolutionary Clipguard Technology for Distortion Protection

• Automatic Level Adjustment: During intense gameplay or an emotional podcast, your voice levels can spike sharply. The exclusive patented Clipguard technology instantly reroutes the audio signal through a secondary audio path with lower volume.

• No More Popping and Distortion: No matter how loud you shout or laugh, the sound remains clean and balanced, without unpleasant digital clipping – a feature that saves hours of post-production work.

Full Control at Your Fingertips

• Multifunction Rotary Controller: The large central wheel allows you to precisely adjust the input gain (Mic Gain), headphone volume (Output Volume), and the balance between game/computer audio and your own voice (Crossfade).

• Capacitive Mute Button: Located at the back or top of the device, the touch-sensitive button allows you to instantly and completely silently mute your microphone with a light touch, eliminating mechanical sounds during broadcast.

• Improved LED Indication: The bright LED ring around the controller provides clear visual information about current sound levels, even in a completely dark room.

Integration with Wave Link Software and Stream Deck

• Wave Link Digital Mixer: The software allows you to create two completely independent audio mixes – one for you in your headphones and one for your audience on Twitch, YouTube, or TikTok. You can mix audio from games, Discord, music apps, and browsers.

• Full Compatibility with Elgato Stream Deck: Connect Wave XLR MK.2 with your Stream Deck for absolute hardware control. Switch profiles, mute individual audio sources, or adjust levels with the press of a single physical button.
