To be clear, I am very familiar with audio interfaces, having worked at a popular music gear retailer for over a decade and having my own vocal booth setup in my office that runs a high-quality condenser microphone through a nice Focusrite interface. I wanted similar good-sounding XLR mic quality at my desk as well, but didn’t want to have to have a whole second complex audio setup to use my second XLR mic at my desk. The Wave XLR met those needs, and effectively turned my Movo VSM-7 XLR mic into a USB mic. You’ll also find four across the bottom area which are present to indicate which controls are selected. Plus, it will allow you to see the 48V phantom power if it’s active or not. This works to power the condenser microphones. When I first started testing I noticed a few times when the clip guard was active there was a tiny bit of audible distortion sometimes. but when I set my levels so the clip guard is not used to its maximum then I'm having no noticable issues at all. 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 The product has an equivalent input noise of -130dBV @ 60dB gain. Speaking of its gain, it ranges from 0 to 75dB while phantom power is at 48 VDC 7mA.
Ich bin restlos begeistert vom Elgato Wave XLR und möchte meine positive Erfahrung teilen! Dieser Audiomixer und Vorverstärker für XLR-Mikrofone hat nicht nur meine Erwartungen in Bezug auf Funktionalität und Benutzerfreundlichkeit erfüllt, sondern setzt auch neue Maßstäbe in der Steuerung von Audio-Interfaces. 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. There is a bit of self noise to be aware of, but it’s not bad. Underneath your speech is a tiny amount of white noise. It’s typical to microphones at this price, and is easy to remedy with even a very minor noise gate or noise suppressor, but is still something to know about going in. It’s small enough that you might not even mind, but if you want total silence for voice-over work, a suppressor or gate will be necessary. The Mini is compatible with GoXLR software, which can be used to independently route the mic, chat, music, game, system, console, and line-in. It’s a product that doesn’t take up a lot of space on your desk. And, it adds a lot of functionality to your set-up no matter what it is.It’s a small product and it doesn’t feel like it’s there, but it is. Plus, you won’t see any wasted space on the Wave XLR which is good.
Like most of Elgato’s products, the Wave XLR is a sleek little device that doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. With the Wave Link software, the Wave XLR has so much more to offer to enhance your stream. This XLR microphone interface can only get better as Elgato improves the software in the future. The L5 is compatible with PC, PS4, iOS, and Android. The console is portable and includes a 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery that can last for up to 10 hours (without phantom power), allowing streamers to broadcast from anywhere. The device only uses those circular LEDs to show gain levels after you've gone into the red and beyond it. Basically it's showing you how much the "clipguard" is working to reduce your volume (some kind of limiter that they added to this). This is great, but it could have easily also shown you how far you are in the green or yellow before reaching the clipping. The mix setting on the dial allows me to adjust what I hear in the headphones. both the game audio and my own zero latency voice monitoring. Or just one of them.Even though it has the unmistakable character and enhanced bass of a dynamic broadcast microphone, Elgato has tuned it to bring out a bit more treble detail. This lends a bit more airiness and natural timbre to the sound. Its tuning allows it to be a more versatile recording tool and better for recording instruments on music streams. The software effectively took most of the functions we’d find on full-form audio interfaces. But what’s great is that it took advantage of these and integrated them with the Wave XLR. This resulted in crisp, clean audio that sounds just as good as what some of the best mixers produce. 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 Considering it’s affordable price, this board is quite sturdy with clearly labeled buttons, knobs, and inputs. The front portion of the product features a single knob and it comes with a couple of LED indicators. One set encircles the knob which lets you view your set levels.
The Elgato Wave XLR is an affordable high-end solution for your streams and podcasts. Its simple design, user-friendly software, and excellent performance make this product a must-have for content creators. It offers you the freedom to utilise any XLR microphone with your computer. Pressing the knob for two seconds will let you toggle the phantom power on/off. You can leave it switched off when utilising a dynamic mic. We suggest that you leave it this way since some of these microphones can get damaged by phantom power. 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. 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 The fact that they recently added VST support and you have 2 separated submixes + a dedicated chat sub mix which, decent to very good prea amp which has more than enough gain to drive even a shure sm7b makes it perfect for streaming.The Mini can’t customize your reverb, samples, and other effects like the Pro, but it can apply a noise gate, compressor, and equalizer.
The SoundBlaster K3+ is a popular mixer for Twitch streamers and one of the most recommended GoXLR alternatives. 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.Die digitale Mixing-Software, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist, ermöglicht es Ihnen, Ihr Audio auf höchstem Niveau anzupassen und zu optimieren. Dies ist ein echtes Highlight für diejenigen, die ihre Livestreams, Aufnahmen und Podcasts perfektionieren möchten. 💻🎶 This is an excellent starting point before audio gets further condensed by YouTube or Twitch streams, or via Discord calls.
