  • Awesome sound for my PS5.
Style: Wave XLR
Not perfect but it's so good it deserves the 5 stars just for doing what it does so well. Perfectly PlayStation 5 compatible. Both in and out. 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. The OTG adaptor I got for my Samsung phone caused a ton of buzzing - but sound did come through. So I'll need to order a different adaptor before I can really comment on Android usability. I'm confused as to why there's no gain levels shown on the device's LEDs like many other audio interfaces in this price range. Because they have that functionality but they chose to leave it out. 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. And the clip guard does and awesome job by the way. I'm getting perfect useable levels that can be heard and understood (without any editing - which is really important to me) all the way from whispering as quietly as I can - to shouting as loud as I can without hurting my voice - with my mic an inch to the side of my mouth. Honestly incredible. And it works right out of the box, no PC required. Using this with Behringer BA 85A mics and WBC/Mogami cables. 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. Would be nice if it had two mic inputs. I was thinking of getting an XLR splitter cable so I can record two people at once. Though I'd have to adjust the volume using the distance of the mic to the person. Not perfect but might be very usable if the mics are the same. I'll have to order one and try it. Also honestly I'd prefer separate dials for the different functions. It's kind of a waste of time to click to scroll between the different settings before you can adjust them.. ... show more

  • A Great GoXLR Mini Alternative!
Style: Wave XLR
The Elgato Wave XLR is a great piece of equipment for your sound setup. While deciding whether or not to get this, I had to look at the benefits and drawbacks this device had in comparison to the GoXLR Mini. A drawback of this device is that, compared to the GoXLR Mini, the Elgato Wave XLR isn't as convenient because it lacks physical faders (the sliders for different sound sources). This could be a deal-breaker for some people, but it wasn't enough for me to ditch the option. In my opinion, the Wave XLR has many more benefits than the GoXLR Mini. The compact design of the Wave XLR makes my setup nice and tidy compared to the size of the GoXLR Mini. It fits perfectly on top of my computer, and its cable management is perfectly fine since all its ports are coming off the back. The Elgato Wave Link software is incredibly intuitive. It separates the audio into two potentially identical tracks: the monitor track and the stream track. Because of this, you can adjust your sound levels for your stream track (what the stream may hear or what an audience might hear) separately from what you hear (the monitor track). You can also switch between what track is currently playing through your headphones right on the software so that you can properly adjust the sound levels. The Wave XLR has VSTs for all audio sources, so you can add limiters, equalizers, noise gates, etc. to your microphone or any other sound. It also allows you to use your microphone with the VSTs on any program, so you can speak to your friends through Discord for example with your VSTs. There is a knob on the front of the device that lets you adjust the gain for the microphone you have plugged in. Fortunately, the Wave XLR has enough gain to power power-hungry microphones such as the Shure SM7B, so there is no need to worry about whether your microphone will ever be too quiet. You can push the knob to switch it from adjusting your microphone to your headphone level, and you can push it again to adjust how much of your microphone you hear back and how much of your system you hear back. Keep in mind that monitoring your microphone directly through the Wave XLR and NOT through the Wave Link software will NOT have any of the VSTs you put on. Overall, this is an amazing device, and for $40 cheaper than the GoXLR Mini, you are definitely getting enough bank for your buck. It has everything the GoXLR Mini has except the physical faders (sliders), and more. I would recommend this to any streamer who is looking for an audio interface that is compact and powerful enough to power a microphone like the Shure SM7B. ... show more

  • I love my Elgato!
Style: Wave XLR
A photo would not add much to my review. They show it quite well in the listing. I like this for so many reasons. It interfaces my mics (phantom powered or not) with my computer. It comes with a USB-C cord. Caution! Do not lose that cord. Some other ordinary USB-C cables will not pass the needed data for the Elgato! When mine failed to setup I discovered that I had accidentally changed cables. It was fine when I used the one, they sent with the unit. It has cool software that can incorporate other USB audio devices and controllers, and within the serious limitations of Windows handling of advanced USB audio, it can almost do miracles. Before getting the Elgato I struggled to find a consistent and reliable mic preamp. I use with a DAW (digital audio workstation) and simple audio editors alike. It has pretty loud headphone audio and you can mix live with program audio easily with the single big knob. It mutes almost too easily, as it just takes a tap on the backside to mute or unmute. Three back ports; Cannon 3-pin balanced mic, an eighth-inch stereo headphone jack and the USB-C which both powers the Elgato and manages audio. Simple and elegant. Well made. Happy I got one. ... show more
