Perfect for Twitch streamers, YouTube creators, podcasters, voice actors, musicians, and broadcasters who want to use professional XLR microphones like the Shure SM7B, Electrovoice RE20, Audio-Technica AT2020, or Rode PodMic with their computer without investing in expensive, complex studio interfaces. The Wave XLR delivers 75dB of ultra-clean gain—enough to drive even the notoriously gain-hungry Shure SM7B to optimal levels without requiring a Cloudlifter or FetHead. The 52dB of analog gain is perfectly clean, and the additional 23dB of digital gain is processed cleanly in the digital domain for noise-free amplification. Clipguard technology is revolutionary—it automatically routes audio to a secondary, high-headroom signal path when levels peak, preventing clipping and distortion even when you get loud or excited during streams. The capacitive mute button provides instant, silent mic control with visual LED feedback. The multifunctional dial offers tactile control over gain, headphone volume, and mic/PC audio balance. Wave Link app elevates your audio game by letting you mix multiple sources (game audio, Discord, music, browser, mic) with individual volume controls and create two independent mixes—customize what you hear vs. what your audience hears. The two selectable low-cut filters (75Hz for close mic positions, 150Hz for distant positions) remove rumble and proximity effect for broadcast-ready vocals. Compact, USB-powered, and compatible with all streaming software—Wave XLR is the ultimate XLR audio solution for digital creators.
