Bring your mic
You love your XLR microphone. You’ll love it even more with Wave XLR, a compact USB interface that gives your mic superpowers.

All in one, and more
Wave XLR does the work of multiple devices and packs features you won’t find in conventional audio interfaces. Like proprietary anti-distortion technology, a capacitive mute button, direct integration with custom Wave Link mixing software, and an interchangeable faceplate.

Plenty of power
Give your mic the boost it needs without an external preamp. Up to 75 dB of ultra-low-noise gain makes notoriously insensitive dynamic mics sound loud and clear, while 48 volts of phantom power bring condenser mics to life.

Get amped without clipping 
Now you don’t need to watch levels while live, nor attempt to salvage distorted audio in post-production. When input levels peak, proprietary Clipguard technology instantly reroutes sound through a second signal path that runs at a lower volume. The result is clean audio output, no matter how loud you scream

Switchable low-cut filters
Dual selectable filters let you remove low frequencies for close and distant mic positions.

WAVE LINK
Perfect your voice, control app volume levels, and even integrate Stream Deck for a seamless, hands-on experience. Simple for beginners, powerful for pros, Wave Link transforms complexity into clarity—so you can focus on your message.

Thousands of Effects
Add audio effects from Marketplace or third-party VST plugins directly to your Wave Link mixer, no manual install needed. Apply them to any input channel — like your microphone, game, or voice chat — then customize settings to create a sound all your own.

Effortless Control
Mute copyrighted music in your stream mix to avoid violations, and keep listening via your monitor mix.

Stream Ready
Add Wave Link as a master audio source in OBS Studio to take complete control of your audio workflow.

Smart Processing
Wave Link is gentle on your CPU* — no external audio processing hardware required.
