Elgato Wave XLR Pro

Elgato Wave XLR Pro is intended for streaming, podcasting, and content creation setups where two XLR microphones need to connect to a computer over USB-C. According to the source material, it provides 4 inputs / 6 outputs at 48 kHz, uses 2 x XLR 3-pin mic inputs, and supports 48 kHz / 24-bit audio.

The interface measures 7.2 x 3.8 x 1.5" / 18.3 x 9.7 x 3.8 cm and weighs 13.6 oz / 385 g. Anyone who has run a two-mic podcast or stream knows that extra routing can get messy fast. Keeping both XLR inputs, line I/O, headphone outputs, and USB-C connection in one unit makes the desk easier to manage.

Why It Helps

A two-microphone setup usually needs more I/O than a basic single-channel interface. For podcasts, co-host streams, and small voice setups, having two XLR inputs in one box keeps the microphone path simpler and easier to monitor.

The 1/4" and 3.5 mm headphone outputs are useful when different headphones are being used at the desk. Instead of adding adapters before checking audio, both common headphone connection types are already available on the interface.
