The black **Wave XLR** from **Elgato** is a compact USB Type-C audio interface with a single XLR input and mic preamp designed for recording, podcasting, and streaming to Mac and Windows computers at a 24-bit resolution with a choice of 48 or 96 kHz sampling rates. The elegant space-saving design uses a single multifunction knob to control the microphone gain, phantom-power switch, headphone volume, and the monitor blend between the mic input and playback from your computer.
