"Our vision for what creator audio should be" - Elgato launches Wave Next, a new generation of powerful audio hardware with software that's free for everyone

Elgato has launched a brand new range of audio products for content creators which includes five new pieces of hardware, and an update to its audio software, Wave Link which makes it free for all. One of the hardest parts of assembling a live streaming setup for gaming is finding something that will let you configure your audio sources and manage them on the fly.

Elgato's Stream Deck and Stream Deck+ have always been go-to options, but with the arrival of Wave Next, it feels like the first time this brand is properly leaning into helping content creators master audio. While there are a few different streaming mixers out there, the market still feels like it's in need of more, especially when the GO:XLR is in its end of life phase, and alternatives like the RodeCaster Duo are so expensive. Elgato has kicked off its Wave Next range with three new audio interfaces, the Wave XLR MK.2 Pro, the Wave XLR Pro, and the XLR Dock MK.2 for the Stream Deck+.
