These additions are designed to offer content creators more flexibility, better audio quality and easier handling. With this combination of hardware and software, Elgato is once again setting new standards in the world of professional streaming and content creation.
- Wave Mic Arm Pro: Robust and quiet swivel arm with low-profile design
- Wave Desk Stand: Flexible, portable studio arm for microphones and accessories
- Wave Link 2.0: Simple audio routing with one click and Stream Deck integration
Wave Mic Arm Pro: The new standard for microphone mounts
The Wave Mic Arm Pro is the new flagship in Elgato’s Wave product range and has been specially developed for professional studio setups. Thanks to the low-profile design, the swivel arm lifts the microphone from below without blocking the view. This is particularly practical for streamers and YouTubers who want to use their camera unhindered. Another highlight is the gas suspension, which ensures smooth, noiseless movements. This allows the microphone to be quickly and flexibly adjusted to the perfect position without having to readjust annoying screws or buttons.
The robust metal construction of the arm ensures stability, even with heavier microphones weighing up to 3 kg. The clean design is supported by magnetic cable channels to keep your desk tidy. The Wave Mic Arm Pro is available in black and white and can be personalized later in the year with colorful hinge attachments – perfect for creators who want to add a personal touch to their setup.
Wave Desk Stand: Flexible and portable
For content creators who need to be mobile or have limited space, Elgato offers the Wave Desk Stand. This compact studio arm can be attached to any flat surface, from tables to worktops, and offers a cost-effective alternative to a swivel arm. The Desk Stand is particularly ideal for podcasting or smaller setups. With a price of just €69.99, it is an attractive solution for creators on a budget.
The Desk Stand can not only hold microphones, but also cameras or lighting and is therefore very versatile. With a load capacity of up to 1 kg and three pivot points, the stand is extremely flexible, allowing creators to place their devices in any desired position. It also has integrated cable ties to keep the workplace tidy.
Wave Link 2.0: Audio routing made easy
In addition to the hardware, Elgato is also presenting an important update for its audio mixing software: Wave Link 2.0. This update takes audio routing for content creators to a new level. From now on, users can add apps such as Discord or Spotify to their audio channels with one click, without having to adjust the cumbersome Windows settings. The configuration is retained even after updates, which saves a lot of time and effort.
Wave Link 2.0 also makes it possible to bundle several applications into one channel in order to keep an overview. A particularly practical feature for streamers: all configurations can be integrated directly into an Elgato Stream Deck with just a few clicks. This makes audio control easier and more efficient than ever before.
For perfect sound quality, the new version also offers a sound check function. Users can record an audio test and the software automatically adjusts the sound for the respective setup. Wave Link 2.0 is now available for download as a beta under Windows.
Conclusion
With the new products and updates, Elgato is further expanding its position as a leading provider of content creation tools. The Wave Mic Arm Pro and Wave Desk Stand offer flexibility and professionalism for any type of setup, while Wave Link 2.0 revolutionizes audio control for streamers and podcasters. Both hardware products are available now from the Elgato webstore, the Mic Arm Pro for €119.99 and the Desk Stand for €69.99. The Wave Link 2.0 software is already available as a public beta version.
With these new products, Elgato has created the perfect overall package for content creators who value not only outstanding audio quality but also maximum user-friendliness.
