Auf der Suche nach einem USB Audiointerface, dass genug Vorverstärkerleistung für ein dynamisches Mikrofon (in meinem Fall das T.Bone BC 500) mitbringt, wurde mir vom Thomann Personal das Elgato Wave XLR empfohlen und es war wirklich eine gute Empfehlung und ich restlos zufrieden.

The XLR input supports USB, condenser, and dynamic mics. It also includes a noise gate and compressor for better control of environmental sounds. The knob (as would be expected) is turned to set your levels, but to switch functions, you need only press the knob down. It will switch between microphone gain, headphone volume and monitoring mix, allowing you to decide the balance between how much of your mic you hear and how much you hear everything else being sent to your headphones.Die robuste Bauweise des Wave XLR unterstreicht die hohe Qualität des Geräts. Die hochwertigen Materialien und die präzise Verarbeitung gewährleisten eine lange Lebensdauer und machen den Wave XLR zu einer verlässlichen Investition. The Live Streamer Nexus also has companion software for digital outputs that can be used to independently control your sound.

It’s the easiest mixer to set up in this entire list, and it may even feel basic compared to other XLR options. The Wave XLR has a maximum input and output level of 10V @ 0dB gain and 77 mW respectively. Resolution is 24-bit then its sample rate is 48 / 96kHz.There is a bit of self noise to be aware of, but it’s not bad. Underneath your speech is a tiny amount of white noise. It’s typical to microphones at this price, and is easy to remedy with even a very minor noise gate or noise suppressor, but is still something to know about going in. It’s small enough that you might not even mind, but if you want total silence for voice-over work, a suppressor or gate will be necessary.
