Let’s break down everything that’s arriving with the latest in voice technology.
Focus your speech and give it an edge
Voice Focus, a tool developed in collaboration with ai|coustics, brings cutting-edge vocal enhancements to Elgato Wave mic and audio interface users. By leveraging ai|coustics’ advanced machine learning technology, the tool removes unwanted noise, room reverb, and echo while isolating the user’s voice and elevating it to professional-quality standards.
Designed for users who may not have the knowledge or patience to configure audio effects, Voice Focus delivers studio-grade results in seconds. Whether streaming, podcasting, or meeting, everyone sounds professional—even in spaces with poor acoustics.
Make routing more simple
Wave Link’s revamped app routing setup makes managing multiple channels a breeze. One-Click Audio Routing allows users to instantly assign apps to channels, simplifying setup while maintaining flexibility. For better organization, App Grouping consolidates multiple apps under a single input channel, while Input Channel Renaming lets users personalize channel names for clarity. Channel Hiding keeps the interface clean by removing unused inputs.
Together, these enhancements streamline workflows, enabling users to focus on their content rather than troubleshooting their setup.
Wave Link 2.0 delivers effects easily
At the same time, Wave Link delivers professional-grade audio effects that empower creators and professionals alike to achieve exceptional sound quality. Elgato effects like Compressor, De-Esser, Equalizer, and ReverbFX allow for precise fine-tuning without hassle, while support for third-party VST2, VST3, and AU plugins unlock extensive possibilities for sonic customization. Users can also explore Elgato Marketplace, the go-to destination for creators looking to elevate their content.
With a growing library of digital assets made by Elgato and an ever-expanding community of contributors, it offers a multitude of tools and presets by top creators like EposVox and Harris Heller. Once users have downloaded and adjusted their effects in Wave Link, a built-in Sound Check tool lets them preview their settings and make last-minute adjustments to ensure that their audio is polished before going live or joining a meeting.
The Stream Deck Advantage
Integration with Stream Deck is seamless and takes control to the next level. As part of the Elgato ecosystem, users can export Wave Link settings to Stream Deck with one click. Their audio controls will automatically populate the interface to resemble that of a hardware mixer, eliminating the need to navigate software during critical moments and keeping users’ focus where it matters most—on their message and audience.
