Wave Link 3.0 – Redefining Creator Audio Control

At Elgato, we’re dedicated to empowering creators with tools that make complex workflows simple. Since launch, Wave Link has redefined audio mixing for streamers, podcasters, and professionals alike. Now, with Wave Link 3.0, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned and rebuilt the app from the ground up—faster, more flexible, and open to everyone.

You read that right — Wave Link 3.0 is open to everyone.

Unlike previous versions, you don’t need an Elgato microphone, interface or Stream Deck + to use it. Plug in any mic or audio interface, and you’re ready to mix.

But of course, there are still perks to using Elgato gear. Wave Link 3.0 includes deep device support, enabling tight hardware integration and control.

And the best part? Wave Link 3.0 is completely free.

When the public beta launches, you can download it right away and take control of your audio, no strings attached.

Wave Link 3.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up with new design concepts and native frameworks on both Windows and macOS. The interface is faster, navigation is more fluid, and everything is easier to find.

When you launch Wave Link 3.0 with an Elgato microphone or interface, a first-time setup tour walks you through the basics. The redesigned Device View keeps all your Elgato hardware settings organized and easy to access.

One of the most requested features is here: routing table. Instantly see how audio flows through your setup, with inputs on the left (mics, apps, capture cards, and more) and output mixes along the top. Want to send an input to a mix? Just click the plus button — done.

Wave Link 3.0 supports multiple Elgato Wave devices in a single setup, along with capture cards and other hardware inputs. Up to 4 hardware inputs can be added, plus 8 software channels. Each channel can hold multiple apps, so in practice your software inputs are unlimited.

Configure up to 5 independent output mixes, each with its own routing and effects. Perfect for audience mixes, VOD tracks, Discord feeds, or dual-PC setups. Mixes can be renamed, given custom icons, and sent to multiple hardware outputs at once.

With support for VST3 on Windows and Audio Unit effects on macOS, Wave Link 3.0 is a full digital audio processor. Effects can be applied to hardware and software inputs on a per-input basis for more control. Effects can be installed from Elgato Marketplace directly in Wave Link 3.0, or you can bring your own.

Wave Link 3.0 is available now. We can’t wait for you to try it, share your feedback, and help us shape the future of audio for creators everywhere.
