Lewitt and Elgato drop the Wave FX chip for studio audio

Studio-grade audio processing just landed in Elgato's refreshed Wave lineup through a custom chip built by Lewitt.

What the Wave FX chip actually does

• Lewitt engineered a dedicated DSP for Elgato's gear.
• Onboard tools handle EQ, compression, and expansion.
• Its anti-clip limiter mirrors Lewitt's Connect 2 tech.
• A built-in vocal tuner and high-pass filter ship standard.

Wave Link software got a full overhaul

• Elgato's reworked app brings native VST support.
• Low-latency routing pushes one processed signal everywhere.
• Streamers can pipe that output into any app directly.

Products packing the new processor

• Wave:3 MK2 and Wave XLR MK2 are shipping already.
• XLR Dock MK2 dropped at the same time.
• Wave XLR Pro should hit shelves in Q2 2026.
• Lewitt's CEO called it a pro-audio and creator-world mashup.
