3. Clipguard Technology
Elgato's proprietary Clipguard technology automatically reroutes audio through a secondary signal path that runs at a lower volume. This prevents audio clipping and distortion, even when input levels peak unexpectedly, ensuring your audio remains clean and clear.

4. Wave Link Software
The Wave Link application is a digital mixer that allows you to control the Wave:1 and up to eight other audio sources. It enables you to create two independent output mixes: one for yourself (monitor mix) and one for your audience (stream mix). This software also supports VST plugins for advanced audio processing.
