Elgato announces Stream Deck MK.2, Facecam, Wave XLR and more, available now

Elgato is a company every streamer or content creator should know because they are the source of some of the most popular PC and streaming accessories like the Elgato 4K60S + capture device and the Elgato Wave 3 condenser microphone. Today, Elgato’s already impressive range of accessories is expanding with several new additions, many of which are available now. Elgato’s ads are so exciting, in fact, that Elgato’s website is struggling to keep up with the influx of traffic.

Along with new product announcements, Elgato released a new Studio Configurator to help you customize your setup and plan ahead before you buy, so you can get the best streaming setup for your budget.

You can read more about everything Elgato has announced below. You can also find many links to Elgato’s website if you are interested in any of these products.

Elgato Stream Deck MK.2

The Elgato Stream Deck is an incredibly popular device that features up to 15 programmable buttons that streamers and content creators can use for any number of uses. The Stream Deck is an invaluable tool for many users, and now it’s updated with an MK.2.

Featuring the same 15 programmable buttons and customizable icons, the Stream Deck MK.2 offers interchangeable faceplates, detachable stand and now uses a versatile and standardized USB Type-C port for connectivity. Now your Stream Deck is even more personal and versatile. Stream Deck MK.2 is available now, with several choices of fronts, starting at $ 150.

Elgato Facecam

Elgato already offers the Elgato Multi Mount to make it easier to use the camera of your choice as a high quality face camera, but now Elgato wants to make the process as easy as possible with their own official solution. The Elgato Facecam is a 1080p / 60 FPS camera that aims to deliver the perfect experience for streamers with built-in memory for easy settings, setup and assembly, and an included privacy filter.

The Elgato Facecam also doesn’t include built-in microphones, so you don’t have to worry about interference. The Facecam is all about “plug-and-play” convenience. Much like the Stream Deck MK.2, the Elgato Facecam is already available for purchase direct from Elgato and will cost $ 200. The Elgato Facecam may have a decent chance of becoming one of the best webcams for PC.

Elgato Wave XLR

The Wave XLR is a microphone interface and digital mixer, and aims to pair with your existing Elgato mic to give you extra power and control you wouldn’t have otherwise. It is equipped with an anti-distortion system, a microphone mute button, integration with Elgato’s Wave Link mixing software, customizable facades, a multifunction control wheel, a USB Type-C connectivity and a way to connect your microphone and surveillance helmet.

The Wave XLR is available now for $ 160 and also has a handful of customizable faceplates available for purchase. Other facades will come in the future.

Elgato Wave Mic Arm and Wave Mic Arm LP

Another product to pair with your microphone, the Elgato Wave Mic Arm aims to make it as easy as possible to position your microphone exactly the way you want it and move it when you need it. There are two variations of the Wave Mic Arm to choose from. The standard variant is larger but is designed to be as flexible as possible with tons of control, included counterweights for heavier pickups, and more. The LP variant isn’t as flexible, but it’s designed to be “low profile” and blend in with the background without taking up a lot of space.

Both Mic Arm variants are fully adjustable, easy and secure to set up, and support a wide variety of mics, including the best microphones for streaming. The Elgato Wave Mic Arm is available now for $ 100, and the Wave Mic Arm LP is the same price.

Other announcements

Elgato decided to take it by storm today with several major product announcements, but they’ve sprinkled some smaller ones as well. Elgato also announced the Master Mount S, or a more advanced version of their regular mount, the wall mount for Elgato Facecam, and the light strip extension kit, which does exactly what you expect from it.
