Elgato, a brand of Corsair, today announced a limited-edition hardware line in collaboration with the award-winning publisher, Bethesda Softworks. The drop features four products—including a custom Stream Deck and dynamic mic—celebrating one of gaming's most beloved franchises, Fallout. It's now the second time Elgato and Bethesda have teamed up, following the release of Starfield in September 2023.

For Bethesda fans, the partnership is a chance to bring home an original Vault-Tec collectible, coinciding with the Fallout TV series debut on Prime Video. It marks a milestone for Elgato too, as the first time they've developed a custom dynamic mic (Wave DX), audio interface (Wave XLR), or boom arm (Wave Mic Arm LP). In addition to hardware, Elgato revealed a suite of digital assets, including a Pip-Boy-inspired voice modifier—offering creators new ways to express themselves online.



For a limited time, fans can get their hands on this rare Fallout gear via the Elgato website.

"We're thrilled to bring such iconic storytelling to life," said Taylor Ward, Director of Ecosystem at Elgato. "Now creators can wander the wastelands from the comfort of their desk, with tech that really makes a difference."

Stream Deck: Fallout Edition
Surviving the wastes requires laser-fast reflexes. Like a Vault Dweller's trusty Pip-Boy, Stream Deck places controls right at your fingertips—so you're never slow on the draw. It's adorned in iconic artwork and endlessly customizable, as one-of-a-kind as your in-game reputations.

Wave DX: Fallout Edition
When one wrong word means getting blasted to bits, Wave DX ensures clear communication. It's a dynamic microphone that sounds incredible right out of the box—and looks great in RAD green. So listeners hear your voice perfectly, whether you're bartering scrap or commanding squadmates.

Wave XLR: Fallout Edition
Powered by Wave XLR, your microphone cuts through the static of the wastes like a .308 round. It's an all-in-one audio interface and mixer, in a design inspired by post-nuclear Americana. With sound this clear and controls this easy, you'll own the airwaves like the best wasteland DJs.

Wave Mic Arm LP: Fallout Edition
In a world of raiders and killer robots, it helps to keep a low profile. Wave Mic Arm LP holds your microphone in position, while laying low to free up your view. Push it aside, swing it back, rotate 360 degrees—Mic Arm LP is there when you need it, decked out in atompunk flair.

Vault Overseer Kits
Fans can also opt to bundle three or more devices:
  • Vault Overseer Broadcast Kit: Stream Deck, Wave DX, Wave XLR, and Wave Mic Arm LP
  • Vault Overseer Audio Kit: Wave DX, Wave XLR, and Wave Mic Arm LP
Each bundle not only offers savings at checkout, but also includes a free XLR cable. They could well be the most complete, custom audio and control solutions available on the market today.

Made to Mod
Beyond hardware, Elgato and Bethesda Softworks are offering a collection of digital assets for fans. Available separately, and for free, creators can personalize their online identity in Fallout style. The collection includes:
  • Pip-Boy-inspired icons for Stream Deck, allowing users to tailor the appearance of their keys
  • Stream Deck screensavers featuring memorable Vault-Tec scenes for moments of inactivity
  • A voice modifier equipped with a range of presets and settings based on the franchise's iconic audio environments

Is this a 'render'? Those little 'dots' around the display, don't even line up w/ the pho-plate underneath.
Or, is this all just vinyl applique/printing?

NtM, putting "48V" on anything electronics, isn't a good idea. Unless, it's actually Telecomm/Industry -48V powered.

One'd think, with all their constant income from their subscription-only model that, they'd do better.

Where are the vacuum tubes , CRT displays, holotapes? Lame, non-canon poser rubbish, pfft.
On the bright side, this might serve as inspiration for a Genuine Effort indie project.


-China hasn't stopped making 'vacuum tube' amplifiers.

-Mini-CRTs are still find-able, out of portable TV-Radios, etc.

-"Tape" storage, never died.

-"Cassette Tape" (as in 'mix tape') can and has been used for data.
(+more than a few DIY projects out there for USB/RS232/AudioCodec-modulator digital R/W "Cassette" data storage.)

If we got an actual mini display / diagnostic screen under the Pip-Boy name, that would be cool. But this gear seems useless to me. Pip-Boy is not a streaming device.

Fallout is dead, interesting...
There's an attempt at reviving it in the form of a TV series. Whether it'll be worth watching, though, I have my doubts.

I believe the dots are the volume markers. There is no plate, it's a flat surface.

48v phantom power has been the standard since the 1960's. Why should elgato try to change it now?
Fair.
-48VDC is and has been common to telecomm and server/industrial. 28VDC appears to be the current-day Mil-Spec

'Bet this is USB 5V powered (and I sincerely want to see someone shove the 'marked' 48V into it)

Went thru the site 3 diff ways. I cannot find a spec sheet anywhere. -Just more and more marketing wank.

1713066864419.png

There's definitely a USB(-c?) port there.

Edit:
on the non-S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Edition

1713068532779.png

It's a 48V Phantom power out.

'Still having trouble finding a "true specifications sheet" but,
w/ only 1 XLR Mic-in(48V PhantomPower-out) I can only presume that the unit is USB-C powered.

Yes, it's USB-C (5V DC) powered. It has a 48 VDC, 7mA output.

Regardless, my original assumption that the 48V marking was also 'for show', was incorrect.
Even on the basemodel, it has a function.
