Description
Quality content requires excellent sound. You need a broadcast-grade microphone that plugs directly into your setup. Plus a mixer with effects to blend and sculpt audio like a pro. Meet Wave:3 — your complete solution.
The white Elgato Wave:3 is a versatile USB electret-condenser microphone designed for a wide variety of podcasting, streaming, gaming, and recording applications. The mic connects to your computer via a USB Type-C connector for recording at resolutions up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. The USB port also supplies a computer return to the microphone, which you can monitor along with your voice, through the 3.5mm headphone jack. Gain control for the microphone, headphone volume, and the blend between your live vocal and the computer is controlled by a convenient knob and easy-to-read LED indicators. A button on top of the mic engages a capacitive mute function.
Elgato’s Wave Link app gives podcasters and streamers control over 9 independent input channels in their Mac or PC, allowing for game audio, voice chat, music, alerts, samples, and more to be blended together in the mix. The included desktop stand features an adjustable U-mount for precise positioning and a padded base to reduce vibration noise. Detach the stand and use the included adapter to attach the Wave:3 to boom stands and suspension arms. A steel grille protects the electret-condenser mic capsule while reducing breath and plosive noise for clearer, more intelligible speech.
