Elgato Wave:3 Microphone

OVERVIEW
The Elgato Wave:3 Premium Microphone and Digital Mixing Solution (p/n 10MAB9901) is the ultimate tool for content creators looking to elevate their audio quality. This sleek and powerful microphone features a steel grille for smooth sound diffusion and ultimate capsule protection, ensuring that your voice is captured with precision and clarity.

The heavy duty desk stand of the Wave:3 includes a U-mount and padded base for stability and versatility. The multifunctional dial allows you to tweak input gain, adjust headphone volume, and crossfade between your microphone and PC mix. The multilayered noise shield keeps plosive noises at bay, allowing for a cleaner and more professional sound.

Equipped with a premium condenser capsule and a cardioid polar pattern fine-tuned for speech, the Wave:3 captures verbal nuances with broadcast-grade detail and clarity.

The Wave:3 also features a high-power headphone output for crystal clear, zero-latency monitoring, as well as a capacitive mute function for silent disengagement of the microphone input. It also comes with a multi adapter, making it compatible with all mainstream boom arms for effortless setup and control.

But the Wave:3 is not just a microphone. It is a complete solution for creators, as it is designed to work seamlessly with the Wave Link software. With up to nine independent input channels, you can blend audio sources in real time, including game audio, voice chat, music, alerts, and more. And with the ability to create two independent output mixes, you can monitor your audio and your audiences audio separately.

Stream Deck integration allows for even more control, with the ability to set keys to mute sources, adjust levels, and even control lighting and camera settings with a single tap. This hybrid mixing solution is like no other, providing creators with the tools they need to take their content to the next level.

About The Elgato Wave:3 Microphone
Wave:3 Premium Microphone and Digital Mixing Solution

TAILORED FOR CREATORS

Quality content requires excellent sound. You need a broadcast-grade microphone that plugs directly into your setup, and a mixer to blend audio sources with ease. Meet Wave:3 — your complete solution.

BRILLIANT BY DESIGN

Elegant architecture. Impeccable audio. Robust, tactile control. Wave:3 looks and sounds the part without stealing the show.

LEWITT AUDIO INSIDE

Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, LEWITT Audio subjects its microphones to rigorous calibration and quality control in world-class testing facilities with seasoned sound engineers. That’s how they get their microphones into legendary recording studios, and why we’ve equipped Wave microphones with their audio technology. It’s how you get that sonic signature your audience will notice.

GET AMPED WITHOUT CLIPPING

Now you don’t need to watch levels while live, nor attempt to salvage distorted audio in post production. When input levels peak, proprietary Clipguard technology instantly reroutes sound through a second signal path that runs at a lower volume. The result is clean audio output, no matter how loud you scream.

WAVE LINK: THE CREATOR’S MIXER

Intuitive software custom-built for content creation, Wave Link gives you ultimate control of your Twitch stream, YouTube video or podcast audio.
