Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 Microphone - Black

The Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 is a USB condenser microphone built for streamers, podcasters, and content creators who want professional-grade audio without a complicated setup. It combines a 16 mm condenser capsule with onboard DSP processing, Clipguard 2.0 distortion protection, and VST insert support — all in a single plug-and-play device. If you're serious about your sound but don't want to wrestle with a full studio rig, this is the mic.

Key Features

• Wave FX Processor with Onboard DSP — A custom chip co-developed with LEWITT Audio runs real-time voice shaping effects directly on the microphone, so you get studio-grade processing without routing complexity.
• Clipguard 2.0 — Anti-distortion technology monitors your signal and protects against sudden loud sounds, keeping your recordings and streams clean no matter what happens.
• VST Inserts — Apply VST effects directly to your mic's signal path so every app receives the same processed audio, with no virtual audio devices required.
• Auto Gain — An intelligent algorithm finds your optimal gain level automatically, saving you the guesswork of dialling in levels before every session.
• Multifunction Dial with LED Ring — Control gain, Voice Tune, headphone volume, and monitor mix from the mic itself, with a live LED ring displaying your current settings and audio levels at a glance.
• Zero-Latency Headphone Monitoring — The 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack delivers real-time monitoring of both your voice (with onboard DSP applied) and system audio, with no perceptible delay.
• Wave Link Integration — The free Wave Link app unlocks up to five custom mixes, one-click app routing, app grouping, VST effects, a soundboard, and AI-powered Voice Focus noise suppression.
