Elgato - Wave:3 MK.2 USB Condenser Microphone
Wave:3 MK.2
Until now, better sound meant more equipment, more configuration, and greater complexity. Wave:3 changes that. Professional effects run directly on the device, shaping your voice and preventing clipping in real time. The most important controls are right on the microphone, and you can add VST effects without slowing down your workflow. No extra equipment. No complicated setup. Just great sound from the very start.
EFFORTLESS BY DESIGN
Great sound shouldn’t require constant attention. Wave:3 gives you intuitive tools to quickly refine your sound, then the confidence that everything is under control. This lets you focus your energy on what truly matters: your content.
Professional processing
Your voice passes through Clipguard, the built-in DSP, and VST effects in one continuous signal path. This gives you studio-quality sound with ultra-fast monitoring, without all the complexity of routing.
ONE APP FOR ALL YOUR AUDIO
Wave Link gives you complete control over your Wave hardware, but that’s just the beginning. Apply and customize effects, add a soundboard to voice chat, create a separate mix for recording, and much more. Everything you need for professional sound—in one place.
