Review: Great Streaming Mic for Mac Professionals - Clean, Simple, Effective - As a Mac professional with a sleek MacBook Pro 16" M3 and Studio Display setup, the Elgato Wave:3 fits perfectly into my minimalist workspace. This microphone is a game-changer for anyone who does frequent video calls, podcasting, or streaming. Pros: Stunning build quality that matches Apple's aesthetic Super easy USB-C connectivity with my MacBook Pro WaveLink software is intuitive and great for managing audio sources Crisp, clear vocal recording with built-in Clipguard technology Compact design doesn't clutter my clean desk setup Cons: Limited to cardioid pattern (might be restrictive for some) Bass response is slightly under-emphasized Plastic mount feels less premium compared to the mic itself The touch-sensitive mute button and LED indicator are particularly nice touches. For professionals who need a reliable, plug-and-play microphone that looks great and sounds clean, the Elgato Wave:3 is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for Mac users and content creators. Would I buy again? Absolutely. Review: Best usb mic on the market 👍🏼 - I’ve been using this mic since 2020 and What can I say Elgato know their stuff. The sleek look while giving amazing audio quality all while being a usb mic is impressive The mic comes feature rich with a touch to mute on top A 1/4 in Jack for audio monitoring (which can also be done in wave link software if you use wireless headphones) And a multifunctional dial that allows you to control the gain, monitor volume and cross fade between the mic and PC mix. The mic comes with a basic but robust stand but can also be mounted to most mic arms. What I believe sets this mic apart from the others is the wave link software that comes with it allowing you to split your PC audio into submixs. Each application can be set to a submix in windows audio settings ie discord to voice mix and chrome to browser. The ability to have both a normal output for yourself and a stream output makes this great for streamers allowing you full control of what you stream can hear as you can mute a submix for stream or for yourself great if you like listening to music but don’t wanna get DMCA strikes on your stream. The plug in support is also nice for the mic and you can add plug ins to each sub mix and mic individually. I would 100% recommend this mic for anyone wanting a great sounding mic out the box that only get better with the software that comes with it. ## Features - Cardioid condenser capsule: Capture speech with clarity and detail - Wave link app: Control Wave:3 and up to seven other audio sources, plus create two independent mixes - 24-bit/96 kHz Analog-to-Digital converter: Professional broadcast audio quality - Proprietary clipguard technology: Makes distortion virtually impossible - Superior circuitry: Seamless sonic transmission throughout the entire signal chain ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B088HHWC47 | | Antenna Location | Gaming, Streaming | | Audible Noise | 115 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 15 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 817 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 17 in Condenser Microphones 531 in PlayStation 5 Consoles, Games & Accessories | | Box Contents | 1 Mic | | Brand | Elgato | | Brand Name | Elgato | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console, Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Connector type | USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 9,519 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Frequency Range | 48 KHz | | Frequency Response | 96 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840006618072 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions | 12.4 x 14.7 x 25.2 centimetres | | Item Highlight | Cardioid capsule, 24-bit/96kHz audio, Anti-distortion Clipguard, Free mixer software, Plug and play, For Mac and PC | | Item Weight | 1.29 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Corsair | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10MAB9901 | | Microphone Form Factor | Plug On | | Model Name | Wave:3 - Premium Studio Quality USB Condenser Microphone | | Model Number | 10MAB9901 | | Model name | Wave:3 - Premium Studio Quality USB Condenser Microphone | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended uses for product | Gaming, Streaming | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 115 dB | | Special Feature | Clip | | Special feature | Clip | | UPC | 840006618072 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Elgato - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Gaming Console, Personal Computer - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Connector type:** USB - **Included components:** 1 Mic - **Model name:** Wave:3 - Premium Studio Quality USB Condenser Microphone - **Polar pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming, Streaming - **Special feature:** Clip ## Images ![Elgato Wave:3 USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KjhEX33JL.jpg) ![Elgato Wave:3 USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uuWwpq3TL.jpg) ![Elgato Wave:3 USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716ICDcEL5L.jpg) ![Elgato Wave:3 USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O-l90uE3L.jpg) ![Elgato Wave:3 USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nAy2MISsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How is this for voice volume? For example if I am online gaming would my voice be heard clearly and loud enough with the mic? Cheers.** A: You can adjust the gain amount to increase or decrease the volume of your voice. From what I’ve found, you only need it on about 1/3 gain to be heard pretty clear and loud. **Q: How does it connect to pc?** A: It connects via USB-C to USB-A **Q: Would this pick up my mechanical keyboard keys when playing video games? or does it cancel out a lot of background noise? 50cm away/ 1ft at worst case** A: Depends on what mechanical switches you have, 50cm is plenty of distance to cancel out most mechanical switches. If you had clicky razer greens or cherry blues I wouldn't be too sure but pretty much any other switch should be fine **Q: Can this eliminate breathing without having to press to talk or something similar?** A: Eliminate breathing sounds ominous. It is a very heafty bit of kit and if used nefariously I am sure it can eliminate breathing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Streaming Mic for Mac Professionals - Clean, Simple, Effective *by R***E on 27 December 2024* As a Mac professional with a sleek MacBook Pro 16" M3 and Studio Display setup, the Elgato Wave:3 fits perfectly into my minimalist workspace.
