The Elgato Wave:3 is a USB electret-condenser microphone designed for creators who need clear, controlled vocal capture for streaming, podcasting, gaming, and recording. It delivers up to 24-bit / 96 kHz audio via USB-C, with built-in monitoring so you can hear your voice and computer audio in real time through the 3.5mm headphone output.
A single multifunction dial gives fast control over mic gain, headphone volume, and mix balance between voice and system audio. The capacitive mute button on the top provides instant silence when needed, while Clipguard automatically prevents harsh clipping by switching to a lower-level signal path during peaks. With Elgato’s Wave Link software, you can manage multiple audio sources and build separate mixes for yourself and your audience, giving more precise control over live production.
Ideal for streamers, podcasters, gamers, and content creators who want a simple USB microphone with advanced audio control and reliable vocal clarity.
The Wave:3 connects directly to your computer via USB-C, providing both power and audio transmission. Your voice is captured by the cardioid condenser capsule, designed to focus on sound from the front while reducing unwanted room noise. The built-in controls let you adjust levels and monitoring without needing external hardware or mixers.
The included desktop stand provides stable positioning with an adjustable mount, while the boom arm adapter allows integration into more permanent streaming or studio setups.
It combines a studio-style microphone capsule with simple USB connectivity and built-in digital control. Instead of relying on external mixers, most adjustments are handled directly on the mic or through Wave Link software, making it a streamlined option for live production.
