Elgato Wave DX (2022)

The Wave DX is a cardioid dynamic broadcast microphone that connects over a single 3-pin XLR output and needs no signal booster, unlike many low-output dynamic mics. Because it is purely analog, it requires an audio interface or mixer with an XLR input — there is no USB on the mic itself. Its dynamic capsule rejects room noise and handles loud sources up to high SPL without distortion. To get it running you need one balanced XLR cable plus an interface that supplies clean gain.

Elgato’s cardioid dynamic XLR broadcast mic with a single 3-pin XLR output and no USB — needs an audio interface to run.
