The Elgato Wave:1 is a USB condenser microphone aimed at streamers, pairing a cardioid capsule with Elgato's Wave Link mixing software. It connects over a USB-C port on the mic (USB 2.0 class) to a USB-A cable on the computer, and adds a 3.5mm headphone jack for low-latency monitoring with USB audio playback. There are no analog outputs — it is a pure USB device, so the only cables that matter are the USB-C lead and your headphones.
