Studio-Quality Sound. Built for Streaming.

The Elgato Wave:3 is a compact USB condenser microphone designed for streamers, gamers, creators, and anyone who wants clear, detailed audio without a complicated setup.

Advanced Audio Processing

Wave Link Integration

The Wave:3 works seamlessly with Elgato Wave Link, giving you control over your microphone, game audio, music, voice chat, and other audio sources from one place.

Wave Link supports up to 5 custom mixes, allowing you to create separate audio mixes for streaming, recording, monitoring, calls, and more.

You can also use one-click routing and app grouping to organize your audio without constantly changing your computer's system settings.

Clipguard 2.0

Sudden loud sounds can ruin an otherwise great recording. Clipguard 2.0 helps protect your audio from distortion by automatically managing unexpected volume spikes.

Wave FX Processor

The Wave:3 features a dedicated Wave FX Processor that combines hardware and software processing into the microphone's signal path, allowing for advanced voice processing while maintaining a simple setup.

Clear, Detailed Audio

The Wave:3 uses a condenser capsule with a cardioid polar pattern, making it well suited for streaming, gaming, podcasting, voice-over work, and content creation.

Its 70 Hz–20 kHz frequency response, 24-bit resolution, and 48 kHz sample rate provide detailed voice reproduction with plenty of dynamic range.

With a maximum SPL of up to 130 dB, the microphone can also handle louder sound sources without easily becoming overwhelmed.
