Elevate your recording and streaming experience to a professional level with the Elgato Wave:1 Premium USB Microphone & Digital Mixing Solution, model 10MAA9901. Designed for podcasters, content creators, and gamers seeking outstanding audio quality at home, the office, or the studio, the Wave:1 offers precision engineering and innovative
features that set it apart.
At its heart lies a 17mm Electret condenser capsule with a cardioid polar pattern, ensuring your voice is captured with exceptional clarity and detail while effectively isolating unwanted background noise. The microphone covers a wide frequency range from 70 Hz to 20,000 Hz, allowing it to reproduce every nuance—from deep lows to sparkling highs. With a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 120dB, and up to 140dB when Clipguard is engaged, you can record confidently without distortion, even during the most dynamic moments.
Elgato’s proprietary Clipguard technology is a standout feature, making audio distortion virtually impossible by automatically rerouting overloaded signals. The 24-bit/48kHz analog-to-digital converter ensures broadcast-quality audio output, faithfully delivering every word and note with pristine clarity. Superior circuitry maintains seamless sonic transmission throughout the signal chain, so your recordings are always clean and professional.
The Wave: 1 connects via a modern USB-C interface for fast and reliable connectivity to your PC or laptop, while the 3.5mm stereo headphone port allows for real-time audio monitoring during recording and streaming. The included 2.5m (8.2ft) cable gives you flexibility in placement and setup, complemented by a sturdy base that keeps the microphone secure on any surface.
A key highlight is the Wave Link app, empowering you to control the Wave:1 and up to eight other audio sources, plus create two independent audio mixes. This is ideal for livestreaming, interviews, or producing high-quality videos, giving you total control over your sound environment.
- The microphone weighs just 8.64 oz (245g) with the included U-Mount, making it lightweight and portable. For enhanced vibration isolation, a shock mount is available separately. Its sleek black design fits seamlessly into any workspace, gaming setup, or studio environment.
