I don’t have an audio recording or clip to share with you, unfortunately. But the Wave microphones are made for streamers and podcasters. It has an emphasis on vocals, or it’s strong points is capturing one’s voice. I also used the Wave 1 to capture ambient sounds while doing some unboxings. And I realized that it may be a good microphone for ASMR videos as well. Just may be. The Elgato Wave 1 may not be as versatile compared to the other mics, but it does give you access to Elgato’s Wave Link app that can be pretty useful depending on your setup or needs. If you want to organize different audio sources using one app or software, the Wave Link can be a powerful tool. When we received our Wave: 1 microphone, it came in a blue-themed box displaying an image of the mic at the front. Wave:1, along with Elgato’s logo, is written at the top of the image. Below the mic’s picture, there are some notes about the product.
In this sample, I'm alternating between my normal talking voice, whispering, and shouting to test overall capsule dynamics and the Clipguard technology, which was left on at all times. After that I recorded a sample to further demonstrate the Clipguard technology by turning it off, shouting into the microphone, and then turning it on and repeating the process. Headphone users beware, this is going to be loud! For its sounds, it produced excellent output, and everything was clear and crisp. We didn’t have any problems when using it, and everything went smoothly as well. Voice recording was fantastic and it would be perfect for streaming on Twitch and YouTube.
Elgato uses a steel grille with a multilayered noise shield underneath for smooth sound diffusion and protects the condenser capsule underneath. You can have specific options too. The mic’s stand can be easily detached when mounting the microphone on a boom arm via the provided adapter. There are multiple options for mounting Wave:1 on a boom arm or other stand for increased flexibility and maneuverability. You can mount with a 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, or 5/8 inch screw.
The microphone consists of a 17mm Electret capsule and features a cardioid polar pattern. Elgato gave it a 24-bit resolution with a sample rate of 48kHz. Below is the technical specification of the Elgato Wave:1 microphone. After that let’s take a closer look at the product itself. Elgato Wave 1 Specifications Capsule Now, when chatting with friends, or doing anything in Discord, that sound will play through the Voice Chat input in Wave Link. The beauty of this software is that it works with other audio related software as well. Now, I haven’t tried every single audio software out there. But I can confirm that it works with Voicemod, Audacity, and NVIDIA Broadcast. On the lower portion is the circuitry board of the Wave 1. The circuitry of the Wave 3 may look different since that mic has more controls or functionality compared to the Wave 1.
We consider this as a highly brief but excellent introduction to the mic. However, it’s good to note that Elgato designed this product specifically for streamers and content creators. With that, you can imagine all the whistles and bells that this company has tossed into their latest product line.I didn’t open or dismantle my Wave 1 since I definitely do not want to destroy it. But the photos above show how the insides of this USB microphone looks like. In the first (left-hand) photo, you can see the “premium” condenser capsule that has a cardioid polar pattern. The Wave 1 and Wave 3 have the same condenser by the way. Elgato is a brand that established itself as a go-to name for streamers and content creators. Specifically, they’re a company for people who want to step up their game in the field.
Basically, the Wave: 1 proved exceptionally well during the microphone test. Though even if some keystrokes were heard, it was quieter than what we were expecting.
The Wave:1 or Wave:3 microphone is automatically added as an input to Wave Link. It is required for Wave Link to work. Since the company’s target audience are those who need to be seen, this microphone comes with adequate height and design. It measures 200mm high, and is generally a beautiful piece, making it a stunning addition to your studio’s environment. One key feature I would like to emphasize is Clipguard. It is very useful since it can automatically “clip” sudden (unwanted) audio spikes that may be harsh or too loud to the ear. For example, I tried clapping my hands close to the Wave 1 as loud as I can. As I clap loudly, I can see the volume meter reaching the yellow-red mark, meaning the sound is loud. Once I enable the clipguard and clapped my hands as loud as I can again, the volume meter doesn’t reach the yellow mark at all. Wave Link MicrophoneFX was introduced with Wave Link 1.4 as a third mix. This output does not appear as a mix in Wave Link but can be selected as an Input device in apps such as Discord, Microsoft Teams, and more.
