Elgato Wave XLR and Wave DX mic review: A superior sound input

Premium Dynamic Capsule, Speech Optimized: Captures exceptional detail and clarity, warm, true-to-life sound character. Works With Any Audio

Elgato Wave DX - Dynamic XLR Microphone, Cardioid Pattern, Noise Rejection, Speech optimised for Podcasting, Streaming, Broadcasting, No Signal

Elgato Wave:3 White - Premium Studio Quality USB Condenser

A dynamic microphone that picks up detail like a condenser, Wave DX captures luscious highs and accurate lows while rejecting room noise. It’s hard to find a mic that can do both. Connect any XLR audio interface, no signal booster is necessary. A wide, forgiving cardioid polar pattern gives you permission to veer off-axis and still be heard. An optimized proximity effect lets you shape your sound on a whim.
