The Wave DX dynamic microphone from Elgato is designed for podcasters, streamers, and content creators. It is designed to deliver audio performance similar to condenser microphones, but without unwanted noise.
It features a tolerant cardioid polar pattern for unidirectional pickup and a stronger-than-usual output signal, so you can achieve a full, rich sound without the need for in-line microphone amplifiers.

Connect Wave DX with a standard 3-pin XLR cable to any interface, mixer or preamp. It needs neither phantom power nor a booster.
The mic is top-address and sounds best 8–12 cm from your mouth. Elgato recommends starting at 45 dB of gain and fine-tuning from there.
The swivel mount has a 5/8″ thread, with 3/8″ and 1/4″ adapters in the box. Mount it on either side and rotate the logo for the camera.
As a dynamic microphone, Wave DX limits room sound and background noise compared with many condensers – a strong choice for streaming, podcasting and recording in shared or less-than-perfect spaces.

Nylon fibre between two layers of foam reduces plosives.
Hardened steel is extra durable and reduces internal noise artifacts.
Through an interface such as Wave XLR, mix, route and add VST effects.
The frequency response is specially tuned for the human voice, and the optimized proximity effect allows for easier close-up pickup for full and rich-sounding vocal recordings. This microphone is the ideal choice for modern content creators.
The Wave DX features an internal pop filter that significantly reduces explosive sounds (plosives) during recording, and a hardened steel chassis that increases durability and reduces internal noise artifacts.
The microphone includes an adjustable swivel yoke mount with a 5/8" thread, compatible with all arms and designed to prevent cable blockage. The package also includes 3/8" and 1/4" adapters for mounting on classic microphone stands.
Magic capsule
Developed in collaboration between Elgato and Lewitt, the Wave DX's dynamic capsule is exceptional— it captures sound with the detail and sensitivity of a condenser microphone, but without the excessive noise that is often associated with them. With natural bass and smooth highs, the Wave DX offers a balanced sound that is unusual for dynamic microphones, while effectively suppressing ambient noise.
Broadcast-ready
The precisely tuned frequency response range reproduces the voice faithfully and without coloration. This makes the Wave DX ideal for creating your own distinctive sound without the need for external effects or equalization.
Velvety voice
An internal pop filter, made of acoustically optimized nylon fiber sandwiched between two layers of foam, effectively reduces popping sounds.
Rotating logo
The Wave DX microphone canbe mounted on either side, and the logo can be rotated so that it always looks right on camera. This gives you the freedom to present yourself exactly the way you want.
Ready out of the box. Warm, true-to-life sound, clarity without background noise, a forgiving cardioid pattern and any XLR interface.

No coloration. The 50 Hz – 15 kHz frequency response is tuned for voice and gives a clean base for effects and EQ.

Capsule by Lewitt Audio. The dynamic capsule was selected in close cooperation with the Austrian maker Lewitt Audio.

Proximity effect. Your distance from the mic controls the amount of bass and fullness of your voice.

Internal pop shield. Layers of foam and nylon fibre tame plosives without an external filter.

Detail and noise rejection. Wave DX combines detailed vocals with resistance to room noise.

Build. Removable logo, swivel mount, hardened steel chassis and XLR output.
