Overview

Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 Black USB condenser microphone on its included desk stand

Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 Black: Voice Control at Your Desk

Record commentary, host a podcast or join a call with a USB microphone that puts sound shaping and everyday controls within reach. Wave:3 MK.2 combines a cardioid condenser capsule with Wave FX processing, Clipguard 2.0 and direct headphone monitoring.

Start with the included desk stand and USB-C cable. Use the dial and mute sensor during a session, then open Wave Link when you want to refine effects or create separate audio mixes.

Key Features

24-bit / 48 kHz

Detailed digital capture for speech and content creation.

Wave FX

Five hardware DSP effects for shaping your voice.

Auto Gain

Calibrate the level for your normal speaking voice.

Direct Monitoring

Hear raw or hardware-processed audio without delay.

A Cardioid Capsule Focused on Your Voice

The 16 mm condenser capsule uses an integrated JFET and tuning developed with LEWITT. Its cardioid pickup pattern favors sound in front of the microphone, while the built-in pop filter helps reduce bursts of air from speech.

The microphone records at 24-bit / 48 kHz with a 70–20,000 Hz frequency response. It offers 110 dB dynamic range and a typical maximum sound pressure level of 130 dBSPL at 1 kHz.

Microphone arms and other studio equipment shown are sold separately.

Shape Your Sound with Onboard DSP

Wave FX Processor handles five audio effects inside the microphone. Configure them in Wave Link and monitor their combined result directly through the headphone output.

All five effects can operate together, letting you build a sound that suits your voice and recording environment.

Low-Cut Filter

Reduce low-frequency rumble from the desk or room.

Expander

Reduce quieter background sounds around your speech.

Voice Tune

Add compression and harmonic character to your voice.

Compressor

Bring quieter and louder moments closer in level.

4-Band Equalizer

Adjust tonal balance across four frequency bands.

Clipguard 2.0 for Sudden Loud Moments

An unexpected laugh or louder delivery can push a recording into distortion. Clipguard 2.0 uses multiple conversion paths, internal 32-bit float processing and digital limiting to manage peaks before the audio reaches your recording or call.

The microphone’s recording output remains 24-bit / 48 kHz. Clipguard’s internal processing provides protection within the signal path; it is separate from the recording format.

Control Your Session from the Microphone

Dial, Meter and Mute

Press the dial to select input gain, Voice Tune, headphone volume or monitor mix, then turn it to adjust. The LED ring shows status and levels. Tap the top sensor to mute or unmute, and personalize LED colors and brightness in Wave Link.

Calibrate with Auto Gain

Hold the dial for 5 seconds and speak at your normal volume. Auto Gain analyzes your voice and sets the starting level. A filled green LED ring confirms completion; if it turns red, repeat the calibration. Fine-tune the result in Wave Link.

Add Computer-Based Effects with VST Inserts

VST Insert sends microphone audio through Wave Link on your computer for plugin processing, then returns it to the hardware audio path. Applications using the microphone receive that processed signal, so your chosen effects can follow you between recording, streaming and calls.

Add compatible noise removal, reverb or creative voice effects. Wave Link supports third-party VST3 plugins on Windows and AU plugins on macOS.

VST effects require the computer and Wave Link to run. Plugin requirements and licensing vary, and some effects introduce additional monitoring latency.

Manage Your Audio in Wave Link

The free Wave Link application brings microphone settings, effects and audio routing together. Wave Link 3 supports up to five independent mixes, allowing different levels and sources for your headphones, livestream or recording.

Group applications into channels and choose where each source goes. Add a compatible Stream Deck with the Wave Link plugin for physical access to supported audio controls.

Software interfaces may change with updates. Stream Deck is sold separately.

USB-C Connection and Headphone Monitoring

Rear USB-C port and 3.5 mm headphone jack on Elgato Wave:3 MK.2

Connect the included 2.5 m USB-C-to-USB-C cable directly to your computer. The rear USB 2.0 High Speed connection carries the microphone audio, while the 3.5 mm stereo jack accepts wired headphones.

Choose raw microphone monitoring or listen with onboard DSP at zero latency. You can also include VST effects using the low-latency Wave Link path. Adjust the monitor mix to balance your voice with computer audio.

Headphones up to 250 ohms are supported. Available output volume decreases with higher impedance, and VST monitoring delay depends on the plugins and setup.

Windows, Mac and Compatible Mobile Devices

Windows and Mac

For the desktop setup, use Windows 11 or newer, or macOS 14.2 or newer, with a USB-C port. Basic microphone operation works without Wave Link; use the app to configure hardware effects, run VST Inserts and manage mixes.

Phones and Tablets

Wave:3 MK.2 works with devices supporting USB Audio Class 2.0 (UAC2). Configured hardware effects transfer to a compatible mobile device. VST effects remain computer-based, and changing hardware effect settings requires reconnecting to Wave Link on a computer.

Compatible tablet, microphone arm and shock mount shown are sold separately.

Position It for Clear Speech

Speak into the front of the microphone from about 10–20 cm away. The included desk stand gets you started, while the 1/4-inch mounting thread and supplied 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch adapters support compatible microphone arms.

For adjustable placement and more desk space, consider the Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro. The microphone weighs 250 g without the included stand, or 570 g with it attached.

An optional low-profile arm and Wave Shock Mount are pictured. Microphone arms and shock mounts are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an external audio interface or Wave Link to use the microphone?

No external audio interface is needed. Connect Wave:3 MK.2 directly by USB-C and select it as your microphone. Basic operation works without Wave Link. Install Wave Link to customize hardware effects, use VST Inserts and manage audio mixes. The desktop requirements are Windows 11 or newer, or macOS 14.2 or newer.

What is the difference between onboard DSP and VST Inserts?

The five onboard DSP effects run on the microphone’s Wave FX Processor. VST Inserts run through Wave Link on your computer, then return the processed signal to the microphone’s audio path. VST effects require the computer and software, and may add latency depending on the plugin and setup.

Does Wave:3 MK.2 record at 24-bit or 32-bit float?

Its recording specification is 24-bit at 48 kHz. Clipguard 2.0 uses 32-bit float processing internally as part of its protection system. That internal processing does not change the microphone’s specified 24-bit recording output.

Can I use it with a phone or tablet?

Yes, if the device supports USB Audio Class 2.0 (UAC2). Your configured hardware effects transfer to the compatible mobile device, but VST effects do not. Reconnect the microphone to a Windows or Mac computer with Wave Link when you need to adjust hardware effect settings.

How should I position the microphone?

Speak into the front of the microphone, where the Elgato logo and control dial are located. Position it about 10–20 cm from your mouth. The included desk stand supports tabletop use, and the 1/4-inch mounting thread with supplied adapters supports compatible microphone arms.

How do I use Auto Gain?

Press and hold the front dial for 5 seconds, then speak at your normal volume while the wizard calibrates the level. When the LED ring fills and turns green, calibration is complete. If it turns red, run the calibration again.

Can I monitor my voice with headphones?

Yes. Connect wired headphones to the rear 3.5 mm jack. Wave Link lets you monitor the raw signal, hardware DSP, or DSP plus VST effects. Raw and onboard DSP monitoring are zero latency; VST monitoring may add delay. Headphones up to 250 ohms are supported, with lower available volume at higher impedance.

Are the stand, cable and shock mount included?

The box includes Wave:3 MK.2 Black, a desk stand, a 2.5 m USB-C-to-USB-C cable, and 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch thread adapters. Wave Shock Mount, microphone arms, headphones and Stream Deck are sold separately.
