Description

The Elgato Wave DX is made for Broadcasters, Podcasters, Commentators, and Creators.

Features:

  • Warm, true tone for professional audio production
  • Detail and clarity without unwanted ambient noise
  • Forgiving Cardioid Polar Pattern, so you still sound good even if slightly off-axis
  • Works with any XLR Interface, no amplifier required
  • Ready for livestreams
  • Frequency response range that reproduces the human voice without coloration
  • In collaboration with Lewitt Audio, the dynamic capsule is a remarkable feat of audio engineering
  • Optimized proximity effect that allows you to shape your voice naturally
  • Constructed with nylon fibers and internal pop shield for breath sounds
  • Dynamic microphone that captures detail in low and dynamic high frequencies
  • Monophonic swivel mount, compatible with all microphone arms
  • XLR connection, compatible with any XLR Interface and ideally with the Wave XLR

Technical details:

  • Dimensions: 53 x 53 x 146 mm
  • Weight: 440 g
  • Polar pattern: Cardioid
  • Capsule: Dynamic
  • Frequency: 50 - 15000 Hz
  • Sensitivity: 2.5 mV/Pa, -52 dBV/Pa
  • Impedance: 600 Ohm

Works with any XLR interface

The Wave DX works seamlessly with the Wave XLR, a compact USB interface with features you won't find in conventional audio interfaces. Like proprietary anti-distortion technology, a capacitive mute button, direct integration with Wave Link mixing software, and an interchangeable front panel.

Thousands of Effects from the Marketplace

Add audio effects from the Marketplace or third-party VST plugins directly to the Wave Link mixer, without requiring manual installation. Apply them to any input channel - like your microphone, game, or voice chat - and then adjust the settings to create a sound that's entirely your own.

Ready for livestreams

The well-tuned frequency response range accurately reproduces the human voice without timbre, ideal for shaping your characteristic sound with effects and additional settings.

Magic Capsule

In collaboration with Lewitt Audio, the dynamic capsule inside the Wave DX is a remarkable feat of audio engineering.

True Performer

An optimized proximity effect allows you to shape your voice naturally. The closer you get, the greater the bass, allowing you to emphasize whatever you want.

Clearer than ever

A dynamic microphone with details like a condenser? Exactly. The Wave DX captures detail in the low frequency and dynamic high frequencies, while rejecting background noise. It's hard to find a microphone that can do both.

  • The Wave DX is one of those microphones that made me say, “okay, Elgato really nailed it here.” It’s a dynamic XLR mic, with a clean and fairly detailed voice, but at the same time it keeps that controlled, broadcast character we want for podcasting, voice-over, and streaming. Elgato itself designs it to work with any XLR interface, without a booster.

    Compared to the Rode PodMic, I wouldn’t say there is a “better and worse.” It’s more a matter of character. The Wave DX is cleaner and brighter, with a greater sense of detail in the voice, while the PodMic has a thicker, fuller, and more distinctly “radio-like” sound. In comparative tests, in fact, the Wave DX has been described as very close to the PodMic, with a bit more clarity and less “crunch.”

    But here there is something I really like: you don’t need to buy a booster/lifter just because you bought the microphone. With 600Ω and a sensitivity of -52 dBV/Pa, it naturally needs a proper XLR preamp/interface, but Elgato has designed it so it can be driven normally by a standard XLR interface.

    And compared to a €30 microphone, this is where the difference starts to show—not so much in “how it sounds,” but in how it sounds. More controlled voice, better room rejection, and an easier foundation for EQ/compression. It’s not a magic filter, though; if the room is terrible or the gain staging is wrong, you’ll hear that here too.

    On the downside, I’d keep two things in mind. The built-in pop filter is good, but it’s not a reason to throw away the external Gravity we saw earlier, while the body, although metal, doesn’t have the “tank” feel of the PodMic. The Wave DX is about 440 g, while the PodMic is noticeably heavier.

    My verdict: a very strong microphone for the money, and if someone wants a clean voice for podcasting/streaming without jumping straight into an expensive broadcast setup, it’s one of the options I would seriously consider. But as with the PodMic, the microphone is only half the story; the interface, the preamp, the distance from the mouth, and the correct gain make the difference.
