Do I need Wave Link software to use Wave:3 MK.2?
No. Wave:3 MK.2 works standalone as a plug-and-play USB microphone. Installing the free Wave Link software unlocks advanced features like multi-channel mixing, custom routing, and fine gain control.
What is Clipguard 2.0?
Clipguard 2.0 is Elgato's real-time distortion prevention technology. It automatically adjusts incoming signal to stop clipping and distortion before it happens, so your recordings stay clean even if your voice suddenly gets louder.
Can I monitor my voice while recording?
Yes. Wave:3 MK.2 has a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack for real-time, zero-latency monitoring straight from the mic.
Does Wave:3 MK.2 come with a stand?
Yes. It ships with a desktop stand, and also supports 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 5/8 inch threaded mounts if you want to attach it to a boom arm or existing mic stand.
What is the difference between Wave:3 MK.2 and Wave Neo?
Wave Neo is Elgato's entry-level USB microphone, designed for simple plug-and-play use with a fixed gain range. Wave:3 MK.2 adds a larger 16mm capsule, Clipguard 2.0, and Wave Link software support for adjustable gain and advanced mixing and routing.
