Product Description
Meet the Elgato Wave DX, a dynamic XLR microphone engineered in close cooperation with Lewitt Audio to capture detail like a condenser while rejecting unwanted room noise. Built for broadcasters, commentators, podcasters, and creators, Wave DX delivers warm, true-to-life vocals with a forgiving cardioid pattern, and works with any XLR audio interface with no signal booster required.
Key Features
- Dynamic capsule selected in close cooperation with Lewitt Audio, capturing condenser-like detail without background noise
- Forgiving cardioid polar pattern lets you speak off-axis and still be heard clearly
- Optimised proximity effect for natural, adjustable bass response the closer you get to the mic
- Acoustically engineered nylon fibre and dual-foam internal pop shield reduces plosives and breath noise
- Hardened steel chassis for extra durability and reduced internal noise artefacts
- Removable, rotatable logo badge so branding always looks right on camera
- Mono swivel mount with 5/8 inch thread, plus 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch adapters included
- Works with any XLR audio interface; pairs seamlessly with Elgato Wave XLR for anti-distortion processing and Wave Link mixing
Package Includes
- Elgato Wave DX dynamic microphone
- Swivel mount with thread adapters (5/8 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/4 inch)
Does Wave DX need a USB connection or software?
No. Wave DX is a passive dynamic microphone with a standard 3-pin XLR output. It connects to any XLR audio interface or mixer and needs no drivers or software to work.
Do I need an audio interface to use Wave DX?
Yes. As an XLR microphone, Wave DX requires a separate audio interface or mixer to connect to your computer. It works with any XLR interface, no signal booster necessary, and pairs especially well with Elgato Wave XLR.
Does Wave DX have a mute button or headphone jack?
No, Wave DX itself has no onboard controls, mute button, or headphone output, as it is a fully passive microphone. Features like tap-to-mute and zero-latency monitoring are available when paired with an interface such as Elgato Wave XLR.
What mount does Wave DX use?
Wave DX ships with a mono swivel mount on a 5/8 inch thread, with 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch adapters included, so it fits standard mic stands and most boom arms.
What is the difference between Wave DX and Wave:3 MK.2?
Wave DX is a dynamic XLR microphone that needs a separate audio interface, well suited to broadcast-style vocal capture and rejecting room noise. Wave:3 MK.2 is a USB condenser microphone with a built-in ADC, Wave Link software support, and no interface required, making it a simpler plug-and-play option.
