I just got this mic today and kinda went in blind. Your video opened my eyes fully and showed me everything there is to know! My Mic is now up and running perfectly and sounds amazing. I know it's not a top end recording mic or anything but for streaming, this thing is not just best bang for your buck, it's far above and beyond worth every buck and then some! Well done Elgato and well done on this perfect video! Thank you!

@dotterzreloaded5852 2 года назад

@music man I've loved my experience with it. My vocals have been really clear, especially as I'm a deep voiced individual in a room where noise bounces from the walls. I haven't had any issues with it, which was amazing for someone who's only mic experience was that of my phones hands free kit.

@michaelt4877 3 года назад

Thanks for another great review! You are always my 1st go-to before purchasing new gear. Anything having to do with sound is at least "somewhat" subjective. That said, I found the Wave 3 to be an excellent value, even after spending a bit more for the proprietary pop screen and shock mount. Goes without say that proximity is a factor with any mic. This mic works fine at 14 - 20" for zoom meetings and the like. But for content creation, streaming, voice-over, etc., it really seems to come to life at 7-9". Makes a remarkable difference!

@insanejughead 4 года назад

Great to see you still doing your thing, Mike! That's a sweet setup for the streaming crowd. I hope it digs into the Yeti market! I'm surprised there was no mention of the noise floor... Being co-developed by Lewitt and all.

@wagonet 2 года назад

@ToddMR74 3 года назад

Thanks for going over all of the features for this mic. I just ordered one yesterday after using another streamer using it. Since I am just getting into live streaming more, I was curious what others thought of it. Just wanted a better alternative to my Alienware gaming headset. Planning to get a boom arm soon for mine.

@MrEmptyhead 4 года назад

I think the sound of this microphone and the associated eq curve is very well suited to stand out between the gameplay and game music audio as this is often optimised to allow player originated audio.

Great video Mike! do you have any plan to review the microphone from the focusrite bundle (the CM 25 MKIII)? i can't find anyone using it for voice overs, and i was quite curious how it would compare to the other mics around. Keep up the great work!

@wagonet 2 года назад

As a streamer I love your content. Very helpful

@SkYjAcKeR666 4 года назад

Great insight Mike, I like it because it's a good content creation mic, cheap enough, and good to integrate with existing Elgato hardware. It's more than good enough for RU-vidrs/Streamers/content creators. Thank you Mike.

@RexxReviews 4 года назад

@mattcom2 4 года назад

Great explainer. I’m no gamer, so have no use for it - but what it can do to mix and control several sources through its software is impressive. At that price, pretty amazing.

@danmagoo 3 года назад

Good demo and discussion. I am glad you mentioned that it is not for voice-over, and I'll add another reason to what you noted about the EQ. I find the wave form for this mic is way lopsided and top-heavy, much more above the center line than below, especially as levels increase. (I thought mine was defective, and exchanged it, but the replacement was the same.) It's more than a visual oddity, because the asymetry messes with post-processing, like normalizing. There's a reason they heavily emphasize that it's for streaming (not recording).

@xrampax3236 3 года назад

Great review! Have you tried adding an audio source in the wave link software and also set it up so you can hear the same source through the computer speakers? I’m having trouble setting it up to hear it on both.

@xHadesStamps 4 года назад

Dang! I can definitely see the advantages of the capacitive touch mute! My brother's Samson Meteor has a mechanical mute button, and it's picked up well (unfortunately)!

@murraystechtime8530 4 года назад

Thank you for putting the mic on an arm, before that I didn't like the sound at all. It sounded hollow (to me) and I thought it needed to be closer to you mouth. Your review was bang on about not too good for people with lower frequency voices, but the arm sort of helped a bit (still sounding a bit gravelly). New firmware needed (I agree), a lite DAW type plugin before Wave Link Stream sends audio to OBS (in my opinion) would help a lot. Great video and information, stay safe and keep well...

@mindfulleven6353 4 года назад

I hope they'll publish the software as standalone, cause that's a really nice feature. Funny how this product is not really about the quality of the mic, but all about the gadgets and features that comes with it... I'm sure beginning streamers will love this mic.

Booth Junkie new sub , great video, keep them coming, Know.. I have a great dilemma.. I have two macs bk air 2011, 2020, and an el gatto mic wave 3, el gatto ring, el gatto camera the latest, all this wonderful technology, but should I get a monitor? or can i use my macbooks to stream?.. I understand i may need a usb c hub 3.0 and higher which is fine, but the mic has resonance in the background when i put in the regular microphone speaker option in the el gatto wave link, it a program el gatto has which is wonderful.. I also have Apple air pod max is the headphones which is wonderful, is it a good headset for streaming or not.. if not I will buy a new headset

@lupit1 4 года назад

Found your video while researching this mic. I managed to snag it for $80 on eBay. Brand new. Having used a blue yeti snowball and then a black out edition blue yeti I believe I have made a wise purchase. As a gamer and not someone well versed in audio it’s going to be good. I wonder can you use wireless headphones with it? Also I like the idea of being able use it through the stream deck.

I'm still fairly new to content creation I have a channel GameBuzz NZ on RU-vid and Twitch and use a Blue Snowball but the two Elgato mics sound like they will make my content so much better as I am hopeless with trying to work out the sound settings for everything when I record or go live so I am seriously thinking about getting a wave 1 or wave 3

@JonnyBravo0311 4 года назад

Definitely has a very noticeable proximity effect. Also, the mic sounded considerably better once you put it on the stand and it was closer to your mouth.

@Tolakram 4 года назад

I think the mic sounds very odd, almost like it's clipping part of your voice. Thanks for the honest review, so far everything I've seen was a glowing review even though it sounded obviously odd. I use a Shure SM58 and prefer dynamic mics so maybe I just forget how condensers sound?

@MyLeoOne 4 года назад

Probably a good option for most people who are getting a Scarlett right now, not sure if the price for it will scare most away, considering the greater versatility of a Behringer umc22 with an at2020 being around that price. The software looks really good, much more straight forward than voicemeeter for example. It's definitely a "set it and forget it" "plug and play" microphone for whom doesn't want to fiddle around with a bunch of stuff, and if you only stream and don't want to get into anything else audio related, it's pretty good value imho. The preamp sounds a little noisy though

@rob-toolsandtech2521 4 года назад

Hey Mike, I love the videos. I was looking to see if you’ve done a video on equipment that is the best bang for the buck. If I want to try doing some voiceover on the side, I’d like to get stuff that is sufficient, and I don’t mind paying more money if I get value out of it. I do the same with most stuff I buy. Like if I can get an 8TB hard drive for $90, or a 12TB drive for $229, Assuming the 8TB meets my needs, I’d rather get it, because the added benefit of the 12TB doesn’t really justify the price difference. With that in mind, I was wondering if you could do a video or series of videos for people in my position. I was thinking of the stellar X2 that you reviewed, because it seems like it would be sufficient for me to see if I like doing voiceover. After seeing your video on the Scarlett interfaces, my impression was that it wouldn’t be sufficient for a paid gig. I know the products out there and prices change so often, I was wondering what your latest thoughts were.

Hi, I just found your channel and watched your video on the Rode NT1. Would you recommend the Rode NT1 microphone for voice over? If not, which would you recommend around that same price range?

@hazcat640 4 года назад

I'm not a streamer, I'm a listener. With that in mind I like the sound generally, especially when you put it on the arm or if on the desk stand when you dropped the lowpass filter. Also I like that the balance is easy to use as my main complaint with streams is the streamers voice just completely over rides the game and the typical response when I mention it is either "I don't know how to balance it better" or "I don't have a mix for my headphones and it sounds good to me". This mic and software should make that much easier to do.

@AliasEnigmatic 2 года назад

I don't know if you still look at comments for these old videos! But I have a Wave: 3 as is, been dabbling in voice over and am looking at getting an XLR microphone to dive deeper into voice over and voice acting. As such, I have been looking at possibly the Rode NT1 or the NT1A. But I was curious, if you had any particular mic that you'd recommend to someone with a deeper voice like your own. I know you'd mentioned in one video that you weren't a fan of the NT1A for your voice. But If that's the case, is there any mic you might recommend for a deeper voice like ours? I'd like to use the mic for both voice work, as well as podcasting and live streaming as well.

Im contemplating selling my Wave 3 because I just cannot figure it out, I cannot mute anything, when I move the sliders on any Input, the volume doesnt go up or down, I dont even know if Im doing anything right. The only thing I know for sure is the mic works, I can be heard on Discord. :(
