Wave DX vs Wave 3 - Raw Sound Comparison

Elgato just released their new XLR mic, the Wave DX, so I wanted to compare the sound with their USB mic, the Wave 3. This is a sound comparison between the Wave DX mic and the Wave 3 mic. Both mics were recorded with all settings and effects turned off.
Both mics sound great and will sound even better with the right EQ and other settings turned on. I don't really have an opinion on which one sounds "better". I think they both sound great, and both have their own qualities. It really just comes down to your own personal taste.
Which sound do you like better? The Wave DX? Or the Wave 3?

I know this is an old video, but it's still LEAGUES above every other mic comparison video I've seen.

I’ve never seen a better comparison than this video, thank you

@amazonite50 2 года назад

the Wave DX is definitely clearer when I comes to distance and clarity but the Wave 3 almost seems unique like it gives you a kick to you're voice making it seem more... relatable? For streaming i choose the Wave DX but I personally enjoy the Wave 3 better.

@theholypeanut473 Месяц назад

Wave DX seems like the more viable option, cheaper and can be used not only as a microphone 🤔

@Jzwiz 3 месяца назад

Man i wish every mic review was this good, no garbage filler and the comparison is b2b. Having a hard time picking a mic right now but narrowed it down to 2

Holy crap this man went from 5002 subs TO NEARLY 10K SUBS

@KingHenzie 2 года назад

the XLR one sounds a bit better but im sure with proper tweaks on the low end it will sound even better. Very tempted to upgrade to that mic for only 100 bucks. I believe they have a combo deal on the site to get the arm, the mic, the xlr and the cable for 300 which is a great deal! I have the wave 3 so im just sitting here debating lol.

@PixelFire 2 года назад

I agree! And you're correct. They have a great deal going for the XLR setup. Elgato is doing a giveaway on their Twitter if you're interested in trying for that. Otherwise, I'd appreciate if you used my affiliate link in the video description ;)

@MarviSr79 2 года назад

Yeah but after you pay for the xlr the price goes up to about 230 or something

@mrsoggo 2 года назад

really thinking its that big of a quality increase compared to the wave 3?

@Jra362 Год назад

on the same boat lol i got the wave 3 not too long ago but not sure if i should go the xlr route and get the dx

@Xylume 2 года назад

Wave DX performed better, but Wave: 3 was close in comparison. Some people prefer the XLR route and some people prefer a USB configuration. Sometimes it boils down to convenience and application. VSTs could make a big difference and I can't wait to see new software to process mics.

@PixelFire 2 года назад

For sure! Did you see Elgato also launched some new VSTs? An EQ and a Noise Reduction.

@Xylume 2 года назад

@@PixelFire No, where can I find this information?

The wave 3 looks more like a professional studio microphone, so I think I might go with that one…

The Wave 3 sounds darker / more pleasant.

@cordankk Год назад

see now i’m here from tiktok, i subbed :)

@AbirZenith Год назад

For anyone confused, WAVE DX has more natural undertone and low end and it also tends to peak less, despite the low cut filter on the Wave 3. So yeah get that if you can.

@BucktheCivic Год назад

Also that mic sounds better than my JLAB mic

@THEUrinalCake 9 месяцев назад

DX is just a little bit better but not nearly so much that I need it when I already have the Wave 3. Thanks!

@Kizime 2 года назад

The dx for sure for more of a professional mic, but in general, the wave can produce really good audio for a USB mic!

@chewycheeks Год назад

hi! may i ask if the wave 3 is good with noise suppression? i want to get a mic for streaming but my problem is, im not alone in the room, i need something that cannot pick up other noises. thank you!

@PixelFire Год назад

Hi! Some mics are better than others at noise suppression, but no mic will be able to block out someone else talking nearby. You need noise suppression effects applied on top of your mic audio. Elgato has their own free noise suppression effect, and Nvidia also has one that's really good. So whatever mic you do end up buying, make sure to play around with different noise suppression effects to see what works for you. Hope that helps!

@chewycheeks Год назад

@@PixelFire thank you for your input! i've finally decided on getting a dynamic mic next month! i'm planning on getting a samson Q9U which i think will fit my needs.

@RPGVeir Год назад

How does clip guard on DX compare to Wave 3? Im choosing between the two for streaming (horror games mostly) and not gonna lie I will probably be loud a lot at times, scared of destroying people ear drums lol

@PixelFire Год назад

Probably comparable. But either way, you can just use a compressor effect in the Wave software to automatically lower your mic volume when you scream really loud.
