ElgatoWave DX with Cable - Dynamic XLR Microphone with 10ft/3m XLR Cable, Speech optimised for Podcasting, Streaming, Broadcasting, No Signal Booster Required, Works with Any Interface, PC/Mac

I have been creating content on YouTube for over 8 years. I have spend an arm and a leg on Microphones over the years. The elgato Wave DX has been the very best by far. The sound quality is second to none. For me, the most important thing is noise cancelation as I record in an empty room where there is a lot of echo and reverb. This mic records clear voice and cancels all the noise without any degradation in voice (no robotic voices) It just works out of the box. The only thing that I didn't like is the fact that it can't be fit on desk. You must have some sort of table mount for the mic. Other than that, the best mic I have ever owned.

Pros:- Is square and looks neat- Sounds (APPARENTLY) as good, if not a little better, than my Samson GTrack Pro (based on friends feedback)- Solidly built- Boom arm/mic stand screw-in adapter is nice to haveCons (nothing major):- Doesn't come with it's own xlr cable- Barebones starter mic so no on-mic controls of any kind like you'd find on a Shure, and again no xlr cable-----------------My only personal gripe is it is too powerful for my craptop i guess. All my audio dies frequently when using the mic and the interface it's plugged into. Might be the interface (an MAudio Solo), might be the mic, might be the craptop. But yeah that's neither here nor there, i spose. The mic is great regardless 👍🏽

Si desean la mejor calidad de sonido, por el menor precio del mercado, este es el micrófono que debes comprar a ciegas. Sumándole el Wave Link por Dios una maravilla el sonido, al fin tengo el sonido profesional que deseaba. Los VST que tiene el Elgato prediseñados ayudan todavía al 1000% para los que no somos expertos configurando estas funciones. Solo con 1 paso se fue el sonido de fondo de mi habitación, y solo con conectar el micrófono ya puedes notar la calidad de sonido sin procesar tu voz. Increíble.

I love it!Very clear, blocks background noise, sounds great!

So I do recording, studio, sound enginnering videos. I have an "Universal Audio UAD Appolo Twin" Audio Interface. I thought I would get the Elgato DX to use in WAVE LINK to be able to control with my Stream Deck and as well connect it to my Universal Audio UAD Appolo twin and use it as the "talkback" microphone for studio sessions.HOWEVER, Things did not turn out as I expected. I recieved the DX microphone, connected it into my Universal Audio Interface, my Universal Audio softwear got input and it works as the "talkback" microphone like I wanted, BUTTTTTT the Elgato Waves LINK softwear is not detecting the DX microphone at all, so I can't use it for streams, or control it from my stream deck or for recordings in OBS as I wanted .This Microphone is advertised to work with ANY XLR interface, and Universal Audio Interfaces are among the BEST audio interfaces on the market and used in major recording studios. The fact that when the DX is connected to the UA Interface ELGATOS OWN SOFTWEAR does not recognize the microphone is baffaling. How in the world is this being advertised to content creators as a " WORKS WITHANY XLR INTERFACE." as stated on their Elgato website on the DX Microphone page.If I wanted a microphhne just to use as a "talkback" microphone I would of purchased other / better microphoens on the market. The simple fact that I purchased this microphone and Elgatos own WAVE LINK softwear does not recognize the microphone makes this microphone useless in the Elgato streaming infulstructure .I have tweeted at Elgato about this issue, and sent emails to get support for this issue, that my UA interface recognizes theirs a mic and I have input from it BUT Elgatos own WAVE LINK softwear does not recognize the DX microphone being connected. but have yet to get a response from Elgato.They clearly are marketing this DX microphone like this to forse people to purchase their Elgato XLR audio interface, but I refuse. My $1300 Universal Audio audio interface is great and does what I want it to do, so Elgato should get their WAVE LINK softwear to work correctly and recognize the DX microphone. This is absolutely rediclouius .I have reached out by email, and through twitter to Elgato support and have yet to get an answer for why the WAVE LINK softwear is not recognizing the microphone. If they cannot get this issue fixed, I will be returning this microphone as I will not be forced to buy their WAVE XLR interfaace, when I already have an amazing audio interface. Plus, If I DID get the Elgato Wave XLR interface, HOW IN THE WORLD WILL I WORK OUT OFF TWO DIFFERENT AUDIO INTERFACES AT THE SAME TIME!Elgato softwear WAVE LINK needs to work in order to have shortcuts on the streamdeck and able to stream / record but it DOES NOT WORK WITH THE DX MICROPHONE with a Universal Audio interface!

Great mic for $100

This is a very niche microphone. It works great if you have a quiet studio for streaming or online gaming. But the only way to get a usable sound is to crank up the gain to the point where you hear everything in the room. So if you need to get localized sound only, look elsewhere than Elgato.

I have a handful of elgato products and this mic is definitely up there with some of the best mic out in the industry right now especially for its price point. It’s a straight forward plug and play mic. Paired with my GoXlr audio interface it works great, I tuned and tweaked all of my mic settings in the goxlr app on my pc so it sounds nice and clear. I have it with the elgato mic arm too, and both paired together are a perfect match!!

There’s nothing too not like.Even the software it comes with is brilliant.

今までコンデンサマイクしか使ったことがなかったのでかもしれませんが、新しく購入したミキサーのマイク端子がXLR端子でしたので、このマイクを購入しました。最初は音が反響してて、細かな音も響く感じで拾ってしまい、しっくりきませんでした。色々調べて行き着いたのはミキサーの調整とOBSの調整でなんとかなりました。多少、調整に沼りますが勉強と思って、いろいろ試して下さい、きっと見つかります。決まれば、音質はいいものとわかりますよ

一目惚れしちゃってElgato Wave Mic Arm LPとセットで買いました。この価格帯のダイナミックマイクは色々出てますが、メーカーの努力もあって性能は五十歩百歩かなと思います。求める性能を満たしていれば、あとは「音質」と「デザイン」が好みに合うかどうかです。私が一番好きな音質のマイクはSM7Bなんですが、あれはいかんせん高すぎるので…笑音質でベストを選べないのであれば、無難な音質の中からデザインで選ぶのもアリだと思います。デザインで選ぶ最大の良さは「使ってない時も眺めるだけで満足できる」というところですね。このマイク最大の特徴は華美な装飾の無い無骨な長方形である所です。Elgato Wave Mic Arm LPとセット使いをすると、下から延ばしたマイクアームの延長線上にマイクが繋がる格好になるのでモニターを遮ることがありません。元々マイクアームの評判は見聞きしてて知ってたんですが、実際使ってみると驚くほど視界を邪魔しなくて快適。ヘッドセットよりも音がクリアになって聞きやすいとフレンドに好評でした。

The item came damaged. I don't actually think this was a new microphone as the packaging was taped over and when I got the mic out it already had an indent in the mic grill. Very disappointed. I will be demanding a refund.
