Elgato - Wave:3 Wired Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

Id give the mic a 5/5 & all in all the best mic ive had for the reasons below - high quality, no cracking very VERY clear sound. - sleek design - light weight but still very high quality and study - the mute button is on top and I guess.. flat? you don't have to push it so it gives no feed back its just a tap and its muted. - condenser capsule so perfect for streams as they can get noisy so it focuses on the voice! among lots of other things - I love the wave link software which has a mixer and makes it super easy to control all in all 100% would recommend to ANY creative!

I bought this 2 months ago and it is awesome! It is a very great microphone with some good features and good software I fully recommend it the only thing it needs is a voice changer.

I use this microphone for my classes on Zoom and to record direct instruction videos for my students. The compatible software make using this microphone simple because there is no overhead of learning about software which can be difficult if you do not have a background in audio or want to send a lot of time learning about microphones.

I received this a few months ago and though it would be fairly easy. I do have to mention this is my first time ever using a USB mic and I'm brand new to streaming. The feel and look of the mic itself is great. The setup and installation was pretty straight forward. The problem I had was issues to actually set it up with Streamlabs and my system. There are some videos out there but I don't feel they are in depth enough to get a noob going and I feel this is what this mic is marketed to. I could be wrong and my overall outlook of it is still great. Just a bit more research than I expected.

I really like the wave 3. its a great Mic. My only problem is the software: if i wake up my windows pc the wave link software needs 5min or more to start the audio engine. Thats really annoying.
