Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 16 mm condenser with integrated JFET

Wave:3 MK.2 is Elgato's flagship USB condenser microphone, built around a 16mm capsule with an integrated JFET and a cardioid pattern that reaches from 70Hz up to 20kHz. Onboard DSP processing and smart controls like Auto Gain handle level management in real time, and Clipguard 2.0 anti-distortion technology keeps sudden peaks from clipping the recording.

It supports VST effect integration for studio-grade processing without a separate audio interface, and connects over USB-C (USB 2.0 High-Speed) with a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring. It runs at 48kHz and ships with a desk stand.
