Despite newer models of this Microphone series out, this microphone often is on sale and is has a highly competitive price to performance microphone.
It's made with ease of use in mind, and marketed towards beginners wanting to up their sound quality game and get people into USB Condenser Mics. Whether you want to amazing quality voice recording for YouTube, Streaming, or even just Discord Calls with your friends, this is a good product to do just that.
It's very plug in play, and easy to get running with an easy install of their microphone program (Elgato Wave Link) that will launch immediately when you plug in the microphone.
CONS:
Despite the microphone being decent out of the box, to get the full value of it's sound range, audio enthusiast will later find they will have to install quite of bit of compressors and Virtual Studio Technologies (VSTs) to make the microphone sound more natural and crisper. Luckily, Elgato's Official YouTube Channel has many tutorials and recommendations for how to install and tweak these settings!
THE VERDICT:
For the price, there is very few options for this level of quality in a USB Condenser Microphone that can compete with it. Highly recommend for those wanting to kickstart their tech journey!

In terms of hardware, there is only one physical knob dial that you can press and turn. Pressing the knob will mute and unmute the mic while the dial can be set to adjust the input/output level. This is very handy. Overall, I highly recommend this mic over some similarly priced mics.
One last thing, I decided on the Wave:1 over the Wave:3 because I really didn't need the extra features of the Wave:3. Virtually everything that the Wave:3 adds, can be done using the included WaveLink software.

No início, baixei os programas que o fabricante recomenda. E, basta eu conectar o USB do microfone que eu já utilizo ele de forma simples e rápida. Enfim, se eu indicaria? Sim. Com ceteza! Tem pontos positivos, tais como: qualidade, preço, e facilidade de uso; E pontos negativos, tais como: Precisa baixar o aplicativo ( como se fosse um drive para seu PC reconhecer). No mais, recomendo a compra.
So, like any desktop is a beast all on its own, I won't go into setup detail. What I can say however is that once you get it right, especially if you're going to be streaming with OBS (using the NVIDIA noise reduction filter version 27+) you hear nothing in the background. I'm talking, nothing and my roommate's boyfriend is like an M16 on full auto with god mode active.
The W1 is less expensive than the W3 but does about the same minus some functionalities. But if you want to get started at a smaller budget, go for it.
Es un producto de una muy buena calidad, el cual nada mas cogerlo ya se nota la calidad que presenta.
En cuanto a lo que incluye este producto es una peana para tenerlo encima de la mesa, un pequeño adaptador para ponerlo en un brazo y el micrófono con su cable usb-c.
Tiene muy buena calidad, con unas frecuencias muy buenas y con la posibilidad de configurarlo a tu gusto y placer, pudiendo dejar el sonido como si fuese un micrófono de estudio.
En cuanto al uso que yo le he dado, es mejor tenerlo a unos 20-30 cm de la boca puesto wue mas lejos se escucha regular y mas cerca puede saturar el micro (dependiendo de la configuración que tengas)
Aber nicht nur das Design ist beeindruckend, auch die Soundqualität des Mikrofons ist der Hammer! Ich war überrascht, wie klar und deutlich meine Stimme aufgenommen wird. Selbst bei leiseren Tönen bleibt die Qualität des Sounds erhalten. Die mitgelieferte Software bietet viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, um die Stimme weiter anzupassen.
Besonders genial finde ich den Knopf zum Instant Muting. So kann ich schnell und einfach stumm schalten, wenn meine Freundin oder Kinder ins Zimmer kommen, ohne lange in den Einstellungen herumzuklicken. Auch das Fehlen von Hintergrundgeräuschen ist ein großer Pluspunkt für mich. Der Sound ist glatt und stört nicht bei der Aufnahme oder beim Zuhören.
Ich kann das Mikrofon auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Es bietet nicht nur ein tolles Design, sondern auch eine hervorragende Soundqualität und viele nützliche Funktionen für Gamer und professionelle Anwender. Wer nach einem Mikrofon sucht, das sich für Late Night Gaming Sessions oder Teams Meetings eignet, sollte definitiv einen Blick darauf werfen.
