Elgato Wave DX – Dynamic XLR Broadcast Microphone with Noise Rejection & Internal Pop Filter

Dynamic microphones have always had a reputation for sounding boxy and lifeless compared to condensers. The Elgato Wave DX shatters that reputation entirely. Produced in direct collaboration between Elgato and Lewitt, its premium dynamic capsule delivers condenser-like detail, warmth, and sensitivity — capturing lifelike lows and luscious highs with a tonal character specifically tuned for the human voice — all while rejecting the background room noise that condenser mics hoover up. No signal booster or preamp activator required.

The Wave DX connects via standard 3-pin XLR to any audio interface, including the Elgato Wave XLR, and is built like a broadcast tool should be: hardened steel chassis for durability, an internally mounted acoustically engineered foam-and-nylon pop filter that eliminates plosive breath sounds before they hit the capsule, and a swivel yoke mount that lets you reposition freely without kinking your cable. The removable, rotatable logo badge can be mounted on either side to face your audience regardless of your setup orientation.

Highlights

• Lewitt-Engineered Dynamic Capsule: Premium collaboration capsule delivers condenser-like detail and sensitivity without the noise sensitivity or signal booster requirement of a condenser.

• Cardioid Polar Pattern: Wide, forgiving acceptance angle captures your voice naturally even with slight off-axis positioning — ideal for presenters who move while talking.

• Internal Pop Filter: Acoustically engineered nylon-fibre sandwiched between two foam layers eliminates plosive breath sounds before they reach the capsule.

• No Signal Booster Required: Stronger-than-average output signal works cleanly with any standard interface — no Cloudlifter or FetHead needed.

• Hardened Steel Chassis: Robust housing reduces internal noise artefacts and provides broadcast-grade durability for daily professional use.

• Frequency Response: 50 Hz – 15 kHz: Finely tuned range reproduces precise, natural vocals without colouration — minimal EQ needed.

• 5/8-inch Swivel Yoke Mount Included: Anti-cable-jam swivel design with included ⅜-inch and ¼-inch thread adapters for universal mic stand and boom arm compatibility.

• Removable Rotatable Logo: Logo badge detaches and rotates so it faces your audience from either side of the mic, no matter your orientation.
