help Elgato Wave:1 FAQ

The microphone utilizes beamforming technology and proprietary algorithms to prioritize sound from the user’s specific location. This hardware and software combination actively works to reject background noise during live streams and recordings.

What type of polar pattern does the Elgato Wave:1 use?

The Wave:1 features a tight cardioid polar pattern designed specifically to capture clear, focused vocal recordings directly in front of the mic. This polar pattern helps to isolate the speaker's voice by rejecting audio coming from the sides and the back.

It is a plug-and-play device that connects directly to a computer or laptop via a standard USB cable. Because it draws power and transmits data over USB, no external audio interface or XLR cables are required.
