Sound quality

17mm Electret Condenser Capsule: This premium capsule is co-designed with microphone manufacturer LEWITT to capture vocal nuances with precision and detail.

Cardioid Polar Pattern: The pickup pattern is optimized to capture speech from the front and sides while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for solo streamers and podcasters.

24-bit/96kHz Resolution: This high-resolution audio processing delivers a professional, clear, and authentic sound.

Proprietary Clipguard Technology: This feature automatically reroutes audio through a second, lower-volume signal path when input levels peak, making distortion virtually impossible.

Multilayered Noise Shield: An internal pop filter helps reduce plosive sounds like "p" and "b" without the need for additional equipment. 

Digital mixing with Wave Link software

Multichannel Mixer: The bundled Wave Link software allows you to mix audio from up to nine independent channels, such as your mic, game audio, music, and voice chat.

Two Independent Mixes: You can create separate, independent audio mixes for yourself (the monitor mix) and your audience (the stream mix). This is useful for playing copyrighted music for yourself without including it in your broadcast.

VST Plugin Support: The software supports Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plugins, allowing you to add effects like EQ and compression for advanced audio shaping.

Stream Deck Integration: The Wave Link software works seamlessly with Elgato Stream Deck devices, allowing you to control all your audio levels with the press of a key. 

Hardware and design

Capacitive Mute Button: A touch-sensitive sensor on the top of the mic allows for instant, silent muting of your feed.

Multifunctional Control Dial: A single dial on the front of the microphone lets you adjust mic gain, monitor volume, and the blend between your voice and PC audio.

Zero-Latency Monitoring: A 3.5mm headphone jack on the back allows you to listen to your audio input in real-time, ensuring you can hear exactly what your audience hears.

Versatile Mounting: The included stand has a weighted, padded base for stability and includes a boom arm adapter for use with a desk-mounted arm.
