The Elgato Wave DX is Elgato's first XLR dynamic microphone — a broadcast-format dynamic cardioid designed for streaming setups that have progressed from USB microphones to XLR interfaces and want the background rejection benefits of a dynamic microphone alongside the Wave ecosystem integration of Elgato's streaming software suite. The tight cardioid pattern and the dynamic capsule's natural high-frequency roll-off combine to reject room reflections, keyboard clicks, and HVAC noise that condenser microphones in home environments capture indiscriminately. Dynamic cardioid — natural background rejection in home environments XLR output — works with Wave XLR and any audio interface Elgato ecosystem integration — Wave Link OBS channels Tight cardioid — rejects keyboard, HVAC, and room reflections
