Excellent audio quality straight out of the box, Included, metal threaded, boom adapter, Very good build quality, Excellent SM7B style mounting system, WAVE Link software is a breeze to use and packed full of features any content creator/streamer/podcaste
Desk stand causes vibrations and adds to unwanted noise (our advice is to buy a boom arm), Clicking in the selector knob causes excess noise
Abstract: The full review is contained in the video, above, so I urge you to take a look at that. This companion piece offers my brief thoughts in written format.It includes the new wave link mixing software which gives you two independent output mixes and up to 8...

Buen diseño y acabados, Micrófono cardiodie de alta calidad, Rueda selectora frontal, con volumen regulador en tiempo real, Permite separar las diversas fuentes de audio, Se integra perfectamente con Stream Deck,
Nada en especial
Lo que nos ha quedado claro es que el Wave 3 es un micrófono para profesionales del streaming. Es decir, cualquier micrófono integrado en unos auriculares debería ser suficiente para chatear durante las partidas, pero si queremos un sonido mucho mejor, de...
