Now available: the 'Wave Go' wireless microphone from Elgato
Lavalier and handheld microphone in one: With the "Wave Go" from Elgato, you can record videos or conduct interviews.
The small microphone transmitter from Elgato weighs seven grams and can be attached to your clothing with a magnetic clip. For interviews, you can insert it into the included handle. The microphone detects the change and automatically adjusts its sound settings.
Wireless transmission to a USB-C receiver
The «Wave Go» transmits audio via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection to a USB-C receiver. You plug this into your smartphone, tablet, or computer. According to Elgato, the range is up to 30 meters.
The microphone processes audio signals at 24-bit and 48 kilohertz. It records sound from all directions. Automatic gain control compensates if you speak louder or quieter. Additionally, integrated noise cancellation is designed to reduce distracting background noise.
Via the free «Wave Go» app, you can adjust settings such as microphone sensitivity and noise cancellation. On a computer, you also have access to Elgato's «Wave Link» software. This allows you to manage and mix various audio sources. It is also free of charge.
Up to 48 hours of battery life
According to the manufacturer, the microphone transmitter lasts up to eight hours. The handle contains an additional battery that charges the transmitter on the go. This increases the total battery life to up to 48 hours. Ten minutes of charging time should be enough for another hour of recording.
Also included are a charging case, two windscreens, and mounting accessories. For recordings with two people, you can add a second transmitter. Both use the same receiver. The voices are merged onto a single audio track and cannot be edited separately later.
The «Wave Go» is designed for smartphones, tablets, and computers with a USB-C port. It does not support a direct connection to DSLR or mirrorless cameras. Furthermore, the microphone does not have internal storage. Recording takes place on the connected device.
My interests are varied, I just like to enjoy life. Always on the lookout for news about darts, gaming, films and series.
