A:Answer Great question — and an important one to get right before you buy. The honest answer is no: the Wave:3 MK.2 is a USB microphone designed and supported for Windows and Mac, and consoles like the PS5 don't support the USB audio class it uses, so it won't be recognized on a PlayStation. If console use is your goal, there are two paths worth knowing about. The earlier Wave:3 (MK.1) generation uses the USB audio class that consoles do support, so that's the direction to look for a plug-and-play USB mic on PS5. Alternatively, the Wave XLR Pro can work with a PS5 via its USB connection, though it should be set up and configured on a PC first.
