    Excellent software this should be the go to mic especially for the price unfortunately the no VST support kept it from a perfect score due to it picking up a lot of ambient noise

    Great mic, but out the box it will pick up background noise. If making videos you might need to put up sound proof foam. Also it will pick up outside noise easily.

    Works fine, the Elgato Wavelink software does not.

    The microphone works fine with Windows and - probably - other software. Well built, sturdy, and attractive. Cons: YMMV but The Wavelink software is ATROCIOUS. The software would play sound, then not play sound... in a continuous vicious cycle. Hit one button, no sound. Hit another button? Sound. Randomly selecting a button would cause the microphone to either produce sound or not. Finally, the software stopped recognizing the microphone at all. Nvidia Broadcast works. Microsoft recognizes the microphone. Etc. Elgato's software? "Oops, we built the microphone but our software...". Elgato decided to go "proprietary" and it shows. I want to recommend it. Just barely I will recommend it. Gets 1 star for the poor software implementation of their own product whereas third-party software does better - even the basic MS drivers.

    • Brand response from Corsair
      Posted .

      Hi,

      Thank you for your feedback. Please ensure your Wave:3 is connected to a direct USB port on your system and its firmware is up-to-date via our Wave Link software. The Wave:3's multifunction dial is used to quickly adjust settings. When you press the multifunction dial, it switches between microphone volume, headphone volume, and microphone/PC monitoring. For example, if you'd like to adjust the connected headphone's volume, you'd press the multifunction dial until you see the LED indicator under the headphone icon, then turn the dial to adjust volume. If you have any questions or continue to experience any issues, please reach out - we'd appreciate the opportunity to help with any issues or questions: help.elgato.com
