Elgato is a brand best known in the game streaming community. Its video capture devices are the go-to solutions for Twitch superstars and YouTube gaming channel creators. Not satisfied with enabling great home video capture, the company teamed up with Lewitt to produce a USB microphone that aims to give content creators professional results at an affordable price.
The result is the Wave:3, a $160 USB microphone that delivers remarkably good sound quality for vocal recordings (a simpler Wave:1 is also available for $130). While Elgato aims many of its other products at PC gamers, the Wave mics are equally marketed toward podcasters and YouTubers, where the Mac has a much larger presence.
