## Questions & Answers

**Q: How this microphone will work for singers or VO talents?**
A: The Wave:3 supports up to 24-bit/96kHz, providing excellent clarity. You may also use Wave Link, a free software, with the Wave:3 to help modify the microphone settings if necessary.

**Q: is there a arm available for this mic ?**
A: I would recommend to get the shock mount from Elgato and any other arm. Not all arms are created equal some very in durability but this mic is not very heavy since it’s mostly plastic. I have an innoGear are that is very strong and extended length.

**Q: How well does this block out background noise? Also, where is the headphone input?**
A: The headphone input is on the back of the microphone, next to the usb c port. 

As for blocking out background noise, it does a fantastic job of blocking out any noise. I think it might be software-side but it really focuses on human voices well, without picking up unwanted background speech.

**Q: what type of usb connection is this? 2 or 3?  Thanks all!**
A: With the provided USB-C to USB-A cable, you can connect the Wave:3 to a USB 2.0 (or better) port.

If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out via support on Elgato's website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great edition to my Stream setup
*by A***D on 14 December 2021*

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Elgato products? These guys know what they are doing and it is why their products are always a little pricier. Sure, the base is plastic but its quite strong and durable. Audio quality is extremely clean and has transformed my gaming stream/setup. The best part of this product i the built-in wavelink software which allows you to control audio volume for seperate audio lines from your game stream to spotify to even your desktop audio. It has completely replaced the hardware needed like GoXLR for me. Best thing I've bought so far for the stream setup.
