Elgato Launches Wave Go, a Compact Wireless Microphone Competing with DJI's Mic Mini
Elgato has introduced its first wireless microphone, the $99.99 Wave Go, targeting content creators who need high-quality audio on the go. The device is about the size of an AirPod and features broadcast-level sound quality with noise cancellation, EQ shift, and auto gain control. It connects via a 2.4GHz signal to a USB-C receiver compatible with iPhones, Android devices, and iPads. The Wave Go includes a magnetic clip for attaching to clothing and can be used with Elgato's Smart Handle accessory, which transforms it into an interview mic and provides additional charging capabilities. The product also comes with a mobile app that allows users to monitor audio levels and adjust settings like noise reduction and automatic leveling. A second transmitter is available for $29.99. The Wave Go represents Elgato's expansion beyond its traditional market of desktop-based creator tools into the growing segment of portable content creation equipment, directly competing with DJI’s Mic Mini.
