Elgato’s $120 Wave:3 USB mic brings a full audio interface to your Twitch stream (20% off)

20% off/$120

Amazon is offering the Elgato Wave:3 Premium USB Condenser Microphone for $120 shipped. For comparison, this 20% price drop marks the second-best that we’ve tracked all-time and comes within $0.01 of the lowest we’ve ever seen for this microphone. Designed with a tight cardioid polar pattern condenser capsule, the Wave:3 is made to deliver a solid audio setup to your Twitch stream or Zoom meetings. It also features an onboard 24-bit/96kHz DAC and leverages Wave Link software on your computer to control up to seven audio sources that can create two independent mixes. Plus, Clipguard technology ensures that distortion is “virtually impossible.” Check out our hands-on review for a deeper dive and then head below for more.

Save a few bucks when picking up the Wave:1 instead of the Wave:3. This more entry-level microphone from Elgato offers many similarities to today’s lead deal, including support for the Wave Link software and Clipguard. However, the DAC is limited to 24-bit/48kHz, though that’s still more than enough for streams and Zoom meetings. Also, you’ll lose out on the capacitive mute button and front-mounted control switcher, though at $100, the limitations might not actually affect your setup.
