Amazon is now offering the Elgato Wave:1 Cardioid USB Condenser Microphone for $49.99 shipped. Normally going for $99 on Amazon, this 49% discount marks a new all-time low price we’ve tracked for this microphone, beating the Prime Day deal. The cardioid pickup pattern used with the Wave:1 is designed to focus in on the voice directly in front of it while rejecting background noise with the 24-bit/48kHz digital analog conversion and Elgato’s proprietary Clipguard technology preventing distortion. It will come with a desk stand and a boom arm adapter so you can mount it however you’d like with the Wave Link desktop app giving you full control over the microphone and even acting as a mixer.

While today’s deal has dropped the Wave:1 to this new low, who knows how long it will stay there? One option that starts at this price point and regularly drops lower is the Razer Seiren Mini USB Condenser Microphone for $49.50. Overall, this microphone is fairly similar to the Elgato option above with some key differences. For starters, it uses a super-cardioid pickup pattern for its tighter pickup angle to reject even more background noise. You also get a tabletop base that can tilt so it can sit at just the right angle. Otherwise, you won’t have any significant software control as this plug-and-play mic is meant for those who want something that requires little tinkering.
