Digital sound adjustment via a hollow encoder transmits and converts your signal in real time. Simply turn the embedded wheel for easy touch control. Muting the microphone is just as intuitive with the touch-sensitive mute button. LED indicators glow white or red to display mute status.

An embedded digital-to-analog converter captures vocals and delivers audio at 48 kHz 24-bit. A high-sensitivity cardioid pickup pattern ensures vocal capture from up to 16.4' away. Simply plug the microphone into your device using the included cable with USB-C to USB-A adapter.

Built-in noise reduction filters out low-frequency hums for a 98 dB high dynamic range, utilizing embedded digital filters. This allows your vocal to standout and eliminates unwanted ambient noise.

Use the Wave UI with your Windows, macOS, and Linux computers. The microphone is also compatible with Android devices and PS4/PS5 systems for live-streaming and in-game communication. Live-stream audio to your social media platform of choice.

The U1's grille provides triple protection against interference to ensure clear audio. An inner, shock-absorbing bracket and anti-slip shim on the desk stand prevent distortion from jostling.

Included with the Wave U1 is a single support rod and a desk stand. Add on up to 5 separately available support rods to increase the height of your microphone. Rotate your device up to 360° and tilt up to 20° for optimal positioning. A 5/8"-27 thread at the bottom of the support rod can connect the mic either to the included stand or to your preexisting boom arm.
