Review: I've had a number of Blue Yeti mics and, for years, have generally preferred desertcart Basics Professional Condenser Microphones over the Blue Yeti. The audio quality from the Elgato Wave Neo mic is on par with the Blue Yeti and desertcart Professional Condenser mic. It has a cardioid pattern that, as far as I can tell, is not adjustable to other patterns. So, it does lack some features that those other mics have, but I don't do face-to-face interviews or anything, so my mics are ALWAYS set to cardioid anyway. The mic has audio out, but my understanding is that this is just a nearby 3.5mm jack for headphones and it is NOT an audio monitor jack for hearing yourself. I've generally preferred the desertcart mic over the Blue Yeti because of the OLED display. That sounds silly, but it's a great way to see when my mic is muted. I have, for years, used my Stream Deck to toggle my mic mute back and forth and I liked how the OLED was always in sync with that status. I know the Blue Yeti had a mute capability but clicking things on microphones to mute/unmute almost always introduces noise that the other end can hear, so I've always gone with the software solution instead. Fast forward to this Elgato Wave Neo, and my process is changing a bit. I've stopped using my Stream Deck to toggle mute because the Elgato has a capacitive touch button to mute/unmute which turns a light white/red based on status. It's a VERY touch-sensitive button, which I like because I can barely touch it (or not even touch it) to mute/unmute so there's no bumping of the mic. This frees up a Stream Deck button and is nicer/more obvious mute display. Plus, the mic is easily the best looking mic I've ever seen. It no longer looks like hardware pulled from the local radio station but looks sleek and stylish. Plus, USB C. No more Micro USB falling out of the desertcart mic when I bump my desk wrong. It's a weird boot (for aesthetics) on the USB cable that plugs into the mic, but I think a normal cable would work just fine, as well. Overall, yes, I'd highly recommend this mic. In fact, I prefer this over all other mics I've had so far. And it is EASILY the best-looking mic available!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How quickly can I get set up?**
A: Get started in as little as a few seconds. Just plug in and select Wave Neo as your microphone. It’s as easy as that—there’s no additional setup or equipment needed.

**Q: Do I need an Elgato microphone connected to use Wave Link?**
A: Pretty much. The only exception is with Stream Deck +. Wave Link needs an Elgato Mic to perform its low-latency audio mixing. Compatible devices include Wave:1, Wave:3, Wave Neo, Wave XLR, and XLR Dock for Stream Deck +.

**Q: How far should it be from my mouth?**
A: For best performance, place Wave Neo 10–20cm (4–8in) from your mouth. A simple way to measure this is by extending your hand in front of your face, fingers up. The ideal position is where your thumb touches your mouth.

**Q: Which part do I speak into?**
A: Always speak into the front, not the top, of Wave Neo—aiming your voice just above the mute button. Ensure the microphone is positioned upright in front of your mouth, not horizontally.

**Q: Can I hear my voice when using headphones?**
A: No, Wave Neo’s headphone jack is made for listening to your system audio, not voice monitoring.

I love the simple use software UI and easy set-up out of box. It's good for me when I need to talk to friends or use it for a school project. The price is 100% worth it especially when it's on sale as It was when I bought it.
