IF YOU WANT PROPER pro-level audio recording, you’ll need what’s known as an XLR mic, a device that’s becoming increasingly popular on PC thanks to the boom in streaming and podcasting. Enter an increasing number of brands jumping on the XLR bandwagon, the latest of which is Elgato Wave DX.
As an XLR mic, the Wave DX was a little fiddly to set up. It’s not a case of plugging in one cable and the mic works. Instead, it’s a multi-stage procedure that relies on you having a few things to hand.
