Corsair Enters Fast Growing Mobile Recording Market with New Elgato Wireless Microphone

Elgato, a Corsair brand, today introduced Wave Go, its first wireless microphone, extending its Wave audio lineup beyond the desktop to the fast growing mobile recording segment with a clip-on microphone and a handheld interview mic in one portable system. The global launch brings Elgato into a new growth category while connecting mobile creators to its existing audio software and Stream Deck controls.
Julian Fest, SVP and General Manager of Elgato"More content is being filmed on phones today than ever before, in more places and in ways that didn't exist a few years ago," "Wave Go was built for that world. One mic that handles it all, and sounds amazing the entire time."
Key Product Highlights
  • Integrates with the Popular Elgato Ecosystem: Wave Link and Stream Deck integration connects mobile recording with desktop production.
  • Two recording modes: Switch from a magnetic clip-on microphone to a handheld interview mic in seconds using the included Smart Handle.
  • Lightweight design: The coin-sized transmitter weighs just 7 grams and attaches magnetically to clothing.
  • Automatic audio processing: EQ Shift selects the sound profile for each mode. Auto Gain, a limiter, and a low-cut filter help manage voice levels and low-frequency rumble.
  • Up to 48 hours of total runtime: The transmitter provides up to 8 hours per charge, and the Smart Handle stores up to five full recharges. A 10-minute charge provides about an hour of use.
  • Simple phone recording: Connect through the USB-C receiver, with pass-through phone charging and on-device controls for recording, mute, and noise cancellation.
  • Complete system for $99.99: Includes the transmitter, receiver, Smart Handle, carrying case, magnetic mounts, windscreens, and charging cable. A second transmitter costs $29.99 USD, or $14.99 USD when purchased with Wave Go on elgato.com.
  • Broad launch reach: Direct availability in more than 40 countries and regions, with Corsair's authorized retail network to follow.
One Microphone for Mobile Recording and Interviews
Wave Go connects to a phone through a single USB-C receiver and switches between clip-on and handheld recording in seconds. The coin-sized transmitter weighs about 0.25 ounces and attaches magnetically to clothing. Its clip-on sound profile restores vocal clarity and presence when recording at chest level. For interviews, the transmitter slots into the Smart Handle to become a full-sized handheld microphone. The handle adds recording controls and charging, while a dedicated sound profile adjusts the microphone for the warmth and presence of close-up speech.

Automatic Audio Processing and Simple Controls
Wave Go combines a condenser capsule with onboard processing to deliver detailed voice recording without manual setup. EQ Shift automatically selects the sound profile for clip-on or handheld use. Auto Gain adjusts levels as voices get louder or quieter, while a limiter controls sudden peaks and a low-cut filter reduces low-frequency rumble. These features work automatically, without navigating menus or adjusting settings. A single button on the transmitter and Smart Handle controls power, mute, and recording on a connected phone. A button on the receiver switches noise cancellation on or off to reduce background noise. LEDs on all three components show operating status and battery level.

Up to 48 Hours of Runtime with Smart Handle Recharging
The transmitter delivers up to 8 hours of recording on a single charge. The Smart Handle stores up to five full recharges and charges the transmitter while it is docked, including during recording. Combined with the transmitter's initial charge, this provides up to 48 hours of total runtime. A 10-minute charge provides about an hour of use. The carrying case holds the transmitter, Smart Handle, receiver, and an optional second microphone. When connected to USB-C power, it recharges the system's components together. The receiver supports USB-C pass-through charging to keep a connected phone powered while recording.

*And the quality of various digital media has been steadily declining ever since.

*I could clearly state the reasons, but I don't know how without getting into trouble.
