No, the Wave:3 MK.2 does not include a shock mount in the box. However, it has a standard 5/8-inch thread on the bottom, so you can attach it to any standard mic arm or shock mount, such as the Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP.
The Wave:3 MK.2 has a standard 5/8-inch thread (with a 3/8-inch adapter included in the box), so it works with most microphone stands and shock mounts.
While the Wave:3 MK.2 is mainly designed for PC and Mac, it can be used with some consoles that support USB audio, but advanced features like Wave Link and VST plugins require the Wave Link app available on Windows and macOS.
This mic sounds amazing right out of the box. My voice is crisp and clear, and the Clipguard really works – I've never had any distortion even when I get excited. The Wave Link software is a great bonus for mixing audio sources.
The mic itself is fantastic, but to get the most out of it, you need to use the Wave Link app. Once you set it up, you can adjust EQ, compression, and more. It takes some time to learn, but the results are worth it.
I upgraded from a cheap USB mic and the difference is night and day. The Wave:3 has a rich, broadcast-quality sound that makes my streams sound professional. The mute button on the front is handy. Love it.
I tend to get loud when streaming, and this mic never clips. The sound is always clean and clear. The build quality is solid and it looks great on my desk. Highly recommend it to any streamer or podcast host.
The mic is good, but it's quite heavy. My budget boom arm sagged under its weight. I had to buy a more expensive arm. The audio quality is decent, but nothing outstanding compared to my old mic.
I'm used to XLR mics, but I wanted a simple USB mic. The Wave:3 delivers good sound with a lot of features. The software is a bit limiting compared to full-fledged mixing apps, but it's fine for most users.
