Sound specs

3 of 10 differ

Frequency responseiPublished acoustic range of the microphone. A sample rate does not establish it.

Min50 HzMax15 kHz1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-dx-dynamic-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Tech Specs: 50 - 15000 Hz. No tolerance is printed.

Min50 HzMax13 kHz2Maker spec sheet (PDF)edge.rode.com/pdf/products/108/PodMic_Datasheet_FA.pdfRead 15 October 2026Frequency Range: 50Hz ~13 kHz. The older datasheet (May 2023, linked from rode.com) and the spec tab of the rode.com page say 50Hz - 15kHz. The newer sheet is stored. The frequency chart in both sheets falls steeply at about 15 kHz.

Sensitivity (analog)iAnalog output level for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz, as published in dBV. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A value published only in mV/Pa is converted as 20 x log10(mV/Pa / 1000) and rounded to one decimal, so 1.6 mV/Pa is -55.9 dBV/Pa. The printed value goes in the source note. A sensitivity in plain dB with no reference, as many low-cost USB microphones print it, is left out.

-52dBV/Pa1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-dx-dynamic-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Tech Specs: 2.5 mV/Pa, -52 dbV/Pa. 2.5 mV/Pa is -52.04 dBV, so the two figures agree. The reference level is not printed and 1 Pa is assumed.

-57dBV/Pa2Maker spec sheet (PDF)edge.rode.com/pdf/products/108/PodMic_Datasheet_FA.pdfRead 15 October 2026Sensitivity: -57.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. The sheet adds 1.60mV @ 94 dB SPL, which would be -55.9 dBV. The older sheet and the rode.com spec tab print -57dBV (1.4mV @ 94dB SPL). The dB value is the same in all three.3Maker spec sheet (PDF)edge.rode.com/pdf/products/108/PodMic_Datasheet_07_FA.pdfRead 15 October 2026Older datasheet: -57dBV (1.4mV @ 94dB SPL) +/- 2dB @1kHz.

Sensitivity (digital)iDigital output level over USB for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz. The minimum gain value is used when several are given. The gain setting goes in the source note. On a USB-only microphone use this field only when the maker prints dBFS or ties a dBV value to the USB output, as Shure does for the MV7i. A dBV, dB re 1 V/Pa or mV/Pa value that names no USB output is left out. The printed unit and the gain go in the source note. A value printed for another reference level is converted by the level difference, so -40 dBFS at 80 dB SPL is -26 dBFS at 94 dB SPL. The printed value goes in the source note.

Not available

Not available

Max SPLiHighest sound pressure level at the source's distortion limit. The THD level and output path go in the source note. The value without a clipping protection mode such as Clipguard is used when both are given. The value with the pad off is used. When the maker lists several preamp loads, the highest load is used. The load goes in the source note. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for sensitivity.

Not available

Not available

Max SPL distortion limitiThe distortion level at which the maker states the max SPL, e.g. 1, 3 or 10 % THD. Left out when the maker names none. Max SPL figures compare only at the same limit.

Not available

Not available

Self-noiseiEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, in dB SPL. Lower is quieter. The analog value is used when analog and digital values are both given. A value in dBV or dBFS is left out. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for max SPL.

Not available

Not available

Digital noise flooriDigital noise floor of a USB microphone as printed, usually A-weighted over 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Lower is quieter. Processing that was on during the test goes in the source note. It is not self-noise.

Signal-to-noise ratioiAs published. Reference level and weighting go in the source note. The microphone's own figure, not the SNR of a built-in headphone amplifier.

Output impedanceiRated impedance of the XLR output. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A USB-only microphone has no value here, even when the maker prints an impedance for the capsule. When the maker prints a rated and an actual impedance, as Shure does for the SM58, the rated value is stored and the actual one goes in the source note.

600Ω1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-dx-dynamic-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Tech Specs: Impedance 600 Ohm.

Onboard controlsiFunctions you can change on the microphone itself, by knob, button, switch or touch. Settings that exist only in the app do not count. A switch that sets preamp gain steps, such as +18 or +28 dB, counts as gain. Echo is a knob or button for an echo or reverb effect.

Not available

Not available

Onboard processingiProcessing inside the microphone, analog or digital, that works without the maker's app running. A maker statement that settings are saved in the microphone counts. Effects that run only in the app on the computer do not count. An expander counts as noise gate. Clip protection such as Clipguard is clip protection. Limiter is only for a limiter the maker lists as its own effect, never both for one feature. Brand names such as APHEX or Clipguard go in the source note. Attenuation pad is a switch that lowers the capsule output, such as -15 dB. Echo is an echo or reverb effect in the microphone. Exciter or bass enhancer covers effects that add harmonics or bass, such as APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

Microphone dimensionsiMicrophone body without a stand or a detachable shock mount. A fixed yoke is included. Width is left to right as seen by the speaker, height is bottom to top in normal use and depth is front to back. Orient the microphone as in use on its yoke or stand. Depth is the direction it points at the speaker, height is up and width is across. An upright side-address microphone has its length as height. An end-address microphone has its length as depth, also when it is held in the hand. A round microphone with only a length and a diameter uses the diameter for the other two sides. The source note states the mapping.

The page data names the 146 mm Product Length and 53 mm Product Width and Height. The mic is end-address, so the 146 mm length is the depth toward the speaker. GamesRadar says the body is under 15 cm long and 5.3 cm across, not counting the mounting joint, so the size is the body only.7Reviewgamesradar.com/elgato-wave-dx-reviewRead 15 October 2026Review: without the mounting joint the body is under 15 cm long and 5.3 cm across.
