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

Min20 HzMax20 kHz1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-neoRead 20 October 2026Tech specs: 20 Hz - 20 kHz. No tolerance is printed.

Min20 HzMax20 kHz1Maker product pagefifinemicrophone.com/products/fifine-t669-microphone-kit-boom-armRead 23 October 2026Specification table: Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz. Basic Tutorials prints 50 Hz to 20 kHz for the T669, which no maker source supports.3Owner's manualm.media-amazon.com/images/I/D1pn-tFdKdL.pdfRead 23 October 2026Specification: Frequency Response 20Hz-20KHz.

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.

Not available

Not available

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.

-23dBFS1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-neoRead 20 October 2026Tech specs: -23 dBFS (min gain) and 7 dBFS (max gain). The minimum gain value is stored. The output is digital over USB.

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.

120dB SPL1Maker product pageelgato.com/us/en/p/wave-neoRead 20 October 2026Tech specs: Max SPL 120 dB. No distortion limit is printed, so max_spl_thd_percent is left out.

SPL 130dB (at 1kHz <= 1% T.H.D).

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.

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.

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.

Dimensions and weight

2 of 3 differ

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 review does not say whether it measured them. The microphone stands upright and is side-address, so the 120 mm length is the height and the 48 mm diameter is width and depth. Frontum prints 48 mm width and thickness. Its 203 mm height is for the microphone on its stand and is not stored.
