The page data gives one SKU per colour: 10MAH9901-WH23007 White, 10MAH9901-DM2502 DOOM, 10MAH9901-PI23006 Pink Petal, 10MAH9901-BL2501 Glacier Ice, 10MAH9901-PU2501 Wild Lavender and 10MAH9901-GR2501 Forest Green. No retailer listing of the colour SKUs was found.","status":"The US page sells all seven colours at 99.99 USD and shows them in stock.","colors":"Colour swatches on the page: Black, White, DOOM, Pink Petal, Glacier Ice, Wild Lavender, Forest Green.","variants":"One variant per colour from the colour list of the page. The hardware, the Tech Specs and the box list are the same for all colours.","capsule_count":"The page names the dynamic capsule inside Wave DX in the singular. It prints no capsule count.","polar_patterns":"Tech Specs: Polar pattern Cardioid.","address_type":"FAQ: speak into the top of the mic, not the side. Wave DX is a top-address microphone that captures the voice from the end of the grille.","frequency_response_hz":"Tech Specs: 50 - 15000 Hz. No tolerance is printed.","sensitivity_dbv_pa":"Tech 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.","output_impedance_ohm":"Tech Specs: Impedance 600 Ohm.","connection_types":"Tech Specs: Connector 3-pin XLR. FAQ: the mic does not connect directly via USB.","phantom_power":"FAQ: no phantom power is required and a 48V setting on the interface can stay off. The Quick Start Guide goes further and says not to use 48V phantom power. The schema has no option for phantom power that must be off, so the closest option is stored.","headphone_jack":"The Tech Specs list one connector, 3-pin XLR. The page calls the mic pure analog with zero circuitry.","mount_threads":"Tech Specs: 5/8 inch mount with 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch thread adapters included.","pop_filter":"Internal pop shield of acoustically engineered nylon fiber between two layers of foam.","desk_stand_included":"The box list has no stand. Wave Desk Stand is sold separately.","housing_material":"Page gallery: hardened steel chassis.","dimensions_mm":"Tech Specs: 53 x 53 x 146 mm. 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.","weight_g":"Tech Specs: 440 g | 1 lb. The page does not say whether the swivel mount is part of the weight. Tom's Hardware prints 0.97 lb, which is 440 g. Amazon prints 407 g, which is not used because the maker states a value.","in_the_box":"Tech Specs, In The Box: Wave DX, Swivel Mount, 3/8\" and 1/4\" Thread Adapters, Quick Start Guide. XLR cable and audio interface are not included."}},{"url":"https://www.elgato.com/explorer/products/wave/elgato-wave-dx-quick-start-guide/","kind":"manual","accessed":"2026-10-15","fields":["manual_url","address_type","connection_types","phantom_power","mount_threads"],"notes":{"manual_url":"Quick Start Guide, page 1 of the Elgato explorer.
