Product Showcase 

Right, let's have a look at the product, in specific the WAVE:3 which we'll check out today. I can tell already the product looks robust and sturdy, quality is the word you'll be mentally looking for when unboxing that bundle.

Included in the box is of course the WAVE:3, a USB-C type cable, desktop stand with 14" threading, and a boom adapter.

The design is nice and black and has a bit of the 60'ies broadcast mic feel to it. It's a nice looking product that you can position in the direction of your mouth really well. There is some subtle LED activity built-in as well.

At the top going from left to right, you see a threefold of options, MIC, Headset, and MIX/PC Mix. With a push of the rotary button, you can select the specific modus operandus and by turning that same button you adjust the volume level.

At the backside you'll spot that USB connector, you'll receive 2 meters of USB cable with it to connect to your PC, which is very decent. Next to that a 3.5 mm Mini-Jack for headphones or audio monitor.

The top side has a touch-sensitive button, you do not need to push it, just touch it and you can mute/unmute.  A red around the rotary knob LED will indicate MUTE is on.

And if you place the MIC on a hard surface, that could result in some resonating noises being recorded, ergo Elgato applies a thick rubber cover here. it also helps 'sticking' that MIC sturdily yo your desktop.  BTW there are also accessories available like a shock mount and pop filter.
