The Elgato Wave Neo is a plug-and-play USB microphone for people who want clear voice audio for calls, recordings, streaming or gaming. It suits home and office setups, and works with computers, iPad, iPhone and PlayStation 4 or 5, with an adapter required for iPhone.

Its cardioid condenser capsule focuses on sound from in front of the microphone. The raised desktop stand positions it for voice capture and helps reduce keyboard noise. Tap-to-mute controls the microphone, with an LED indicator when muted. Connect headphones to monitor audio with zero delay, or use the optional Wave Link app to mix audio and add voice effects.
