One Wireless Microphone, Two Recording Modes

Clip-On Mode for Hands-Free Recording

Attach the Wave Go transmitter to your clothing using the included magnetic clip or plate. This hands-free setup is ideal for creators filming themselves, recording tutorials, conducting interviews, or livestreaming while moving around.

Handheld Mode for Interviews and On-the-Go Content

Place the transmitter into the Smart Handle to create a handheld microphone configuration. This setup is well suited for street interviews, event coverage, quick presentations, and other situations where a traditional handheld microphone is more convenient.

Wave Go automatically adapts its audio processing to the way the microphone is used, helping maintain consistent, clear sound in either mode.

Designed for Mobile Content Creation

The Elgato Wave Go wireless mic system is built for creators who film with a phone and need an audio setup that is easy to carry and quick to use. The USB-C receiver connects directly to compatible devices, making it convenient for social media videos, mobile journalism, interviews, and livestreams.

With wireless transmission up to 32.8 feet, you can move naturally while recording without being restricted by a microphone cable.

Long Battery Life for Extended Recording

Wave Go is designed to keep up with long recording sessions. The transmitter provides up to 8 hours of battery life, while the Smart Handle recharges the transmitter when docked, extending total runtime to over 40 hours under the stated operating conditions.

A 10-minute quick charge provides approximately one hour of recording time, helping you get back to filming when you're short on time. The included charging case keeps the system organized between shoots.

More Than a Mobile Microphone

Wave Go also works as a compact microphone solution for everyday desktop audio. Use it for:

• Podcasting: Record solo episodes or expand your setup with a separately available second transmitter.
• Livestreaming: Capture your voice while moving around without a microphone boom arm in the camera frame.
• Video conferencing: Improve voice clarity during online meetings and remote collaboration.
• Online teaching: Deliver lessons and presentations without needing to lean toward your laptop.
• Voice-to-text and dictation: Capture spoken notes, prompts, and ideas while moving around your workspace.
• Interviews and field production: Switch between clip-on and handheld recording to suit the situation.

A Compact Wireless Microphone System

The Elgato Wave Go combines a wireless transmitter with a built-in microphone, a USB-C receiver, a Smart Handle, and a charging case in one portable system. Its convertible design reduces the need to carry separate microphones for mobile recording and handheld interviews.

For content creators and professionals looking for a flexible USB-C wireless microphone for compatible phones and computers, Wave Go offers a convenient way to capture audio both on location and at a desk.

Expand your recording setup: A second transmitter is available separately for supported two-microphone configurations.
