When using a laptop mic isn’t really cutting it—and when getting a full audio setup isn’t quite realistic—the answer is a high-performing, versatile USB mic. The answer is the Elgato Neo Wave Microphone. Engineered to deliver all of the clarity and capabilities of premium audio equipment, this compact, free-standing desktop mic is an easy way to capture everyday moments at home, in the office, and on the go in resolution far superior to that of most laptop mics or headset mics. It’s a plug-and-play way to sound smooth and professional on any meeting or game chat—even when you're connected to an iPad, iPhone, or PS5. With a raised desktop stand and tap-to-mute, it’s easy to set up and speak into (or not) whenever you need it.

Though it needs no extra software, the Wave Neo does work with Elgato’s own Wave Link app, so you can mix audio and apply voice effects for even more control in seconds.
