The Wave U1 USB Condenser Microphone from SmallRig is a cardioid condenser mic that combines professional-quality sound capture with the ease of plug-and-play USB connectivity on both Mac, Windows, and Linux computers. The U1 allows you to record studio-quality audio in higher-than-CD quality, 24-bit/48 kHz resolution without the need for an external mic preamp, audio interface, and headphone amplifier. Its cardioid polar pattern offers focused and accurate audio capture for a wide variety of applications, including gaming, chatting, music recording, live streaming, and video conferencing.
Stepless Gain Adjustment and Intuitive Touch Control
Digital sound adjustment via a hollow encoder transmits and converts your signal in real time. Simply turn the embedded wheel for easy touch control. Muting the microphone is just as intuitive with the touch-sensitive mute button. LED indicators glow white or red to display mute status.
Plug-and-Play Studio-Grade Sound Quality
An embedded digital-to-analog converter captures vocals and delivers audio at 48 kHz 24-bit. A high-sensitivity cardioid pickup pattern ensures vocal capture from up to 16.4′ away. Simply plug the microphone into your device using the included cable with USB-C to USB-A adapter.
Noise Reduction Filter
Built-in noise reduction filters out low-frequency hums for a 98 dB high dynamic range, utilizing embedded digital filters. This allows your vocal to standout and eliminates unwanted ambient noise.
Compatible Devices and Systems
Use the Wave UI with your Windows, macOS, and Linux computers. The microphone is also compatible with Android devices and PS4/PS5 systems for live-streaming and in-game communication. Live-stream audio to your social media platform of choice.
Accurate Sound Reproduction
The U1’s grille provides triple protection against interference to ensure clear audio. An inner, shock-absorbing bracket and anti-slip shim on the desk stand prevent distortion from jostling.
Modular Design
Included with the Wave U1 is a single support rod and a desk stand. Add on up to 5 separately available support rods to increase the height of your microphone. Rotate your device up to 360° and tilt up to 20° for optimal positioning. A 5/8″-27 thread at the bottom of the support rod can connect the mic either to the included stand or to your preexisting boom arm.
