The Wave:3 also easily unscrews from its stand, making it a very portable microphone.Įlgato conceals the Wave:3’s condenser mic capsule (the part that captures your sound waves) within a multilayered noise shield that acts as an internal pop filter against excessive plosive noises-such as “P’s,” “T’s,” and “K’s”-and the protective, perforated steel grille. ![]() For example, standing in their desktop base mounts, the Blue Yeti is nearly 12-inches tall and weighs a total of 3.4 pounds, while the Wave:3 is 8.4-inches tall and weighs a total of 1.3 pounds.
