The new Wavo PRO is something different. The closest comparison I have for it is the big brother of therecently announced RODE VideoMic II, the VideoMic Pro, but as great as that mic is, it pales in comparison to the Wavo PRO when it comes to features.
While RODE’s mic is excellent on its own terms (and certainly much cheaper), the Wavo PRO is an absolute monster of audio equipment that’s equipped with a hybrid analogue/digital system to power onboard active noise reduction, a sound management app, and integrated second 3.5mm mic input.
One criticism of the RODE VideoMic Wireless GO is that it hasn’t got any LED indicators. The Wavo PRO hastwo, one in the front and back, so you can always tell when the mic is active. Better still, the Wavo PRO supports secondary mic input for dual channel recording.
Not to mention, there is an auto power mode to switch the mic on/off automatically together with the camera.
The mid-range Wavo PRO DS is for people who like the look of the PRO but don’t want to splash out quite as much for a shotgun mic. The Wavo PRO DS is not massively cheaper than the flagship model but accessible and capable enough so semi-pro creators might consider it.
What you’ll miss out on, compared to the Wavo PRO, are the ANC, secondary mic input and audio control on the mic itself. Instead of ANC, you get a high-pass filter that cleans sound from unwanted low frequencies, an onboard safe track for mono or dual-channel recording and integrated LEDs indicating battery and audio levels.
Not bad!
I’m pretty sure the Wavo AIR is a response to RODE’s mega-popularWireless GO II. The Wavo AIR is an ‘instant-pairing’ wireless microphone kit that is said to deliver “tight, broadcast-quality sound” without cables connecting the transmitters to the camera or phone.
The Wavo AIR Kit comes standard with two transmitters, two lavalier mics and cable adapters for both cameras and phones and features high-quality, 2.4 GHz wireless audio capture technology in a compact form factor.
The range is up to 50m (164ft); mics can even be placed in different locations to record specific audio far from the camera to enrich the video content. Tight!
The Wavo POD is a large-diaphragm, USB condenser microphone for audio streamers that has both cardioid and omnidirectional pickup patterns with 24bit/48kHz high-res sampling rates.
It includes a zero-latency headphone monitoring 3.5mm jack along with a volume and gain knob with one-click integrated mute functionality and comes with a sexy red pop filter and a desk stand. A secondary filter is available as a separate purchase that shields the mic’s backside for multiple or simultaneous recording angles.
The Wavo POD has a standard USB Type-C connection and two ¼-20 mounts on either side of the mic stand so you can attach accessories and position the mic using a boom arm (or GorillaPod, of course). It’s also equipped with a detachable base and U bracket, native ⅜" female screw, and included ⅜" to ⅝" adapter to easily connect to any boom arm. Boom! Mic drop.
Wavo Lav PRO: pro-level lavalier mic
The Wavo Lav PRO has a 2.5m-long, high-quality cable made from soft materials.
