Lewitt Audio Inside
Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, LEWITT Audio subjects its microphones to rigorous calibration and quality control in world-class testing facilities with seasoned sound engineers. That’s how they get their microphones into legendary recording studios, and why Elgato equipped Wave microphones with their audio technology. It’s how you get that sonic signature your audience will notice.
CLIPGUARD | Get Amped Without Clipping
Now you don’t need to watch levels while live, nor attempt to salvage distorted audio in post-production. When input levels peak, proprietary Clipguard technology instantly reroutes sound through a second signal path that runs at a lower volume. The result is clean audio output, no matter how loud you scream.
