Elgato Wave Panels Starter Kit Review

Elgato Wave Panels and my setup

You might be thinking to yourself, why would anyone want to stick hexagonal foam pieces all over their walls? Well the answer is content creators, streamers, podcasters, and just about anyone who wants a way to reduce echo and reverb in their space.

I work in a small room with no carpet, not much furniture and a lot of empty space. This creates a large echo chamber and it can really ruin my video work. It’s the one thing I can’t seem to improve when I’m making videos.

Well, it seems to be a common issue and Elgato have decided to create the Wave Panel product line to solve it. But with a cost of over £100/$100 is it actually an affordable solution, and does the product actually work? To test this out I bought the starter kit, grabbed four different microphones, and began testing. How well did they perform? Check out the video below to see!
