Wavo PRO On-Camera Shotgun Microphone
Meet JOBY Wavo Pro, the most advanced on-camera shotgun microphone on the market. Features packed with a creator-driven approach, no shooting challenge is too big for Wavo PRO. Built for storytellers, filmmakers, and expert creators, Wavo PRO is designed to pair with the latest camera hardware and brings broadcast-level audio performance to this dynamic and growing audience.
The built-in ANR (Active Noise Reduction) algorithm removes self-generated structural noise in real-time making sure you get the cleanest audio possible directly into your camera while shooting on the go. At the heart of the microphone lies the digital sound processor that can be controlled by the Wavo PRO app (iOS & Android): here you can actively shape your sound and monitor audio levels even when you're in front of the camera. Wavo PRO delivers professional content in a fun and fully intuitive package. JOBY partnered with the Rycote team to develop a brand new shock mount for the cleanest professional sound.

JOBY Wavo PRO — Professional On-Camera Audio for Video Content Creators
The gist: A broadcast-performance shotgun microphone with app-controlled EQ and Active Noise Reduction that brings consistent, professional audio quality to client video and YouTube work.
- Super-cardioid pattern: Tight pickup angle (20Hz–20kHz, SNR 96dB) rejects off-axis room noise — cleaner recordings in shared offices, cafés, and co-working spaces.
- App-controlled EQ: The dedicated Wavo PRO app (iOS & Android) lets you dial in EQ settings and monitor audio levels remotely — useful when the camera is on a tripod and you’re on screen.
- Secondary 3.5mm input: Plug in a second microphone for two-person interviews without switching to an external recorder.
- Active Noise Reduction: Removes structural and handling noise in real time — a practical advantage when recording in environments you can’t fully control.
The Gadgeteer praises the build quality and notes the combination of analog and USB-C outputs makes it “flexible recording” across camera types, reducing kit fragmentation for multi-platform creators.
Best for: Content creators producing client videos, interviews, or structured YouTube content who want professional audio from a single on-camera mic. Skip it if: Your setup requires wireless lavs or you need phantom power for external condenser microphones. Check the current price before buying.
