Joby Wavo POD: Designing a USB Microphone for Creators
Microphone for the Creator Economy
The Joby Wavo Pod is the new USB microphone that simplifies the content creator’s workflow, making recording and streaming immediate and precise. Designed for Joby, the microphone is conceived for all creators looking for simple and fast interaction with the device, along with the possibility to adapt it to their needs.
Easy to use, the Joby Wavo Pod offers excellent sound recording and includes all the key functions for proper audio management, ensuring your voice comes out warm, crisp, and clear. Delineo Design’s goal wasn’t just to create a product with an appealing design. Through a comprehensive product design study, the aim was to design an experience that puts the user at the center, making it a significant and memorable moment.
The design clearly communicates its intended use, making it ready for a solo recording or a two-person interview with just a click. Excellent sound quality is ensured by equipping the microphone with pop filters, an accessory that eliminates “popping” sounds and makes the microphone iconic. The exclusive mounting system makes it versatile and customizable: the 1/4″ side mounts pair perfectly with the range of JOBY accessories.
“Ideal for creating, experimenting, and having fun!”
The Joby Wavo POD microphone features a handy multifunction knob with an intuitive color system for easy audio control, speeding up setup for creators. Press and hold to adjust headphone volume (blue) or gain (purple). A short press mutes the microphone (red).
Included with the microphone is the POP filter, which helps ensure clear sound transmission. This filter consists of a curved, perforated metal plate positioned in front of the microphone, preventing incorrect microphone placement. The plate, mounted with a third intuitive and minimal knob, can divide the microphone capsule into two sound input zones for dual interview mode.
