Wavo PRO
Even though both the PRO DS and the PRO use the exact same audio components, the PRO comes with some additional features such as active noise cancellation and controls over EQ and other settings that can be made via a companion app. The PRO also features an external TRS input so you can input a second microphone.
The PRO also features an activatable safety track that helps you avoid distortion, and LEDs show audio levels and battery status.
