MAONO Podcast Microphone: XLR Dynamic Microphone For Podcast-Vocal Recording-Streaming Metal Mic, Works for Audio Interface, Mixer-PD100

Very solid silent broadcast microphone.

Wonderful sound quality, and can be use for music production and Podcasts.

Unfortunately I received damaged XLR cable.

good

Excelente calidad y buen sonido, hay que conectarlo con phantom power para que tenga buen volumen.

There's not a great deal more that I can say that hasn't already been said. This mic has a nice, warm sound, good build quality, good noise and feedback rejection, all at a fantastic price. Use a FET preamp such as Fethead or cloud lifter. I was feeling adventurous and disassembled the mic so you can see what's inside. Edit on 9/14/24 I recorded a song with this mic and the tone is good. Sensitivity is good across the dynamic range of my voice when singing. My only issue is the peaks are a little distorted due to overdriving the input into the computer software. I only used a little EQ and added a very short delay and room reverb. My wife and kids were upstairs and not really being quiet but none of that shows up in the recording. The recording chain is as follows: Maona mic > Triton Audio Fethead > Mixer > USB interface > Audacity. I wanted to show what the most basic setup could get you in terms of sound quality If you play the video you can tell that the way the mic picks up my voice is very consistent. There isn't a need for lots of EQ or compression unless there's a specific sound you are trying to get by doing so. Another reviewer mentioned offending frequencies but I didn't really notice any of that. Even the low end is flattering for my voice, which is unusual since I tend to roll off the lows quite a bit with other mics. This means that the male vocal range will do well with this in DJ, podcasting or voice-over work. Overall, I am very happy with this mic.

Compré varios microfonos, son muy buenos y resistentes, con cuerpo totalmente de metal y la verdad es un plus que ya tenga su cable, la calidad del audio es muy limpia y suprime bien otros ruidos externos, es muy buena compra

Me encantan ya tengo cuatro. Considero que son una muy buena opción calidad precio. Me dedico a la creación de podcast y renta de por su adaptabilidad y bajo costo es una muy buena opción. La calidad del audio es bastante buena. No le pongo cinco estrellas solo porque uno de los cuatro micros que me llegaron no embona muy bien el cable con el micrófono, tuve que retirarle el empaque para que funcionara perfecto. Fuera de eso no he tenido ningún percance me encantan

I've been looking around for a good affordable dynamic mic to use as a travel podcast mic and reading the reviews, along with watching some YouTube videos featuring the sound quality of this mic, I decided to give it a chance (especially because I got it when it went on a flash sale for $35! So keep a lookout for when this mic goes on sale again) Pros: - Great quality sounding mic - Does not need phantom power to run (simply plug and play into your audio interface of choice) - Low noise when not speaking into the mic - Lightweight and perfect to pack and travel with - comes with everything you need to record, including cables, except the audio interface of course. - all metal body and stand, seems to be made with good quality materials. Cons: - Needs a decent amount of gain, so make sure your audio interface has good enough pre amps and gain to turn this mic UP - Handling noise is an issue, do not touch this mic while recording or be very careful if you have to. - You will definitely need a windscreen or pop filter for plosives which is not included with this package. - Youll need to get comfortable with some audio editing to really get this mic to sound amazing rather than good enough. Overall it is a great mic for beginners and pros alike. Seems like it will last you a while, and you'll be able to grow with it the more you learn about audio recording and editing. If this mic is what your budget allows and are on edge of whether or not to invest, I would say to just go for it and you will be surprised and excited to know that you got a great quality mic at such an affordable price!
