Maono PD100 Professional XLR Dynamic Microphone for Singing, YouTube Recording, Podcast, with Voice Isolation Technology, Metal Mic, Work for Audio Interface, Mixer

Best for beginners But don't forget to buy Pre-Amp for this. Just Audio Interface alone Won't help

As a gaming streamer and content creator I am using this mic and the experience is best till now.Things which I liked the most- build quality is completely metal.- very sturdy on the table because of weight.- sound quality is top notch even listeners confirmed it.Few things which could be better- usb cable can be better quality.- rgb lights or just few lights will make it look much more stylish.

Its gives a clear audio signal with very little microphone noise and has nice lows and mid range. However the signal is a quite weak and you have to raise the gain on your interface a lot. If you have a cheap noisy interface the signal to noise ratio will be pretty bad. For best results either use it with an inline gain booster or with an interface that can provide considerable gain without introducing too much noise.I bought it with an ESI u22xt interface and I have to turn the gain knob around 85-90% to make the audio signal hit around -28db in the meters and the signal is pretty hard to cleanup with the noise that comes at that setting. After adding noise gates, EQ, compressor and limiters to boost the signal to useable levels there is still a lot of perceptible noise. I tried many noise reduction plugins but haven't found a solution that works, but I have found an odd workaround that gives an audio good enough for my uses. I simply routed the monitored audio from OBS studio with 10db gain and noise reduction added using the apps filters to my DAW using a virtual cable and its giving a far better signal than when i am directly recording on the DAW and using noise reduction plugins.I recommend getting a better interface or an inline gain booster to use with this mic. Dynamic mics are generally weak and even mics from brands like Shure and Audio Technica can be this gain hungry. Keep that in mind when buying this mic.Also the desktop stand is short, even with the extender that comes with it.

The Maono PD100 microphone is awesome for singing, YouTube, and podcasting. It blocks out background noise so your voice sounds clear. It's tough and works with mixers and interfaces. Great for making professional-sounding recordings. Highly recommended!

This mic has excellent noise cancellation and is easy to use. Portable and looks durable. Recommended for podcasts or voice overs.

Sounds amazing for vocals, doesn't capture too much background noise, but this results in less detail while recording instruments like guitar.
