Maono AU-PM461TR USB Condenser Mic for PC and Singing, Recording Microphone with Mic Gain for Gaming, Podcast, Studio, Vlogging

Amazing amazing mic. Bought this 5 years ago and it's still going strong. I have recorded multiple songs on this and released on spotify and no one could tell that it's a podcasting mic. It's all about good mixing. The stand and pop filter are also of amazing quality. This mic is too good to be true. Go for it if you are looking for something really good at a cheap price.

Good Mic for Gamers , but without noise cancellation , so you need a quite room

Excellent Customer Support from Maono!I had an issue with my Maono microphone, and I reached out to their support team. I was truly impressed by their immediate response over email. They were very helpful and professional, and after understanding the issue, they quickly issued a replacement unit.The new microphone works perfectly, and I’m really happy with how smooth the entire process was. Great product backed by even better customer service. Highly recommend Maono!

I bought the Maono AU-404 Condenser Microphone Kit as I needed a professional Microphone Kit to record my Youtube and Video blogs that I publish in my aspiration to be a Influencer. I needed high quality recording equipment but also something that would fit in my budget. I researched quite a bit and was also advised by my cousin abroad as they had also used Maono audio products. I'm thrilled that I shortlisted and purchased this model. I have been using this for around a week now and below are my observations about it.● The Maono AU-404 condenser Microphone Kit came in a professional box with Foam Block cut-out packed contents, including the Condenser Mike, the adjustable arms stand, the metal shock mount, pop filter, foam mic windscreen, table mounting clamp, USB-B to USB A cable and a detailed descriptive manual. All the required parts to set up the unit.● Installation took 10 minutes on my workstation. Just followed the instructions in the manual and the diagram on the back of the box and it was really simple. Assemble from the base Clamp on the table upwards and its quite intuitive.● Once installed the Microphone kit does not move. It is rock steady and the positioning can only be changed after un-screwing the 5 plastic screw tops which hold and adjust the angles of all the joints.● Another observation that I had was that the microphone and all the parts are heavy and rugged also. This is not just a light weight local equipment put together. All the parts are polished, premium and sufficiently heavy. This translates into quality parts for a relative layperson like me. Very impressive both to use and to look at. My workstation is almost a show-area now.● The Microphone Kit once assembled is Plug-n-Play. There was no configuring required. The native application on my Mac book pro and my recording software both automatically recognized it as an external microphone and after plugging it into the USB port, I could directly start recording audio on my system. This was the part I was nervous about as I can use the applications and systems but I'm not good with configuring settings and installing drivers etc., but I didn't face any problems in use so am glad I went with this model.● The internal sound chipset is quite professional and the high resolution sampling rate ensures that the audio quality being recorded is crystal clear and crisp. There are no disturbance, distortion or variance in the recording. The pop filter and the foam mic windscreen ensures that no hissing sound or wind noise from the mouth get recorded during voice-overs or even while singing. My kids tried singing karaoke on it as they were quite excited with it and the results were quite good.Overall, A very satisfying purchase for me. Looks, installation and usage are off the charts for me. The functionality and quality provided by this product, whether I'm using it for personal Karaoke recordings with my kids to share with family or when I'm recording my You-Tube or video blog,s are of top-notch quality and make this a must have kit, both if you're a professional or hobbyist.

I was looking for a professional looking mic with most possible features at starting point and this mic covers all my needs.Its not a good idea to start with high end costly mic because as experience grows, then only we understand the refinements and then go for high end.Below are some check points before buying:1. Gain Control (Maono AU 471TS: Yes)2. USB C input (Maono AU 471TS: Yes)3. XLR input (Maono AU 471TS : NO)4. Audio Out for monitoring (Maono AU 471TS: Yes)5. Volume control (Maono AU 471TS : NO)6.

Audio app (Maono AU 471TS: No App for this model, but can use Audacity app etc)After above, it comes the quality.The audio quality of Maono AU 471TS is 4 out of 5. Noted that if you are using sound mixer with audio editing app, you will be close to 90% of best output irrespective of mic used (if brand is good and not necessary the best. Just avoid very cheap ones)Your own voice quality and clarity is foremost important. I practiced and now my voice sounds better than starting level.From price point, i feel disappointed as in Amazon, i purchased at Rs 2,705, while now it's at Rs 1,959Beings loyal to Amazon, also being lazy after doing all set up, i dont want to return.Overall i am satisfied with product and amazon.Highly recommended this product as quality and features are unbeatable at this price. Any extra feature or quality need to enhance your budget from double onwards.
