MAONO XLR Condenser Microphone with 34mm Large Diaphragm, Professional Cardioid Studio Mic for Podcasting, Recording, Streaming, Vocals, Voice Over, Music, ASMR(PM500)

I recently purchased a set of Maono wireless mics for shooting video and was really surprised at their quality. That encouraged me to try this as well for computer-based recording. It performs so much better than I expected from such a reasonably priced mic. The sound is crisp, clear and warm. I haven’t tried recording any instruments yet, but it’s fantastic for vocals. I will be buying more Maono products in the future. Highly recommend

Excellent mic. I use it in my studio and have been very satisfied with it vocal sound.

I am using this Microphone as I write this! I am preparing for my day of violin lessons. I had no trouble setting it up with my audio interface. The videos that were on Amazon were excellent! The problem I had was that I neglected to turn up the gain on the audio interface! Once I turned up the Gain Wow! I went on Zoom immediately with my husband, and finally he could here the true tone of my violin! Teaching online compromises my tone. Tone is key with violin. No matter how many notes you play you must have good tone. This Microphone begins a new era for my online teaching. Addendum: Lessons were great! I'm much more comfortable with my sound and the sound of my students. It was absolutely no problem to work with-- it just worked!

I needed a microphone primarily for work but also for chatting with friends on Discord and found this. Personally, I have a more mid-sounding voice and wanted to be able to enhance the boomy lows while still keeping the sound crisp and clear and not muffled like how some dynamic mics do. For the price, this thing is amazing. I've been using it for about 6 months now and I love it. When using the proximity effect, my voice sounds very full while still being clear and the all-metal body gives me confidence that it will last. If you already have an XLR interface and are on a mid-range budget, I can't recommend this enough. My only gripe is that I wish the metal windscreen was all black and didn't have the orange M on the front, I just ended up painting it black so it's not a huge deal at all.

El micrófono está bien, lo malo que cuando me lo entregaron solo lo enviaron en su caja no le pusieron algo para protegerlo del agua y ese día había llovido lo bueno que lo pusieron en un lugar que no se mojara cuando lo entrégaron

Purchased this mic as a replacement for an older, less expensive one. I use this for voice over work and the sound quality is excellent. Easy setup, and compatible with both Apple and Microsoft devices. It uses a stand base that is quite stable, and doesn't take up too much desk space. Having a built in headphones jack for live monitoring has been a game changer in my ability to set up quickly too.

The quality of this mic is surprisingly pretty good. Definitely a deal for the price.

If this was all metal, I would love it. The plastic makes it of lesser quality. The filter does not line up properly with the microphone, it sits slightly askew on the front of the shockmount. And, the condenser mic doesn't screw completely into the base of the shockmount so it is a little loose, causing the cord to make the mic turn at will if you don't have the cord held down with a zip tie or something. The sound seems to be pretty good so far, but it sounds almost exactly like my dynamic mic.

Gran calidad de audio

I've been doing a podcast the last few months and got a little too overly obsessed about audio quality. I've been trying multiple different kinds of condenser mics from the nt1 at the high price point all the way down to more budget voice over mics like the worker bee1 and 2 with lots of cool name brand mics in between. The reviews sold me on this and I'm glad they did. This Mic is perfect for a podcaster emphasizes the low end of The voice but doesn't remove the character of the upper end like the Blue Ember does. The quality of the microphone is very smooth you don't hear very much distortion and it makes your voice very pleasant to listen to. It also seems to do a much better job of rejecting gross mouth noises which condenser mics tend to love to pick up. Also good off axis rejection to eliminate your computer fan if you keep it behind. Don't let mics that are ostensibly "cool" and popular fool you. This thing isn't my fav in terms of style but in the end that doesn't matter at all. What people hear is your voice.

This is my very first condenser mic. I wanted to try to see if a condenser mic makes a difference in sound recording with my current Sennheiser e935 mic which already sounds good but somehow I'm not fully satisfied. So, I gave the Maono condenser mic a try. To my big surprise, it sounds really good as for singing but also recording which is my main reason of purchasing. It outperforms big over the e935 in sounding. I've connected it using the same configuration using an Allen & Health Zedi10fx mixer connected to an external Lexicon MX400 sound processor end uses a Zoom H4n Pro multitrack for recording instead of built-in effect processor and usb recording. Wow, look no further, Maono condenser mic simply rocks. No wonder it receives top rated reviews and my own testing simply confirms its excellent sound quality.

Yes, it delivered what I needed.

This is a great mic. if you're on a budget, this is the one to get. for whatever you do, really. I had to return it because it opened my eyes to getting a better mic that costs more than double. the Lewitt 440 Pure. I would have never considered the Lewitt if I didn't get this mic, the Maono is just a cheaper version of that mic (albeit not as good, but still really good). I would not recommend the Lewitt if you're starting out. but if you are starting out, or already have a dynamic mic. this a great mic to add to your arsenal.
