does it pick up background noise alot?

@@bryanteehee682 as long as you don't have the gain on the mic cranked up its minimal

Hey man, kind of a dumb question but does the jackport of the always output your voice or can you disable it somehow in order to just listen your PC?

@@nsfshdfgj it has a little touchpad above the gain nob that mutes the mic

@@dealspeed6756 Oh sorry I meant while using the mic as well, I just kinda wanna use it the port as just another 3.5 output rather than just for monitoring, all of this while using the mic, I assume this is not possible?

i know this is a dumb question but what is preamp? Im thinking of getting this mic for streaming and I REALLY want to know ur HONEST review.

@@veli1x Hey there friend. It's not a dumb question at all. A preamp is the needed component that takes the signal of your source, in this case a microphone, and boosts it so that it is loud enough to hear. Every microphone has to go through a preamp in order to be recorded. USB microphones have built in pre's but for the most part they are cheep and small so they can fit inside the microphone. I would say if you are on a budget and just getting started. Using the Maono 421 is a great choice. In truth I use mine for that all the time because it's easy to setup, it looks great and sounds pretty good. The main problem with the built in pre is that it is noisy. That means you will hear a hiss sound. It's low but you can hear it. If you have a little more in your budget, I recommend getting a Presonus PD-70. It's a Dynamic Mic ($130.) Being a dynamic mic it will reject a lot of room noise so it's better to use in non sound treated areas. I also looks a lot like the very popular and great looking (and expensive) Shure SM7B broadcast microphone. But to stream you need more than a mic. You will need an audio interface like a Focusrite or something similar. A decent one will run you about $100-$200. An audio interface will have a much better pre amp in it and better analog to digital conversion. You will also need an XLR cable to connect the mic to the audio interface. So in a nutshell. You can go the cheap and easy route by just buying a USB mic like the Maono and deal with the preamp noise or spend a bit more and have a slightly more complicated setup and get a cleaner more professional sound. Hope this helps.

did things get better?

@@jornave4407 Well I started using voice meeter, but it is still not as good as I expected. My headset (Astro A10) still has better mic quality.

@@OnlineMoneySecrets1495 I have no idea what the problem is also. But when I bought my prebuilt the psu and motherboard was not listed. So it might be a motherboard issue but also might not be

Maono pm422 and au-pm422 is the same, and i highly recommend pm422

It's not bad. You have to tame some frequencies as it can be a little harsh. But with the right plugins it can sound great. I recommend Waves NS1 to remove Preamp noise for sure ($29)

Its a USB mic. Plug and play. So, yeah. Also, depends on how you use it. I suggest putting it closer to your mouth.

it does, you can move it until the boom arm becomes straight
