I'm not an audio guy much too but I know some people who are and this is definitely a good mic itself (when talking into the right side) but the shock mount and arm stand are not really the best so when you can it's best to upgrade to something like the RODE PSA1 and get a good shock mount. When testing if you move the arm or anything while recording or live or whatever it picks it up but definitely I am going to keep the mic.

forsure. for me once the arm is in place it never moves during recording. but yes a better arm would be great. but that arm costs as much as this whole kit. For the price this is a fantastic way to start.

Great unboxing and review video. Like you discovered the new Maono mic is really for AUDIO perfection because it's made for RADIO/PODCAST style broadcasting. I used to be an old school radio anchor and these types of mics were the only ones we used in-studio, and the producers MADE CERTAIN you spoke RIGHT INTO the mic as you discovered. That is really what they are built to do as the name applies it's a PODCAST mic not really for making videos. However, as time went by even us radio jocks wanted to also be on camera on social media so we would just have a camera record us from a side view or angled higher than the person speaking into the Maono style mic so you can actually SEE and HEAR them really well. Again, very awesome review thanks for that. Expecting my Maono A04H in about 24 hours so this review helped me figure out what to expect. Thanks!

Hello, this mic (Tho the Au3 version) seems to work well for males - but bad for females? It hardly picks up my voice, it's very low sound, even with the correct setup (Facing branding etc). I've seen no video from a female rating this mic set, and I frankly hardly find any females at all rating mics... So I am suspecting it's the audio range is made for the male spectrum of tones rather than female. :( I just can not get a good sound out of it, whatever I do. It's always too low and can hardly even be heard AT ALL unless I base my voice or shout.
@gregtoope4 жыл бұрын
I really don’t think that is the case as my wife has used this mic numerous times and it has worked perfectly fine. We will be doing another review of this mic shortly and I will see if I can get her to come use it so that you can see how it works with a female voice.

Agree! Not sure if it has something to do with male/female voice but I have a similar situation. I can only get my voice (when singing) recorded well if I am very very close to the mic so I just have to do that. What I also always do is also to increase the volume of my voice using Garageband.

@Titus Sliffy You can use Adobe Premiere pro for video and Adobe Audition for audio if you don't want to spend too much money on Final cut pro, as Adobe is very similar to Final cut pro with all of the professional editing tools and you can use it on any laptop or desktop or PC unlike Final cut pro which is only for Mac, and it costs less and you pay monthly so you won't have to pay too much at once, and iMovie is very basic so won't recomend that.

Can you plug in a pair of headphones for mic monitoring? Or do you need an interface
@gregtoope4 жыл бұрын
Exile_Reaper would all depend on your recording software. Most recording software can monitor through headphones.

I just receive the mic its sound very good but i have my pc on my desk and it a bit loud with nine fan inside. Because of this we can hear the background noise. Any solution? Nice Video btw!!
@gregtoope4 жыл бұрын
My only thought would be to move the PC or you can get a portable sound booth. I use one when I have to record somewhere else. Can be very useful. amzn.to/38Xtwho

I heard that this microphone for some people is too quiet, was that the case with your experience? I mean did you need to boost the volume in any way?
@gregtoope4 жыл бұрын
Bananovskyy like a lot of mics you need to have it placed properly and you need to play with the audio later to get it exactly where you want it. A little quiet is better as you won’t have any peeking during your recording. But audio levels can be done in most audio software.
@Bananovskyyy4 жыл бұрын
@@gregtoope Yes i know, but apart from recording voiceovers i want to use it for talking over discord/skype and having the mic right up my face covering my entire screen is not the most comfy thing so the mic will be around 8 inches away from my face, which (after some testing) my friend's microphone can handle perfectly because it uses XLR audio interface with phantom +48v, i'm just trying to get some info cause i need yo decide if it's not better for me to pay $30 more and put together the same setup that my friend has - U-Phoria UMC22 + Renkforce AT-100 + Boom arm + pop filter + shock mount because being able to set the gain level seems like a necessary thing for me or at least have the microphone if its USB be a bit too loud at max settings so we can always tune it down. You can't do it when the mic is too quiet right off the bat.

@gregtoope5 жыл бұрын
Charlie Ives I would think that it depends on how loud the keyboard is and the placement of the mic to the keyboard. I have my laptop behind the mic and the fans are almost always going and you can’t hear them at all. Plus you can’t hear my keyboard, but it’s not overly loud. I’ve been very happy with this setup. Especially for the price.
