That new mic definitely sound better. Especially when its facing the correct way!

I really like how many times you showed the difference in the distance when you're up close to the mic and further away. I'm in the process now of buying a mic to release my first original song on youtube, so thank you for your review on this mic. Thanks so much :)

Thanks for clarifying at the end lol, I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on this one! Thanks for the in-depth comparisons! Especially with the shotgun.

I bought mine in April, I love mine! I use it for gaming, and recording vocals, it is a great quality for the price!

I got this for $70 off of Amazon Canada the other day. I can't wait for it to arrive.

Great video - very explanatory! Definitely sounds better with the Maono. :)

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.

I love this unbiased review on the mic. I searched for many videos but this made me more satisfying and get an idea on buying a studio mic..🔥👍🏻👍🏻

It's funny... The first thing I did when I got mine was take it apart to see if it was a directional mic. I'm glad you went back and caught that later :)

11:56 One thing I've noticed is. You have the foam on the mic, as well as the pop filter next to it. To me, I feel like that's double insulating the sound being received by the mic. Have you tried testing the mic at a longer distance without the foam?

Why would anybody put a thumbs down on this? Nice video amigo. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

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!

thanks a lot! very useful! Especially because of the situation with the wrong-positioned mic. Visual demonstration of the difference

Definitely thinking about buying this package, as an inspiring voice actor this seems like a good set up.

Sounds pretty good. I'm hoping to find one that really helps with commentary over video game footage. The price is pretty appealing too.

Your voice is what makes the maono sound good😍😍🤩🤩😉😉

Thank u such sounds great its coming wensday

Hay Dear i am searching for a voiceover mic from last 3 months please help me i want some changes in my voice i want crispy and clear voice please suggest me a best mic for voiceover i am confuse in blue snowball ice and in this that you are showing

Ive had a Maono mic and its been facing the wrong way this whole time lol, glad i found this video!

I have the same mic, Made a review of it too. Sounds similar to my situation.

Bought this mic last yeah and have never regretted

Thanks for the info, you helped me decide on going for this mic instead of the other one I was looking at.

One of The best review that I have seen.

Bought this for my sons streaming. Great review!

you have amazing production for a channel your size keep at it it'll pay off

Thank you! you almost convinced me buy this mic!

To get the best sound dont use both the wind sock and the pop filter use one or the other. For further away from the mic use just the wind sock. Just bought one. Sounds like a really good mic for the price

One of the best review at the time. Thanks for sharing the review. Was extremely helpful. Like you said the microphone depends on what is the scenario. For Podcast Maono seems like a best choice but shotgun mike is good when doing Vlog. Really found this useful. Thanks a lot.

You solved my query dear... I have been for 3 days looking for comparison between a shotgun ..and a maono AU4 ... I AAM INTO MAKING VIDEOS... so I will go shotgun CM10

Hello. Thank you for this video. I just got this mic but the input volume is very low though the logo is on my side when I am recording. I tried peace software which actually helped but the sound was very distorted and not natural. So any help from your side will be highly appreciated.

Gonna order this mic for my youtube channel voice over... Thanks for review 👍

Dude you really helped me. I was turning it the wrong way like a scmuck :DDD

Funny you mentioned the shotgun mic. You could definitely tell when your voice wasn't projecting in the proper placement, as your levels would fade some.

Thank you very much! your video has been very helpful! greetings from Chile

THANK YOU SO MUCH...!!!! I just bought this mic and I was really confused about the audio, it as goo but very low, turns out I had it the wrong way like you hahaha... now I like it. I feel nice, it looks nice and it does the job. I'm subscribing now.

ty for much for this review especially at the end you helped me make my decision for a starting mic tyvm bro

I have a 16track zoom recorder, I don't use a computer, I just record to an SD card, would this mic be good enough for vocals and direct line recording?

Hopefully sold. As a Christmas gift😂 thx

That was a good review. You sold me this. Thanks! :)

Good sound for the money

Thank you Sir! That was a great review 👍😊

Thanks buddy! Good video 🤩

Thanks for talking me out of this mic. I am not a robot to stand in front.

Hi Chief What canes are you using? Greetings from Wales

Great video! Needed the help with deciding on this mic!

Needs some care, but worth it for sure!

Thank you. It was helpful.

max SPL handling .. loudest sound it can take before it breaks up or clips

I'm bout to buy this kit, but I've two concerns: 1. Does it provide decent quality audio when connected to a Windows laptop. As it doesn't require any phantom power. 2. Can I use it to record vocals and instruments? Thanks.

what about the noise? is that noise coming from the mic or is it just background noise? like if you would record in a quiet room with no fans and stuff does it record some type of noise or is it just a quiet recording? great review btw

Love the color of your interior. What color is that? Dulux AQUAS? Do you use warm color light or pure white to light your room?

Is it good for asmr

is the maono au-pm422 better and thanks for the great video man

love from India :)

I want to buy this for rapping. Is it worth it ? Please reply

Nice review. I just got one of these and then realized i have no idea how to record with my dslr and use this mic at the same time. Are you recording both video and audio directly in software using an hdmi cable to your camera? I really bought it to do voice over work on pre-recorded videos, but i'd like to use my dslr as well. Might be a dumb question.

Hey, great review. Do you know if this mic would be OK for two people sitting next to each other recording a podcast? Thank you

Hey! Can you use this mic as a “plug and play” and record directly into software?? With no interface or anything else?

I'm assuming you're using an iMac and not a MacBook Pro bc of the USB the mic hooks up to. Am I right?

great review!

Do u use Logic Pro x with this mic? I use a MacBook Pro 2020 and it hasn’t worked once doesn’t pop up in input or output I’m not sure this problem is common

Were you able to connect this microphone with your Canon EOS M50 camera? How were you shooting with your camera and this microphone together?

What did you record with the give a clear acoustic without showing the mike? Also, did you mask some noise from a software?

Hey can i plug this directly to my ipad for recording using garageband just using lightning cable to usb adaptor without audio interface?

Are you still using this mic? My concern with the mic kit really is whether the boom arm maintains its form or starts to displace by itself after a bit since the entire kit costs less than half of some boom arms alone

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.

Just got it

Could you please tell me what kind of post-processing you had on your mic? I have two of those - but they're the XLR versions, going into a Beringer interface. They are really good sounding, but I have not yet been able to get that nice throaty, bassy, body to them. Any advice is appreciated!

Hey very nice video! Can you suggest me good software for audio editing and video editing

Can you plug in a pair of headphones for mic monitoring? Or do you need an interface

Would you recommend recording music on this?

I want to buy this mic but not available.

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!!

Great video, i have a question tho is this the raw audio or you did something with software?

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?

Hahahaha thanks for the clarification, the audio was pretty bad with the mic backwards

Which is best to record songs? maono au-a04 or maono au-a03

Styrofoam also helps a lot while using a microphone.

Would you recommend this mic for recording Rap and Ballad songs?

What’s the difference between Mai au ao4 and 192KHZ 24 BIT Maono Au Ao4 mic?

just got one and am having latency issues when i plug in headphones. using with macbook pro 2017. Any ideas on how to sync the sound so there isn't a delay?

my microphone right now is broken and cuts out sometimes while I speak so I bought a new one (the microphone in the video) I'm going to be using it mainly for gaming and discord is that okay or would it get in the way a lot?

Does it gives a neat nd clean output from an acoustic Guitar...pls reply ASAP I m confused wat to buy nd what is great for an acoustic Guitar

Hello sir does it reduce background noises

Does it help to use wind screen and pop filter same time

Wasn't the mic facing the wrong way during the second half of the video?
