    Yo man fantastic review. The audio quality sounds way better than just good. It's a frigg'n strong competitor in the game of content creator mics. I purchased 4 of these as I was in a tight deadline situation for a podcast web tv show. And I was not disappointed neither were my clients. We all were amazed at the sound quality. I did do a one click room tone cleaning in premiere pro and that's it. A, this Maono is smaller than the Fifine and Podcast King Sure smb7. With the smaller form factor this mic doesn't cover the subjects mouth and face also the subject doesn't have to get super close to the mic where their lips are about to chew on the mic. I'm creating my sound review of this mic as well. I'd love to send you a link and hear your comments creator2 creator. Thanks for the wonderful channel and positive review. BTW I passed on the Maono C2 Neo as it can accommodate one mic at a time. I ran these 4 Maono mics through my Behringer Mixer and it's delivers broadcast quality. Would definitely recommend this budget mic it got pro broadcast quality. A 1 Sauce.
    Salute TekToyzGaming.

    Does It has Noice Cancellation ?? And Recommended for Noisy Area?

    • @TekToyzGaming
      @TekToyzGaming  9 місяців тому

      It doesn’t have noise cancellation, but has decent off axis noise rejection. If too noisy of a space those sounds will get picked up. If mild like pc fans running nearby then it will reject that noise pretty nicely.

    Great revew! I think the only design fail with the PD200x is the clicky mute button. On another review I saw that configuration is kept through different devices (pc/android), without changing between basic/advance configuration, I guess the configuration is kept unless you switch the configuration mode, but you can try it.

    • @TekToyzGaming
      @TekToyzGaming  Рік тому +1

      Thanks. Agreed, if you use the mute button a lot then it can be annoying, even a deal breaker. A lot of mics have that. Also seems the setting resets only when switching the modes. Best to set it and forget it🤷🏽‍♂️

      PD200x Bro it got way more features and setting and gives a stronger cleaner sound. Not to mention an extremely affordable price tag that delivers broadcast quality audio. Amazon is the way to go if it doesn't deliver what you are expecting then take advantage of the free not question asked Amazon return. You got more to gain with this joint.

      I guess we are both confused about the first question lol.
      Of the 3 mics, the AM8 has the best audio out of box. If you like the way it looks and the size of it, then maybe that’s the way to go. Second place goes to the pd200x, though I may have to make a face-off review for those 2 and truly see.
