i think the usb one sounds better than the xlr
I think I agree with that, especially when you use the Maono software that's included
That may be true in this clip, but just keep in mind that using XLR offloads audio to whatever interface you're using and whatever settings that audio interface has. If you have a really good audio interface and you know exactly what you're doing with it, you can likely get a better result.
I’m gonna get this microphone in the near future, wish me luck 🍀
Good luck! I liked it :D
Thank you for your review and hope you can bring more about maono products
Doing a review on the PD400X in the near future
Nice video, you forgot the provided software when utilizing it via USB though. It features multiple eq options along with a limited and compressor.
Thanks for the info! I'll have to check it out.
@@CpawsMusic anytime, great vid btw 🫂
@@SmokeDaJitt I appreciate ya
I got mine today using it via USB and the mic tweaking software crashes on my mac when I select my mic and had to email them for support already, but otherwise seems like a good mic. Mine didn't smell much at all and I'm highly sensitive to bad chemical smells.
I'm glad yours was good! Yeah it was bizarre, I couldn't really talk into it for the first several hours since it needs to be so close to your mouth since it's a dynamic mic and the smell was too bad to be able to do that so maybe I just got extremely unlucky. But I'm happy yours was good! Hope mine was just a one-off :)
Hello there, may I ask you, between this model And the maono pd400x, Wich would be better in your opinion? Thank you in advance
Hey Tio! I personally have used the PD400X so I can't say for certain. But hopefully you can use my audio test in this video and compare it to a different video's audio test of the PD400X to see if it's a better fit for you
Hi, can I listen metronome while recording with this microphone by its headphone jack!?
I see that you are using pd400x already, which one do you prefer? Pd200x or pd400x?
Pd400x 100%
Can you plug in the usb for lighting but still use the xlr for the audio output?
Not 100% sure on that one sorry fam!
I personally prefer the clipping, it adds character when you rage
🤣
Fifine am8 or this one which is better
I like the am8 better
Thanks for the video! It looks cool! Can I use headphones directly to the microphone if I use XLR?
I believe it's just for the USB option but I could be mistaken
@@CpawsMusicThanks for answer!
XLR mode is SO great! LIKE IT🤭
Thanks for watching!
Great video
If I use PD200x mic with XLR to 1/4 TRS cable to my audio interface, Does this work??? Actually I have Audio Array AI-03............Hope you will reply
Not sure sorry
@@CpawsMusic no problem
The mic seems very low. What mic are you using at the beginning of the video?
Rode NT1A
What is better dynamic microphone or condenser microphone?
Depends on your environment and how loud it is
did you try the Maono PD400X? is this one I just mentioned better in terms of sound?
I haven't gotten a chance to try the PD400X yet, but it should be getting shipped to me within the month hopefully and I'll make a review video on it for everyone
i have noisy environment! people watch netflix and tiktok all the time is this mic capable on those kind of environment?
It's decent since it's a dynamic microphone but you'll still want to try and keep the environment as quiet as possible, I do have a separate video on the channel for removing background noise tho!
can you use it on the ps5
Not sure about that
hhU are amazing! Like it. Thank you! Maybe flip the mic over can see how much gain you have adjusted, like the guide
Flipping it over wouldn't change the fact that you can't tell exactly what it's set at since it's solely based off of brightness instead of a normal dial with measurements, but I appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching
@@CpawsMusic Thank you. I just found they have Maono link can suit this mic. You can try it. How about test PD400X? It's amazing!
@@conradcornelia5386 I'm very looking forward to testing the PD400X within the next month or so! Hoping I can swap it out from my main microphone, but we'll have to wait for the video review and see :)
tank3 vs maono pd 200x
used for voice over who win ?
Haven't used rhe tank3 before
What do you think of Moano pdx 200 regarding noise isolation and sound presence?
l used for voice over
Which is better maono pd200x vs fifine k658?
Haven't used the Fifine in a hot minute so I can't say for certain
Can this mic be used with an XLR - 1/4" cord that plugs into the microphone input of a digital piano?
sorry not sure on that, I'd recommend contacting maono with that question
Hi, can I listen metronome while recording with this microphone by its headphone jack!?
sorry not sure about that :/
1:43 if it has to be directly in front like that, does it block your vision of the screen at all? Looking for a good mic for gaming vids
Nope! I can see fine :D
@@CpawsMusic OK that's reassuring, thanks
I connected my twitch account to obs studio. Do I need to disconnect it to record standard youtube videos?
Nope, you can leave it connected :)
does this mic pick up the background noise a lot or no?
I thought it was manageable, especially if you use a noise suppression filter in obs
which app can be used to record voice? Please recommend
OBS Studio :D
@@CpawsMusic Thank You
It doesnt work when I use via xlr what do you think it is
Not sure about that, I'd recommend contacting Maono
What microphone stand do you use?
This one :D amzn.to/3LjSi0A
@@CpawsMusicThanks!
@@CpawsMusicIs it good?
What stand should I get with it?
amzn.to/48IlbgT
@@CpawsMusicGot anything cheaper in mind? 😅
My USB works well and sounds great. My on my mixer and xlr it does not work almost like it does not power it uo, but my old mic works on it.
@@CpawsMusic not sure. But my old mic works on it just fine just not the maono
I'd recommend sending a quick email to maono support and they should be able to tell ya whats up @@aaroncenteno6691
This mic looks very nice and I would consider buying it.
Heck yeah!
This or the PD100U? Would use both via USB :)
I haven't gotten a chance to use the PD100U, but there is software that you can use to make the USB sound better for both of them that I didn't cover in the video
@@CpawsMusic the app doesn't work on the PD100U, as far as I know.
@@F01L Ahh damn, never mind then
Can you compare Zoom ZDM-1 and Rode Podmic USB/XLR? Zoom and Rode models are Dynamics. I don't know if buy Maono, Rode or Zoom. I have a Zoom recorder.
I don't own the zoom zdm-1 :(
The USB connection seems to be louder compared to when you used your audio interface.
It's definitely possible! The audio interface that I'm using seems to not give a ton of lift to the dynamic mics I end up trying out. I'm using the Yamaha ZG01 Interface for clarification
@@CpawsMusicright use is to rec the mic at -12 or -18 db and push the volume at the end of the effect chain with the compressor output gain, than the ZG01 it's ok.
Hey I have a question in the website it says it connects to ps5 does it really connect to the console?
Not 100% sure on that, I'd recommend emailing them since I don't own a ps5 haha
Would it work on Xbox?
Not 100% sure on that :/
If u want the cute little ghost buddy to stick have you considered to use double sided sticky tape?
That's a great idea! Good call! 😂
the usb part stops working after like a month or 2 so you have to switch to xlr
Mine still works
@@CpawsMusic mines broke so xlr was my only option, mic still going strong tho
Im going to get this!
Heck yeah!
You should also test their other new microphone the Maono DM20, Great video btw!
The next one I'm getting is the PD400X but I might cover that one in the future :)
@@CpawsMusic oh heck yeah you got yourself a new subscriber :)
@@Bloomare Much love!
@@CpawsMusic The PD400X is fantastic. So is the XLR-only PD100. This company is doing some seriously impressive stuff!
What bloom arm is that?
its this one: amzn.to/3G7zpf6
What’s your microphone
I'm using the rode nt1a in that video :D
In the box 0:36
Sound test XLR 1:40
Sound Test USB 3:00
Thanks!
This or fifine am8?
I'd probably do AM8 personally, but lowkey I'd save up for the pd400x instead for the quality, i also have a video on that as well
@CpawsMusic so the am8 is better audiowise? (if I understood it correctly) how about in terms of build ?
@@CpawsMusic as I dislike putting on that pop filter on the pd400x, and the fact that it costs twice as much, makes it not an option right now.
Aside from the pd200x and am8, what other mic can you recommend within that price range?
@CpawsMusic oh ! I forgot, I also want to use it with my phone aswell. Can you do that with the am8? As per what I heard you can use the pd 200x with mobile
@@F01L I'm actually not sure on that for either tbh
i currently have the pd400x and it is SUPER sensitive to noise, it picked up on every keyboard click and mouse click and even my fan. does the pd200x have any kind of built in noice suppression or something like that?
Not sure about that, but I currently use the PD400X, but I also use a noise suppression filter in OBS and that fixes that issue
Make sure your gain is set up properly. And if you're using the compressor on the software, it could be boosting up the background sound to an audible level. So be sure to set the compressor correctly too. Cause a compressor reduces the dynamic range of the sound, which means it will make low sounds and high sounds relatively the same level, so that there are no drastic changes in the audio. So it could be that the compressor is boosting the "not so audible" sounds to a level where you can hear it.
Got the mic, used it via USB killed Windows, tried it on PC 2 killed Windows. Replaced the USB cable (seems to fix it) Then Installed Maono software (seems to work ok) OBS can see the mic but has no input, same for Windows.
Nightmare of a product!
Update - Mano software isn't licensed with windows and had a lot of odd code on the installer so avoided it.
most AV software is also very unhappy with it.
Yikes! Sorry to hear that! I actually switched to the Maono PD400X and couldn't be happier! I use it for all my UA-cam videos and streams now :) Here's my review of it: ua-cam.com/video/9wQKhU3oVaM/v-deo.html
It could be because they have their own software base so it's more relying on the software
Very fair! I like the software for the pd400x
Buddy threw the box to his self 😂🤣😂
🤣
those are silica balls and they don't cause the smell hahahah it's just glass dude!
😂 must've been something else then haha
Surprisingly sounds better on USB🧐
😄
great microphone, the gain is lousy though
I feel that
cool
pov: u live in ohio near the train :)
my heart goes out to you fam
sounds worse than Berringer C1 (XLR version), witch is even cheaper
I'll have to check that one out. Thanks for the suggestion :)
@@CpawsMusic sure) I think you have to compare both of them, the difference is easy to hear. BTW I even use Behringer for commercial ads voiceovers for small business.
@@Andredy89 For sure! If I ever get my hands on one then I'll have to do a video on it :D
@Boyarske you do know condenser mics produce more detailed sound vs dynamic mics right? It's just more susceptible to background noise compared to dynamic mics.
Hi, can I listen metronome while recording with this microphone by its headphone jack!?
sorry not sure about that :/
