The Maono PD200W Hybrid Podcasting Microphone proves you don’t need to choose between wireless freedom and professional audio quality – finally, a microphone that goes wherever your creativity takes you, without sounding like you’re recording or speaking from inside a tunnel.
Out of the box, just plug the Maono into your computer, smartphone, or tablet, using the supplied cables (I used USB-C for all of my connections), or you can use the included USB-C wireless dongle to connect to computers, smartphones, or tablets – the choice is yours. If you use the wireless option, you can connect a second microphone to your video source to 2-person podcast or interviews. Desktop software offers additional control. The included stand is sturdy and robust. The built-in shock guard is extremely helpful, as are the headphone and gain controls physically on the mic. Bottom line – go wired or wireless – the choice is yours. And the sound quality is fantastic!
