A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The PD300X microphone feels very solid and looks really great – it’s really well made!
Setting it up is very easy – you can attach it to a microphone stand or arm and connect whichever cable (USB or XLR) that you wish to use with it.
There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom as well which makes it easy to hear just what the microphone is picking up.
There is a mute button that you can use to quickly mute and unmute and there is a coloured indictor that shows the status. Muting only works with the USB connection though, not if you are using XLR.
There is a 3-in-1 control knob that can be used for a variety of functions, including mic gain, monitor ration adjustment and headphone volume.
Maono Link is a piece of software you can install and use on either Windows or a Mac that enables you to change and tweak various audio settings. It’s worth installing this and playing around with the various settings to get it all perfectly set up for whatever your needs are.
The quality of the mic is excellent – it was very clear speaking into it and it was very easy to use.
The box contains a USB cable – if you want to connect the microphone using XLR then you will need to provide an XLR cable as one isn’t supplied – although you can by the PD300X with an XLR cable as a pack from Moano.
If you are looking for a great microphone for podcasting, streaming or just recording audio, then take a look at this one – you won’t be disappointed.
The MAONO PD300X USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone is available now priced around $119.99. And why not pair it up with the BA37 Microphone Boom Arm.
