What the kit includes

The MAONO AU-PM320S is an XLR condenser microphone kit built for streamers, podcasters, singers and voice-over artists who want studio-style capture at home. A 16 mm large-diaphragm capsule delivers extended frequency response and high SPL handling for vocals and instruments. The cardioid pattern focuses on sound in front of the mic while rejecting room noise. A shock mount, pop filter and 98 in XLR cable are bundled for immediate use.

What your setup must provide

This microphone requires 48 V phantom power from an audio interface, mixer or dedicated preamp; it will not work when plugged directly into a computer or USB port. Verify that your interface supplies standard 48 V phantom power on its XLR inputs before ordering. You also need a free XLR input channel and a mic stand or boom arm to mount the included shock mount.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive condenser design, the microphone draws only the phantom power current supplied by your interface and generates no measurable heat during operation. Self-noise is kept low by the cardioid capsule and the supplied shock mount, which isolates the capsule from desk vibrations and handling sounds. The 98 in balanced XLR cable helps reject electrical interference for a clean signal chain.

Questions about this item

Does the MAONO AU-PM320S kit include the 48V phantom power supply or audio interface I need to operate the XLR microphone?

No, the microphone requires an external 48V phantom power source, audio interface, mixer or preamp which must be purchased separately.

Which capsule size does the AU-PM320S use and how does it affect the sound?

It uses a 16 mm condenser capsule with a low-mass diaphragm for extended frequency response, superior transient response and high SPL handling.

How does the 98 in XLR cable and cardioid pattern perform in a typical home studio?

The pro-grade 98 in male-to-female XLR cable and cardioid pickup reduce surrounding noise and vibration for an immersive recording experience.
