Maono AU-PM422 USB Condenser Microphone

Professional USB Condenser Microphone 192 kHz/24-bit

The Maono AU-PM422 is a USB-powered condenser microphone built around a 16 mm electret transducer and a professional sound chipset that samples at 192 kHz/24-bit. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. The microphone suits musicians, gamers, streamers, podcasters and other content creators who need studio-quality articulation in a desktop form factor.

Included Boom Arm Pop Filter Shock Mount

The package supplies a boom arm, pop filter, shock mount and USB cable so the microphone can be positioned, protected from plosives, isolated from vibration and connected without extra purchases. A 3.5 mm headphone jack on the body enables zero-latency monitoring for real-time recording and overdubbing. Touch-key mute with a green/red LED indicator and a dedicated gain knob let you control level and status instantly.

Check USB Port Availability

The microphone draws power from a USB port, so a free port on the computer is required. The assembled dimensions reach 35 x 35 x 20 centimetres and the unit weighs 1.588 kilograms, so verify that your desk can accommodate the boom arm footprint. Headphones with a 3.5 mm plug are needed to use the direct monitoring feature. Buyers who need wireless operation or a different polar pattern should look elsewhere.
