What this microphone is

The Maono PD100 is an XLR dynamic microphone built for podcasting, streaming, vocal recording and content creation. It uses a cardioid polar pattern to focus on sound from the front while rejecting off-axis noise. A full metal body, integrated double-layer pop filter and a heavy round base provide stability and reduce vibration. The package includes a 6.56 ft XLR cable, a 2.36 inch rod extender and a user guide.

Who it suits and who it does not

The cardioid pickup and XLR output suit solo speakers who connect to an audio interface, mixer or sound card. It is not for users who need a USB microphone that plugs directly into a computer without extra hardware. Buyers who require multiple polar patterns, a built-in gain knob or wireless operation should look elsewhere. The desktop stand limits placement compared with a boom arm.

The specification that decides fit

The microphone uses an XLR connector and requires an external interface or mixer with a preamp to function. Confirm your recording chain provides an XLR input before purchasing. Frequency response is 60-14kHz and weight is .93 kg. Dimensions are 4 x 4 x 8.86 inches.

Questions about this item

Will the 6.56 ft XLR cable need replacing for longer runs?

The included cable is 6.56 ft long; for greater distances you can swap in any standard XLR cable of the required length.

At what frequency does the 14 kHz upper limit start to roll off?

The frequency response is rated 60-14 kHz, so content above 14 kHz will be attenuated by the capsule itself.

Does the all-metal body get hot during all-day streaming?

The microphone is passive and draws no power, so the full-metal housing stays at room temperature even after hours of continuous use.
