Built for Podcasting and Streaming

The MAONO PD100 is an XLR dynamic microphone with a 600 ohm impedance and 78 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Its cardioid pickup pattern and internal double-layer pop filter reduce plosives while keeping the voice front and centre. A compact metal body and included desktop stand with a 2.36 inch rod extender make it ready for a home studio or portable setup.

Suited for Solo Voice Work

This microphone targets podcasters, streamers and content creators who record one voice at a time and already own an audio interface, mixer or sound card with an XLR input. It is not for buyers who need a USB connection, on-board gain control or a microphone that captures multiple people around a table.

The Deciding Spec Is 600 Ohm Impedance

At 600 ohm the PD100 expects a preamp that can drive a medium-impedance dynamic capsule cleanly. If your interface or mixer provides enough clean gain for that load, the microphone will deliver its rated 78 dB SNR and 60-14 kHz response. If the preamp is weaker, the signal will be too quiet or noisy.

Questions about this item

Will the XLR connector or 600 ohm impedance ever need servicing?

The XLR connector is a standard metal plug rated for thousands of insertions, and the 600 ohm dynamic capsule has no phantom-power circuitry to degrade, so neither item normally requires replacement.

What limits continuous recording sessions with this cardioid dynamic mic?

The 78 dB signal-to-noise ratio sets the practical noise floor, and the built-in double-layer pop filter controls plosives up to typical broadcast levels before external processing is needed.

How much heat or noise does the all-metal PD100 produce after hours of streaming?

As a passive dynamic microphone it generates no self-heat and adds zero electronic noise, while the metal body simply sits at room temperature during all-day use.
