    11:56 One thing I've noticed is. You have the foam on the mic, as well as the pop filter next to it. To me, I feel like that's double insulating the sound being received by the mic. Have you tried testing the mic at a longer distance without the foam?

    • @vipulsinghal3456
      @vipulsinghal3456 4 года назад +7

      That is correct. It is usually advised that for podcasts ,you only use the foam and for vocals, you use only the pop filter . Using both will actually impede the proper input

    @CupidGaming522 3 года назад +2

    I'm not an audio guy much too but I know some people who are and this is definitely a good mic itself (when talking into the right side) but the shock mount and arm stand are not really the best so when you can it's best to upgrade to something like the RODE PSA1 and get a good shock mount. When testing if you move the arm or anything while recording or live or whatever it picks it up but definitely I am going to keep the mic.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  3 года назад

      forsure. for me once the arm is in place it never moves during recording. but yes a better arm would be great. but that arm costs as much as this whole kit. For the price this is a fantastic way to start.

    Great unboxing and review video. Like you discovered the new Maono mic is really for AUDIO perfection because it's made for RADIO/PODCAST style broadcasting. I used to be an old school radio anchor and these types of mics were the only ones we used in-studio, and the producers MADE CERTAIN you spoke RIGHT INTO the mic as you discovered. That is really what they are built to do as the name applies it's a PODCAST mic not really for making videos. However, as time went by even us radio jocks wanted to also be on camera on social media so we would just have a camera record us from a side view or angled higher than the person speaking into the Maono style mic so you can actually SEE and HEAR them really well. Again, very awesome review thanks for that. Expecting my Maono A04H in about 24 hours so this review helped me figure out what to expect. Thanks!

    @Manicca 4 года назад +2

    Hello, this mic (Tho the Au3 version) seems to work well for males - but bad for females?
    It hardly picks up my voice, it's very low sound, even with the correct setup (Facing branding etc).
    I've seen no video from a female rating this mic set, and I frankly hardly find any females at all rating mics...
    So I am suspecting it's the audio range is made for the male spectrum of tones rather than female. :(
    I just can not get a good sound out of it, whatever I do. It's always too low and can hardly even be heard AT ALL unless I base my voice or shout.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  4 года назад +1

      I really don’t think that is the case as my wife has used this mic numerous times and it has worked perfectly fine. We will be doing another review of this mic shortly and I will see if I can get her to come use it so that you can see how it works with a female voice.

    • @rosbelstacy8422
      @rosbelstacy8422 4 года назад

      Agree! Not sure if it has something to do with male/female voice but I have a similar situation. I can only get my voice (when singing) recorded well if I am very very close to the mic so I just have to do that. What I also always do is also to increase the volume of my voice using Garageband.

    1. Does it provide decent quality audio when connected to a Windows laptop. As it doesn't require any phantom power.
    2. Can I use it to record vocals and instruments?
    Thanks.

    • @gregtoope
      @gregtoope  5 лет назад +1

      The mic is USB powered so no Phantom power. Quality of the audio should be good as it is direct from mic through your USB port, so you get good digital sound. And vocals should come through nice, not sure about instruments, but I would think that it should come through great. Just watch your recording levels

    • @gregtoope

      YoMonkey37 shouldn’t be any. But if you plug into a USB 3 port you should get fast data flow. So no latency.

      Erik Hiebert it’s definitely not the highest quality boom stand out there. But I’m still using it and have no issues. I don’t use it all the time. But definitely use it when I bring my laptop out. The fans on the laptop are loud so this mic setup definitely helps.
