@@marymagdalineflores9909The PD100 has a slight edge in sound quality, and you can use it in XLR mode. But it will require an audio interface. The DGM20 is the best at active noise cancellation, which the PD100 does not have.
Amazing review, thanks Dave! Keyboard and table 'noises' didn't get rejected much though, otherwise other noises are canceled. Not sure if important to other viewers or you, would it be possible to test the pick-up pattern of the microphones, at least for future videos?
HI ER! Great to see you again! What kind of test would we have for the pickup pattern? Do you mean how much it captures sound from all sides, so perhaps rotating the microphone while having a constant sound?
I had this micrphone right now, just do some enhancement on the mic using any software that you could use, it makes it much more better recording quality. btw, im using this mic with banana voice meeter, and it sounds great with some enhancement.
@@IndianSigma ruclips.net/video/UwlXxtGRLZc/видео.htmlsi=EasClxu9FFxv8cxj ------- just watch this, he has a preset of enhanced mic in voice meeter banana, thats what i used. but right now I have maono pd200x...
Fantastic review! I was thinking of getting this exact same mic for recording, but i saw some reviews about it being great for its price point only thing was that it wasnt as good for recording. I would like to hear your opinion as if this would be a great microphone for someone who just started.
Excellent review! Truly in depth. How does it perform with background noise full of vehicle noise and horns? Wondering as the place I wanna record in is on the main road and my place doesn’t have any sound proofing. Please suggest.
Hi Bro, I hope you can suggest me something better. I have a lot of background noise like neighbours talking, dogs barking. What could be the best option for me? Condenser mic or dynamic? I was hoping to buy DM20S
@shubhendupl yes it does but not those which are too loud. You can set the gain. If someone talking normal outside your room the mic cancls it but it do effect the audio quality a bit. Also what are you using it for? If for ganingit will catch the keyboards clicky sound and also if you tap your table it creats a boom sound if mic is mounted to table.
@@DaveSoltura I just watched all your reviews for the A8 Plus, A6V, and the DGM20. I've decided to go with the A6V. Thank you for your insights! Subscribed!
If that's the main use case, I wouldn't recommend it. The gold standard for audio books is the Sennheiser MKH416. There are other options, but they would all, like the Sennheiser, require a professionally treated booth.
Might be a weird question, but has anyone tested them in areas near airports? For context, you could hear landing and taking off planes, and they are so loud that you can no longer hear whatever you’re watching.
Looks just like a mic I have that isn't branded as Maono. In fact, it has no branding on it. It also doesn't have noise cancelling. Hmm... But not a bad option! 👏🏼
hey man, i understand this is more for gaming and podcasts, but what would you recommend for singing? what I'm trying to find is a noise cancelling microphone like this one that's geared more towards musicians who just want to record vocals and such, and no instruments. I have a fifine k683a and it has a pretty good sound quality but it captures quite a bit of room noise, the fans etc. and also, people who are yelling 30 feet away also get captured in my recordings. got anything in mind?
What did you think of the noise cancelling? 🧐
what do u think is better? this DGM20 or the maono pd100? idk what to buy

@@DaveSolturawhat is better the maono DGM20 or the fifine a6v
I just watched about 15 reviews of this mic and this was by far the best. Appreciate all the tests with various conditions, distances, etc.
Thank you for the kind words. :)
So you bought this mic or not?
@@IndianSigma I did
@@NJJRS how's the experience?
What's the difference between dgm 20 or dm 20 ?
very interesting feature. Not very many of this kind in this price point! thanks for bringing this to our attention Dave!
It’s bonkers for the price, Vince!

Yup, exactly, that would definitely help! Pretty quick 10-15 second test.

Can you please share your settings?

Share your settings. I just got one.
Im trying to decide if i should buy the DGM20 or the PD400x. I don't have an audio interfacd.
Nice review. Would love to see a comparison video with Fifine ampligame a8.
If you knew the a8 plus has the same capsule as the a8 (thereby have the same sound quality), would you watch a DGM20 vs A8 plus video? :)
i have never enjoyed a tech review video this much u have done a great job perfect review video
Thank you for the kind words!!
Thank you so much, mine is coming Wednesday
how is it so far?
i love your method of testing

I would agree that it’s not as good for recording, but it does the job!
@ thank you!

Maybe that deserves a video of its own. :) Curious to find out, myself!
the review really helped me out now i now for sure im going to buy it and i also just subbed
Thanks so much! Enjoy your new mic!
Hi! Im wondering how it works with a fan on the side 🤔
bro this sounds so good,I might just have to buy this. Would you buy the zealsound usb mic or this?
If they send a mic, I’ll look into it! So far though, the DGM20 is insane quality for the price.
Any voice distortions with the noise cancellation on?
So can you hear game audio through the jack in front or just voice monitor
Hi Bro, I hope you can suggest me something better. I have a lot of background noise like neighbours talking, dogs barking. What could be the best option for me? Condenser mic or dynamic? I was hoping to buy DM20S
The mic in this video has an amazing noise cancellation feature even if it’s a condenser!
@@DaveSoltura thank you bro. I bought this mic but I don't have guts to speak on mic lol
@@TheInformative0Did you try it? Does it reject barking or outside voices? Thanks.
@shubhendupl yes it does but not those which are too loud. You can set the gain. If someone talking normal outside your room the mic cancls it but it do effect the audio quality a bit. Also what are you using it for? If for ganingit will catch the keyboards clicky sound and also if you tap your table it creats a boom sound if mic is mounted to table.
bro if we off mic any indication light shown
Yes. The light on the front of the mic turns red when muted.
Hi @DaveSoltura I bought same mic but my audio does not sound like you can you please share your setting
do you think that this mic would be compatible for podcasting?
It’s okay, but I’d prefer the AM8 for that use case, if budget is a concern
What if we put iPhone’s cable in the mic’s port and lighting to iPhone will it work?
Have you tried fifine a6v? which is better?
For raw audio quality, I like the A6v just a little bit more. But the dgm20 has noise canceling, which is super helpful!
@@DaveSoltura in this video, did u used raw audio? or with like filters?
@@zxcjay raw!
Sorry, I meant it’s slightly boosted, but that doesn’t affect the sound to expect. My room is heavily treated, though.

Seiren mini vs dgm 20?
what a great review.
I purchased this but for some reason the my voice blasts. not sure how to explain.
mine just arrived today and i can still hear the noise loudly even with the noise canceling features.. help me pls
Bought mine. Tried to use it but it mutes itself automatically . Im not even touching the mute button. Any fix for this one?
Please contact Maono support for this.
It didn't even eliminate typing noise. Then what's the point of noise cancellation 😢
I’ll let Maono know about this pain point!
How loud are you typing?
Some keyboards are literally as loud as you talking
How?I tried recording my keyboard sound but it doesnt even detected
Should I get this for recording audio books
If that's the main use case, I wouldn't recommend it. The gold standard for audio books is the Sennheiser MKH416. There are other options, but they would all, like the Sennheiser, require a professionally treated booth.

Mine doesn't work, with the NC on, my friends can still hear the Tv 6 feet away from the mic
Nice and funny video 😂 👏👏

Interesting! I wonder how it sounds?🤔
I guess the noise cancelling is on a software level? Can you use it without the software installed?
@@bl4ckr4bbit It’s hardware level! No software required.

You should do amazing voice acting
