5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING THE MAONO AU-PM422 (UNBOXING & REVIEW)

[@DanboxingPH]

I recently learned how to make affiliate links!!! Let’s try it out 😂 LAZADA link: invol.co/cl4u9je Thank you 📦

[@luciddre4m]

Was about to buy the PM421 but with the additional headphone jack, the extra $8 for the PM422 is a no brainer. Thanks!

[@DanboxingPH]

Good call! Hahaha

[@DavidReyes0224]

So, noob to microphones here... For the headphone jack, does it only play your voice back to you? Or can you have all your PC audio play through it for playing games and what not?

[@DanboxingPH]

You’ll hear everything. Your voice and all that’s playing in your computer.

[@GamingProfessorSoumik]

@@DanboxingPH what if I use a USB headphone which is already connected to the PC, will that cause any issue because even this headphone has its own mic?

[@mytake539]

Fantastic review 🎉. Thanks. Bro, which is the best audio app for editing the content from this mic. And also the best audio app for android phones. Highly appreciated 👍

Really nice video quality dude! but maybe try to talk softly, cause you kinda sound mad or smthng😅, the head bopping is also slightly bothering. But overall this review is hands down very informative! good luck on your yt journey!!

I'm stucked please help me maono au 903 or maono pm422 or fifine k678 or fifine k690 which is the best for singing??

[@DanboxingPH]

Haven’t tried the Fifine. Between the two Maonos, I’d recommend the PM422. Cleaner and clearer recording.

[@bonbonwunderbar8281]

Thanks for this informative video! :) I also bought one yesterday but whenever I record or when I start playback, there are crackling/popping sounds. I’m not sure if it’s a mic, USB connector or laptop incompatibility issue. Not sure how to resolve, hope you can help me.

[@DanboxingPH]

Just keep pushing, man! As you go, you’d realize it only gets better time after time. I use my iPad to produce all my videos, so it’s an app - LumaFusion. For the camera, not necessarily super amazing camera. I use an entry level camera at first. In this video, I was using that entry level camera. Just make sure you’d do the due diligence to study how to use your gear. After all, the process is super fun ☺️ Yeah, sure. Collab soon!

Nako, I haven’t tried the A04. But between the 903 and PM422, PM422 is the way to go 🎙

[@XavierEstallo]

Sup bro. Question, have u done any post editing in garage band? I'm planning on getting this kase for live streaming, so i need good audio real time. Thoughts? Considering my needs, would you recommend this?

[@DanboxingPH]

PM422 for sure 🔥🔥🔥

[@danielthegeek4582]

This might seem like a stupid question, but I’m pretty new to this… if I had the headphones connected to the mic to monitor my own voice, how would I hear a Skype call for recording a podcast? Is it possible to hear all participants as well as my own voice, or is this simply for monitoring my myself? I’m wondering if I’d be better saving £10 and buying the PM421 which doesn’t have the headphone Jack. Thanks!

[@DanboxingPH]

Nope. You’ll hear your voice, your calls, and even if you have music playing in your computer.

Late but the 422 has a 3.5mm headphone jack, the 421 does not but both mic internals are identical.

[@jerrymiecope3691]

Is it good for recording vocals and instrument at the same time?

[@DanboxingPH]

YUP! I tried it also. However, I’m not proud of my singing voice HAHAHA

[@nishan.7]

Hi there, very well detailed review. Thanks a lot. I have one question. I want the mic for singing and video making purposes. Will it be the best mic in 5.5K? And Is this good enough to record my vocals and guitar at the same time..!..I am very much confused. Please reply asap. :) And one last question..can I mount this mic on the small laptop tables that we use on bed!

[@DanboxingPH]

Hello! Thanks for watching. This could be one of the best options for that price range. However, recording both vocals and guitar might not be the usage for this mic. For vocals alone, it’s great. Then you might want to line-in your instrument for better production quality.

[@JoeMischiefGXC]

Hey fella. Looks like a great piece of kit for the price. Not sure I'd swap out my Rode Podcaster, but if I hadn't purchased yet you make a great case for this. At the price point is tricky to argue. Sound comparisons are always tough. Slight fluctuations in your voice between takes with each mic can be deceptive, but you did a fine job of replicating the same audio each time. Short of recording simultaneously and having each mic plugged into identical kit with identical settings it's difficult to replicate things perfectly...

[@DanboxingPH]

Thanks, man! 🎙🔥👌🏽

[@briannedc2514]

which is better for vocals, this or au 903

@@DanboxingPH appreciated the quick response. :) but what is the main advantage why you'd chose this over the other?

[@DanboxingPH]

SOUND QUALITY! 😊 PM422 has better noise reduction than the AU903. And also, richer midtones. Medyo bassy kasi si AU903 for me. Also, accessories that comes with it (boom arm, pop shield, etc.)

[@1DERLEI]

Thanks so much!! Glad i've came across your review. 'Coz initially, the au903 was the one in my cart due to its minimalist profile and usb-c connection. I hate the arm stands LOL but it has the better SQ. So that closed the deal.

[@LK-fv2nj]

Great video! What ipad model are you using and how did you connect it? I’m planning to get this to hook up to my iPad pro 2018 with an usb c to digital av connector would you know if that’ll work? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Julia. Hahaha this microphone, in my opinion, has noise reduction already. Try to hear the difference between this and the AU-903. Especially with the windscreen cap, it really helps lessen the noise. But then again, it depends on how loud the singing is hahaha For your second question, I didn’t do any editing at all.
