[@tirupatirao7521]

I have never used any mic, i was creating very first youtube videos. when i tried with head phone mic it’s so worst even after trying with so many presets. I order this mic setup in amazon, reveived next day evening. After completing 5 minute quick setup started my recording, beleeive me as first time user i was so amazed the quality voice it’s producing with no presets and editing. wow amazing product at lowest price. please go for it without any 2nd thought with this multitudal purposal mic

[@PratapPadhi]

Is this mic required a sound card? because I have a little latency issue in recording. I have purchased a M Audio SOLO sound card, but the cable is not supported. Please suggest.

[@techhive6569]

No, it’s a USB mic. It doesn’t require a separate sound card

[@prernasarin9207]

After connecting it through USB OTG for Mobile phones, as you suggested in the other comments, we can simply record through the sound recorder in our phone right? Or are we supposed to download any application? As it is required for laptops (like Audacity etc)

[@techhive6569]

Yes you can use built in recorder software or any third party software

[@structurestutor5561]

I dont know hindi... please reply in English. I am living next to temple so if I try to record the audio using boya mic m1 which picks up noises such as temple bell, bike horn, but not all other noise. Could you please suggest which microphone is best for my situation... I am planning to buy mano au a04h but does this mic really has good cancellation what if i use this mic in obs studio to record audio does the mic really eliminate all other noises??

[@techhive6569]

It doesn’t exactly cancel all noises. But records less noise as it records well only around the front of the mic.( you can see the section of my video where I am doing sound tests) But compared to your current boya mic. It will perform much better.

[@krutibanasode3399]

Hi I have this mic and also have purchased audio interface can you suggest me how to connect it?

[@techhive6569]

This one is a USB mic..Your audio interface device must be having XLR port..you'll probably need a USB to Xlr adapter

[@RetheeshXavier]

Which maona condenser microphone is right for male singers especially Bass voice...?

[@techhive6569]

There are no different version of Maono for Different types of frequencies. But as per my understanding condenser mics are more suitable for high frequencies..and dynamic mics are suitable for low frequencies. So you can go for a dynamic mix by some other manufacturers

[@anujdeshmukh]

Can we use this to record songs on I pad?

[@techhive6569]

Yes..but you'll need USB A to lightning adapter..

[@sushantlagare1767]

I am going to use mic for singing with guitar is this suitable?? I am confused with this and fifine. Please which mic should I buy with model?

[@techhive6569]

Though this is an entry level mic. Its is good for Music. I have seen some musicians using this. Fifine is almost the same as this. But I recommend Maono since I have seen better reviews of it.

Gain knob only

[@divyakotak8637]

Is this just good for voice overs? Or good for singing purpose too?

[@techhive6569]

Yes, I have seen some singers using it. It's good for beginners.

[@danielthegeek4582]

How do Maono mics, specifically the 421 or 422 compare to the Sudotack ST800?

[@techhive6569]

I guess Sudotack is not available in India directly so unfortunately cannot test it. But looking at the price and reviews. I can say that Maono looks like a budget equivalent of Sudotack in India. But given a choice I would still go for 421 or 422 as it's readily available in India and the whole package looks bang for my buck

[@raghudev6544]

PM 422 not available in India ? what is the use of the headphone jack they provide for 422.. is it worth waiting for it or can I go for 421

[@techhive6569]

Yes, looks like PM 422 is not available in India yet. I am hoping it will be in due time. You can use the headphone to monitor your sound levels directly from the mic. But same can be achieved without it also. I suggest you can go with 421 and no need to wait for 422. Doesn't make much of a difference.

[@raghudev6544]

@@techhive6569 Sure, Thank you for the Quick response and making this video :)

[@VenkyBeast]

Btw aapka awaz clipping kyu nahi horaha hai? I also got same one and it clips every loud voice, I mean, it's not even loud, anything above normal clips and distorts but aapki awaz toh ek dam clear hai, In audacity, I notice a clamping of wave Just so yall know, Mic Gain Knob provided in this mic is not input sensitivity, it's nothing but just an amplifier, It's really trash, I don't get why they even added it to mic, when it can be done easily post processing without being destructive! I recommend yall keeping them mic again just about half or anywhere between half & full...then do whatever amplifying you want in audio editing software, instead of actual mic itself!

[@RohitKumar-pm6ej]

Fifine T683 vs maona pm421....which one is better for KZbin and also singing....
