Maono PD400X

There is Nothing to say much, its a very good mic, especially for its features and the price compared to Shures MV7. The sound is very good, it has that fine warmth, although the sound rejection for live use is not that good, and it is a little bit gain hungry on the XLR port to get it to that hot signal levels in the mixer. The screw which holds the mic to the classic mic stand is also a bit weird design which is not really tight, and the mic wants to turn sometimes. But overall, for the price, this is a beast.

There are few USB dynamic microphones which combine the features, build quaility, and sound quality in this price range as the Maono PD400X. It is not easy to find, but it is well worth the effort to acquire one. The solid build quality and classic design are very appealing, and the addition of the Maono sound processing software makes it a worthy competitor to many other dynamic microphones which are only to be found in a higher price bracket.
