MAONO XLR Condenser Microphone Set AU-PM320S Professional Cardioid Vocal Studio Recording Mic for Streaming, Voice Over, ASMR, Home-studio

The media could not be loaded. I was very impressed with the audio quality from this microphone as well as the build quality of the mic, the solid metal construction makes it very nice to handle and feel like a quality product. I would very happily pay £70 for the microphone without any of the accessories so they are an added bonus! The fact that a shock mount, boom arm, pop filter and XLR cable are included makes it even easier for me to recommend this product. This kit includes everything needed to start recording with the microphone (apart from phantom power) meaning it's very easy and quick to get started recording without any hassle.If I was to pick something which could be improved it would be the quality of the shock mount and the boom arm. It's absolutely fine for people like me who leave the microphone in one place all the time but for those who like to move it around quite a lot it doesn't feel to be the highest quality. The microphone is held tightly into place with no risk of falling out, however it is a bit wobbly even when tightened as much as possible. If this was a problem for you, higher quality ones can be bought off Amazon for not a lot of money so you still won’t have spent too much money.Despite this slight issue with the mount and arm, I’m still rating this product five stars as I see all the accessories as an added bonus and definitely good enough for most people who will be buying this kit. The main product here is of course the microphone itself and that is an excellent quality product. I’m very happy with this kit and will be using it in most of my YouTube videos from now on. It is a massive upgrade compared to the audio I have been using from my camera’s internal mics.I definitely recommend this product.

Very good quality better than the cheaper ones I tried

Inside the box, you have a great deal of contents:- AU-PM320S- Boom Arm & Desk Clamp- Shock Mount- Pop Filter- Wind Sock- XLR CableThe PM320S sports an all-metal constructed design, but doesn't doesn't have any LED indicators on the body. Whilst the design isn't groundbreaking, it's still an aesthetically pleasing look, and the brushed black metal gives off a nice premium feel, with a good amount of heft to it when held.Setting up the PM320S is straightforward, clamping the boom arm to your desk,, screwing the shock mount, then sliding in the mic then opting for either the wind sock or pop filter. As the PM320S is an XLR microphone, you're going to need either an audio interface or mixer in order to use it, and if neither of them produce 48V of phantom power, then you're going to need to pick up a 48V Phantom Power Supply adapter too.Whilst the mic wont blow your mind if you're already using some of the big brand mics, if you're venturing into XLR territory for the fist time, the PM320S is an absolutely fantastic mic, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better value solution.

Although this requires a source of phantom power (48v) the microphone is "plug and play" - I used my ZMX-52 mixer to provide phantom power and left all the settings as default.The microphone is solid and well made with a metal body, has a metal locking XLR connector on it and styled very nicely. The boom arm is approximately 38cm for each arm, fully extended the microphone is about 80cm from the mount point (the shock mount adds a little extra to the reach). The shock mount is very study, strong metal clips hold the microphone and prevent any movement. It's supplied with both a foam wind shield and a mesh pop filter, i found the both did an amazing job reducing vocal "pops" almost totally. It's a very impressive kit for the price, well built, sounds amazing and very easy to use.

After having the chance to try this microphone out I was blown away by the clarity of the sound that it produced. the tone of the microphone is great with a pretty flat and neutral frequency response which is great for mixing, there is also little to none background noise and no hum which is brilliant and allows you to record really quiet sections of audio. This microphone honestly feels more like using a pro-grade studio microphone for a fraction of the cost and is a very good investment to anyone looking for a new microphone.

Quality of microphone surpassed expectations, but the boom arm supplied is not of such good quality. Metal on the part where the microphone holder is attached sheared off so it did not hold it securely. Fortunately I was able to modify it a bit and all is good now.

Bought this for a home studio to start learning how to record vocals. It was okay for one session, now it's just pure white noise. Not background or hiss, preamp has blown I imagine. Cheap quality.

I thought this product offered excellent value for money. It arrived earlier than expected and looks excellent.The book arm is strong and holds position well. Unfortunately the microphone doesn't work so it has to go back. This is a great pity as the rest of the kit is really good.
