Maono Au-A04 Condenser USB Microphone Kit (White)

I don't want to startle you this one is same as AU-A04. I know you're reading this because you are interested in AU-A04 but this review is for AU-A03. I have also researched both models and concluded that both models are exactly same from inside also outside expect the cable interface. Yeah, that's right. A04 is newer model which uses USB as input where A03 uses 3.5mm. But of course it's gonna improve its quality, right? No, actually. The sound quality doesn't matter on the what interface the mic is using. It's in the instruments what was used. I've checked multiple times. Both mics have same configuration: A04- Microphone-core: Dia.16mm Condenser Polar Pattern: Cardioid Frequency Response: 30Hz-16kHz Sampling Rate: 192kHz/24bit Sensitivity: -38dB+/-3dB (0dB=1V/Pa at 1kHz) A03- same as A04, believe me! (or research yourself) So, It won't make difference even it's not USB. The sound input will be the same. Then why the price is double? It's simple. A04 is latest model and people just overrated it; hence the price rise. Now which one you should choose? I've been using this mic for some days now. I must say the designers didn't compromise on anything. The stand kit is full metal, even mic body. Also, the sound quality is really good for a beginner with a condenser mic, but not 10k like quality. Remember whatever you do there will a constant noise (generated by the components inside, not background noise). So don't think your mic is broken because I've tested that with replacements. I can't provide you technicals coz I'm not 'microphone nerd' but I can say that you will get zero noise when noise reduction is on. If you record your voice and apply noise reduction you will only hear your voice. That's awesome really because you can't expect that from a 2k budget condenser mic. Now if you're a beginner and looking for a cheap but outstanding option A03 is your choice. You can go for A04 if you have extra money, although I can assure you wouldn't feel anything different. Delivery was good, I got the package on the 2nd day. The packaging was good and have no complaints. Amazon 10/10

Maono AU-A04 is a good mic to start with, if you are looking for a good mic with a low budget then this is one of the best to go with. My Mic all of a sudden stopped working after 2 months, I raised an issue with the Maono support, we tried to resolve the issue but it didn't worked for us, so they are issuing a refund to me. There customer support team is really super helpful, they go up and down to help you out.

Amazing amazing mic. Bought this 5 years ago and it's still going strong. I have recorded multiple songs on this and released on spotify and no one could tell that it's a podcasting mic. It's all about good mixing. The stand and pop filter are also of amazing quality. This mic is too good to be true. Go for it if you are looking for something really good at a cheap price.

Excellent Customer Support from Maono! I had an issue with my Maono microphone, and I reached out to their support team. I was truly impressed by their immediate response over email. They were very helpful and professional, and after understanding the issue, they quickly issued a replacement unit. The new microphone works perfectly, and I’m really happy with how smooth the entire process was. Great product backed by even better customer service. Highly recommend Maono!

Ok ok... Not good not bad.. USB mic gives you portability to just plug and play.. Mic is not for singing use.. Too much sensitive mic.. record background noise. works on windows/mac both. No noise cancellation.

I bought the Maono AU-404 Condenser Microphone Kit as I needed a professional Microphone Kit to record my Youtube and Video blogs that I publish in my aspiration to be a Influencer. I needed high quality recording equipment but also something that would fit in my budget. I researched quite a bit and was also advised by my cousin abroad as they had also used Maono audio products. I'm thrilled that I shortlisted and purchased this model. I have been using this for around a week now and below are my observations about it. ● The Maono AU-404 condenser Microphone Kit came in a professional box with Foam Block cut-out packed contents, including the Condenser Mike, the adjustable arms stand, the metal shock mount, pop filter, foam mic windscreen, table mounting clamp, USB-B to USB A cable and a detailed descriptive manual. All the required parts to set up the unit. ● Installation took 10 minutes on my workstation. Just followed the instructions in the manual and the diagram on the back of the box and it was really simple. Assemble from the base Clamp on the table upwards and its quite intuitive. ● Once installed the Microphone kit does not move. It is rock steady and the positioning can only be changed after un-screwing the 5 plastic screw tops which hold and adjust the angles of all the joints. ● Another observation that I had was that the microphone and all the parts are heavy and rugged also. This is not just a light weight local equipment put together. All the parts are polished, premium and sufficiently heavy. This translates into quality parts for a relative layperson like me. Very impressive both to use and to look at. My workstation is almost a show-area now. ● The Microphone Kit once assembled is Plug-n-Play. There was no configuring required. The native application on my Mac book pro and my recording software both automatically recognized it as an external microphone and after plugging it into the USB port, I could directly start recording audio on my system. This was the part I was nervous about as I can use the applications and systems but I'm not good with configuring settings and installing drivers etc., but I didn't face any problems in use so am glad I went with this model. ● The internal sound chipset is quite professional and the high resolution sampling rate ensures that the audio quality being recorded is crystal clear and crisp. There are no disturbance, distortion or variance in the recording. The pop filter and the foam mic windscreen ensures that no hissing sound or wind noise from the mouth get recorded during voice-overs or even while singing. My kids tried singing karaoke on it as they were quite excited with it and the results were quite good. Overall, A very satisfying purchase for me. Looks, installation and usage are off the charts for me. The functionality and quality provided by this product, whether I'm using it for personal Karaoke recordings with my kids to share with family or when I'm recording my You-Tube or video blog,s are of top-notch quality and make this a must have kit, both if you're a professional or hobbyist.
