Maono AU-PD100X RGB

Dynamic USB/XLR microphone with dual connectivity, designed for gamers and streamers who need the flexibility of choosing between the simplicity of USB and the professional capabilities of the XLR interface. The dynamic cardioid capsule covers frequencies from 40 Hz to 16 kHz — a range optimized for voice with a natural high-frequency roll-off typical of dynamic microphones, while recording is done in 24-bit / 48 kHz quality through the digital interface.

Sensitivity of -52 dB is typical for dynamic models and requires close proximity to the sound source, but the maximum sound pressure of 130 dB allows it to handle loud sources without distortion, and the integrated noise cancellation system helps clear the recording of background interference. The Maono AU-PD100X RGB microphone stands out with customizable RGB lighting featuring three modes and 19 color options, controlled via proprietary Maono Link software or a button on the body, creating visual highlights in a gaming setup.

A dual-function rotary knob with LED color indication allows independent adjustment of microphone gain and the volume of monitoring headphones, connected through the built-in jack for latency-free sound monitoring. A soft-touch mute button provides instant muting without mechanical clicks, which is important during streaming and gaming sessions. The Maono Link software provides access to a custom equalizer, detailed noise cancellation settings, and controls for all microphone parameters through a convenient interface.

The metal body ensures the durability of the construction, the included windscreen minimizes plosive consonants, the detachable cable simplifies transportation, and the desk tripod offers basic placement, although a stand needs to be purchased separately for optimal positioning — this is a versatile solution for users starting with USB connectivity with an eye on moving to a professional XLR interface.
