Hey guys! Here is my review and comparison of the MAONO AU-A04 vs the MAONO AU-PM401 to find out which condenser microphone kit is better. The microphones are both affordable studio microphone bundle kits, but in my opinion one is definitely better than the other. Let me know what you think!

Great video. Please create a your Maono buying guide. They have a bunch of options on different prices. Hard to choose. So far I know that the Fairy bg noise is a deal breaker. No mute on A04 is also not good. But ofc, that all depends on the buyer.

Thanks for the review. I checked another review as well and while I definitely prefer the PM401 (based on your observations), but I noticed a few differences. 1) Another reviewer did an unboxing of the MAONO AU-A04 microphone and his did NOT have a small microphone tripod (the silver one). Either it was a temporary inclusion when you originally bought it or it was exclusive to your microphone. He also said the stand is very flimsy and despite the shock mount, there is some background noise if you bump into it. 2) The Price is way different now (especially in Canada). Full price for AU-A04 is $89.99 (CAD) and Full price for AU-PM401 is $109.99 (CAD). Amazon Sale price brought them down to $60.39 and $76.49 respectively (in CAD). $16 is more of difference than $5 making the AU-A04 the better priced option....but honestly, I'd rather go with the better mic PM401 or get a cheap entry mic like the Blue-Yeti mics (they've risen in price by $30 in the last 6 months and haven't gone back down, which is why I haven't bought a microphone yet). So that's where I'm at. Thanks for the advice.

Hi Tobias! I was wondering... in your professional opinion... if you thought both of these microphones could be used for a 2 person podcast? Or would it sound too weird with the difference in models? Thanks!
@TobiasHolenstein
@TobiasHolenstein 3 года назад
I don't think it would sound weird, but the only problem is that I don't think you would be able to use both mics to record at the same time, because in audio recording softwares (as far as I know) you can only select one input device (one usb microphone) at a time. That's kind of the drawback with usb mics. When people are using more than one microphone at a time they are usually using a multi channel audio interface where they can plug in several XLR microphones and the recording software will recognize the audio interface as the audio device

We've just done our first RU-vid video with our new PM401 and we're really happy with it! We initially bought the A04, but because it didn't have a mute button, and it captured all the sounds surrounding us, we had to change it to the PM401. It has a realistic sound. We love it has a mute button, it doesn't show the dog barking outside. We totally recommend it. 🥇

Awesome! A fellow Tobias!! 😄Yeah I think you can use the mic for gaming. I personally don't play any games, but I imagine it would work fine.

Hi Carl, so the A04 is a USB mic, so you wouldn't need an interface (unless you just wanted one for monitoring the audio). But if you already have an interface and if it has phantom power, I would just recommend getting a regular XLR condenser mic. Feel free to let me know if you have more questions, I'll try to explain as best I can

How will these 2 mics fare compared to phantom powered mics in terms of gain?
@TobiasHolenstein
@TobiasHolenstein 3 года назад
So from what I understand, I don't think phantom power will affect the amount of gain you can get with a mic. It's pretty much just an electricity source that is needed to power an XLR condenser mic. However, if you are using an audio interface that supplies phantom power (like the Focusrite Scarlett interfaces) you can increase your input gain substantially more

@TobiasHolenstein
@TobiasHolenstein 3 года назад
So I haven't personally tried the AU-PM422, but I have watched some reviews on it and one advantage I see with the AU-PM422 is that it has a gain knob on the front of the mic, which can come in handy for recording vocals or guitar. As for the audio quality, I think the PM401 and PM422 are pretty similar.

im trying to record vocals(musical opera) with MAONO AU-A04 and it saturates when i hit the high loud parts always or even normal notes when i need to put in a little oomph, if you could personally help me i would really appreaciate it, ive tried to record myself for years and its always the same problem, i just bought this mic and its been really depressing not being able to record myself for years :,c

Hi there! It sounds to me like you may be better off recording with a dynamic mic, which won't be quite as sensitive as a condenser. Although, if you still want to try to make the A04 work, maybe practice moving away from the mic for loud parts and try positioning your mouth at least 8 inches away from the mic at all times and don't point the capsule directly at your mouth. Hope that helps!

Hi would you recommend the Maono AU-MH501 headphones to use with these mics for recording? I want to record some covers for fun so I'm just needing the basics. Thanks in advance :)

Hi, so I took a look at the Amazon page and they look pretty good. I was actually using the MAONO AU-MH601 headphones for recording for a while. I'm not sure how similar they are to the AU-MH501, but they look pretty similar. Eventually I started having this problem where the AU-MH601s audio started cutting out on one side of the headphones and I think it was due to a bad connection with the cable, since the cable is completely detachable. It looks like the cable on the AU-MH501s is not detachable so I don't think you will have this problem

what is the difference between A04 and PM461 that was previously tested? I want to use it mainly for conference calls via laptop.
@TobiasHolenstein
@TobiasHolenstein 3 года назад
In my opinion the A04 and PM461 are pretty similar. The A04 has a bit better build quality, since the mic is metal and the PM461 is plastic, but the biggest difference in my opinion is that the PM461 has a built in gain knob on the mic, which is pretty convenient. Aside from that the A04 comes with the boom arm stand, which is pretty cool. In my opinion you should be good with either one, it just depends which features you like more

@TobiasHolenstein
@TobiasHolenstein 3 года назад
Hi Kent you mean the maono AU-PM461TR right? Sometimes they have mics with very similar numbers, so I just want to make sure. I haven't tried out the AU-A03, but I just watched a review on it and I felt like it kind of had a loud hiss. In my opinion I think the Maono AU-PM461TR sounds better. I have a review of it if you want to check it out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Xuurjpq2P8.html

does this version of Maono AU-A04 using the ALC4042 chip ? becuase in the video of TDCatTech RU-vid Channel, Maono says that post mid of 2020 this mic model has been replaced by different chipset which have different performance ( bad in performance ) because of shortage of the ALC4042 chip
@TobiasHolenstein
@TobiasHolenstein 3 года назад
Yeah I just recently found out about this as well. my A04 has the ALC4042 chip. I recently made a video where I compare the A04 to the Blue Snowball and I opened up my A04 to check what chip I had ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WL-ZVxLEs4Y.html

Hi Olivia, for recording videos, what I usually do is I record the video on my camera and I record the audio separately on my computer and then I sync the audio up with the video in editing
@AjarnSpencer

a good sound mixer and studio software and sound card will make a cheap microphone sound as good or better than an expensive one without a good soundcard. Same as 10,000 dollar speakers cant produce a ten thousand bucks sound if it is playing a 1920s scratched gramophone record. Source is usually superior to endpoint, but with studio sound editing software, we dont need expensive microphones anymore, Best sound i get is with my iphone talking into it or earbuds, and i own a rhode and a Blue Yeti studio, They are not as good as my galaxy earbuds or my iPhone microphone for ambient noise damping, nor are they as steady and uniform when you lean forward and back at different distances to the mike. All my clearest loudest narratives on videos were always with the iPhone directly speaking into it. Beats a Rhode and a Yeti studio
