Maono AU-PM320S Condenser Microphone Kit - Test / Review 

I got this mic and the material is very resonate. After I opened the mic and put some windscreen Inside the Mic, it reduced it by like 70%

The Tibetan singing bowl mic! I would almost buy one to use as a musical instrument.

I just got the boom arm kit version of this mic and came here to say you were dead-on about the resonance. It doesn't just happen with labial plosives (/p/, /b/) but also with lower voice frequencies. I have what they call a "bassy" voice, and listening to a recording of my own voice, I can definitely hear this resonance/metallic rumble whenever my voice produces bass. It's like lower frequencies make the chasis vibrate. I also find the sound to be a bit too bright for my liking. I have another budget mic (a dynamic mic though) which I've been using for a while now, Samson Q2U, which sounds a bit better in my opinion. I think for speech (not singing), streaming, podcasting etc. dynamic mics are the way to go.

It’s a pity about the ringing noise. Do you think a few layers of gaffers tape around the body would fix it? Thanks for making this video, mate.

The resonance of the body is very easy to fix it, with foam. But the sound is really great!!

I bought this mic today and I'm a little confused. Is it normal for the gain to be all the way up (48v On) so that I can hear normally? (I'm with Scarlett Solo 3gen)

Would the pop filter have helped at all with the resonance when you make the 'P' sounds? Obviously it won't help at all if you hit it but perhaps the boom arm & pop filter would help?

Just got the Mic and have the same problems. Every tab on the desk or my mouse makes a "resonance" noise on the mic.

Can we get a miniseries on experiments in trying to kill that resonance? Hack an internal windscreen line the body with dynamat wrap the capsule in pantyhose, etc. Could be a fun bit of tinkering to see what works and what doesn't.

I don't have that resonance with the kit that came with it. And definitely no metallic sound like you do. Maybe they got a new body really, cause I got it like a week ago and this review was two years ago.

It's sounds just as good as your sm7b...imo. aside from the steel drum handling sound. Don't need a cloud lifter.

Hey I'm a beat maker but I also need good xlr condenser Mic for cheap to make producer tag or when vocal artist come over etc. Do you recommend it ??? Also I ordered the M-Audio 192/4 interface does that have phantom power to support this microphone if I get it ??

not bad. it's a $20 mic with a whole lot of accessories.

i have the exact same model, i use it to record music, it's a very got quality/price, the only problem is that metallic sound you can hear when you tuch it

Does this thing record 24 bit or not? Without technical specs.... this isn'nt helpful sorry. People want microphones that can handle 24 and it's so frustrating. It's so hard to find a decent price condenser mic with something other tjan a unidirectional pattern. Ine spec or another iz always missing. I need a minimum of a 96 Khz range. I cannot find what I need

Moano maono same thing

Which interface are you using there?

Would you buy this at $80?

Hate it when they get one thing so wrong it makes the mic unusable.

i think your ovedr cridicial on this tapping crap its mounted on a an arm and a table and that going to happen with any mic ,, your not going to be tapping stuff when your recording so this wont happen.. i can tap on any mic mounted in the same manor and get that crap happening and just to even tap on a mic your going to get that ding sound crap

Wow the tone is so annoying :D:D
