This is my comparison and review of the Maono PD200X vs the Maono PD400X. These are both USB and XLR microphones, so you can plug them into your computer directly using the included USB cable or you can connect them to an audio interface, mixer, etc. with an XLR cable. Let me know which microphone you prefer!

Thanks for the comparison review, very helpful! I think the PD400X is more "professional", therefore it has more custom settings&analogue EQ adjustment button. PD200X is targeting for more common people such as streamers, players and podcasters. Both of them are very good mic and budget friendly though.

Does the dual output (USB & XLR) of PD400X operate alternately or can they be used simultaneously? If they can be used simultaneously, is it possible as a backup in case one of them encounters an issue? How about PD200X? Can the USB & XLR be used simultaneously? I appreciate your assistance.

@mithileshnathany1812 8 месяцев назад

Hey! Thanks your reviews are always great! So I wanted to ask, which mic should I choose between PM421 and PD200X? My use case is for an interview-type remote podcast over Zoom, and my room isn't well soundproofed like yours. Background noise isn't too much from outside, except for a ceiling fan and A.C. Also, can I plug and play PD200X directly into my PC, just like PM421, without using an audio interface? The prices I'm getting in my region are really good - $50 bucks for PB and the same for PM mic as well. I'm aware that overall dynamic mics are better for podcasts than condenser mics, but please help me out!

@techwithtobias 8 месяцев назад

Hi! Yes for your podcast I think the PD200X would be a solid choice if you are worried about noise in your room. That would probably be the easiest route, but also what helps with condenser mics, like the pm421, is if you are experiencing background noise or if you feel like your room is influencing the sound of your mic, you can always turn down your mic gain and get closer to your mic.

@mithileshnathany1812 8 месяцев назад

@@techwithtobias doesn't pb200x has gain to do the same? And you didn't answer the other question: that is the pb200x plug and play? In USB? Or do I need an audio interface or software? And at last after using both mics what would you recommend? And thanks for the quick reply!

@techwithtobias 8 месяцев назад

@@mithileshnathany1812 Yes the PD200x has gain to do the same and also, yes the PD200x is plug and play with a USB cable. It's actually both usb and xlr so you can choose how you want to use it. Personally I like the sound of a condenser, so probably the PM421, but if I wanted something that wouldn't pick up as much background sounds, then I would choose the PD200x

@mithileshnathany1812 8 месяцев назад

@@techwithtobias @techwithtobias yes I checked sound quality on your videos but I don't know the PD200x sounds more buttery and smooth and that soft voice that makes it really good whereas the PM421 sounds more harsh to me but has that crispy punch to it for some reason but either way I think both are very good and the pricing of $50 is perfect for PD200x in here so I may get that one because if I get interface later on then I got my back with PD200x and I won't need to upgrade as well. Do you agree about the sound description about PD200X I said? Maybe it's because it's a dynamic mic.

@iitsMKC 7 месяцев назад

@sinclair_09 7 месяцев назад

the fifine k688 does not even compete with the sound signature of the pd200x and pd400x. It sounds sooooo bad even with the XLR, having a "different" sound signature does not justify how bad the quality of it's sound

it seems pd400x is a perfect kit for a mid-range mic huh. Excelent quality, good build, a lot of stuff in the box. Just buy, plug and use a good mic. Sounds like a good idea. If with time it will be on sale - its just a gold steal. oO I wonder how it sounds in comparison with a high-lvl mics thou. Like shure sm7b or something. All such stuff. Sony xm5 from mic-world so to speak. xD I think I will try pd400x. I like that "compleetness" of the product.

@FriendlyPCGamers Год назад

Is that normal at 6:00? I want to buy 200x but at 100% gain its scaring me. Then both 400 and 200 at 100% gain were catching ambience and equipment, magnetic noise almost similar.

@techwithtobias 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it's not really anything to worry about. Turning the gain up to 100% is super unusual and I just did it as a test to kind of give a feel for how the noise floor changes as the gain is turned up. With any mic I've ever tried, if you were to turn the gain up that loud it would definitely sound weird and the results may even vary depending on the audio interface or mixer you are using.

Which one do you prefer from first to third in sound quality, pd200x au-pm401 or au-pm421?

Personally I like using a condenser microphone because my recording environment is pretty good, so I would go with the 421 first, then the 401 then the pd200x. The 421 and 401 are pretty similar, but I like having the gain knob on the 421

How to enhance voice quality of Maono pd 200x mic

@techwithtobias 9 месяцев назад

There are a few things you can try. You can "boost the air" to try to get a brighter sound in your voice, which is basically just boosting the higher frequencies. You can also try a little bit of compression to help even out the volume of your voice

@Romieeee_ 7 месяцев назад

Would an xlr to usb be better than usb-c/usb ?

@techwithtobias 7 месяцев назад

Do you mean those XLR to USB cables? I've never personally tried one, but the thing with those is that then you are dependent on the sound card in the cable, which will have a big influence on how the microphone sounds. When you have a USB mic, the sound card is built into the microphone. For example, these two Maono mics in this video have built in sound cards, so the USB cable doesn't determine how they sound. Does that make sense?

@Romieeee_ 7 месяцев назад

@@techwithtobias Yeah that makes sense, so the cable doesn't have anything to do with the sound in this case if I understand correctly. I'll be getting the pd200x, thanks for a great reply!
