Maono microphone for live streamers launches globally with unique recording feature
The Maono PD500W microphone is now available globally following a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year that raised more than double its funding goal. It is designed for recording voices clearly while podcasting, live streaming, and gaming thanks to AI background noise reduction. It comes with XLR connectivity for use with an external audio mixer, such as the Maono P1 audio mixer reviewed by Notebookcheck, and a USB-C wireless receiver for direct use with phones, tablets, cameras, and laptops.
The PD500W has a frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz from its 30 mm dynamic microphone capsule. Audio is output at 48 kHz, 24-bit over an XLR cable or using its included USB-C wireless receiver. The microphone can handle recording very loud sounds up to a maximum of 147 dB SPL without break-up or distortion thanks to its use of 32-bit float for audio recordings.
At the same time, triple-level AI noise reduction helps keep background noise in check, while selectable limiters and de-poppers help minimize the need to edit the recorded audio, according to Maono.
Unique to the PD500W among microphones used for podcasting and live streaming is its built-in 32 GB of storage with a 60-hour-rated battery, enabling recordings anywhere without a connected device. This feature allows creators to keep recording important events even after their phones and cameras have run out of power.
The PD500W comes in various kits for as low as $399 on Amazon or for as low as $239 directly from Maono.
