AU-A04 Condenser Microphone Kit (Black)

I bought the Maono AU-404 Condenser Microphone Kit as I needed a professional Microphone Kit to record my Youtube and Video blogs that I publish in my aspiration to be a Influencer. I needed high quality recording equipment but also something that would fit in my budget. I researched quite a bit and was also advised by my cousin abroad as they had also used Maono audio products. I'm thrilled that I shortlisted and purchased this model. I have been using this for around a week now and below are my observations about it. ● The Maono AU-404 condenser Microphone Kit came in a professional box with Foam Block cut-out packed contents, including the Condenser Mike, the adjustable arms stand, the metal shock mount, pop filter, foam mic windscreen, table mounting clamp, USB-B to USB A cable and a detailed descriptive manual. All the required parts to set up the unit. ● Installation took 10 minutes on my workstation. Just followed the instructions in the manual and the diagram on the back of the box and it was really simple. Assemble from the base Clamp on the table upwards and its quite intuitive. ● Once installed the Microphone kit does not move. It is rock steady and the positioning can only be changed after un-screwing the 5 plastic screw tops which hold and adjust the angles of all the joints. ● Another observation that I had was that the microphone and all the parts are heavy and rugged also. This is not just a light weight local equipment put together. All the parts are polished, premium and sufficiently heavy. This translates into quality parts for a relative layperson like me. Very impressive both to use and to look at. My workstation is almost a show-area now. ● The Microphone Kit once assembled is Plug-n-Play. There was no configuring required. The native application on my Mac book pro and my recording software both automatically recognized it as an external microphone and after plugging it into the USB port, I could directly start recording audio on my system. This was the part I was nervous about as I can use the applications and systems but I'm not good with configuring settings and installing drivers etc., but I didn't face any problems in use so am glad I went with this model. ● The internal sound chipset is quite professional and the high resolution sampling rate ensures that the audio quality being recorded is crystal clear and crisp. There are no disturbance, distortion or variance in the recording. The pop filter and the foam mic windscreen ensures that no hissing sound or wind noise from the mouth get recorded during voice-overs or even while singing. My kids tried singing karaoke on it as they were quite excited with it and the results were quite good. Overall, A very satisfying purchase for me. Looks, installation and usage are off the charts for me. The functionality and quality provided by this product, whether I'm using it for personal Karaoke recordings with my kids to share with family or when I'm recording my You-Tube or video blog,s are of top-notch quality and make this a must have kit, both if you're a professional or hobbyist.

Maono AU-A04 is a good mic to start with, if you are looking for a good mic with a low budget then this is one of the best to go with. My Mic all of a sudden stopped working after 2 months, I raised an issue with the Maono support, we tried to resolve the issue but it didn't worked for us, so they are issuing a refund to me. There customer support team is really super helpful, they go up and down to help you out.

I have had this mic for almost 4 years now and it still works awesome,you just need to know how to use it to get the best quality. This mic was on my jounrney of me making music,you can search my old page "Revxn" and my new Page "Charan Dhillxn" on spotify all of the songs i made were recorded on this mic I will never forget this mic as I'm gonna be upgrading to a new one soon but im still gonna be using this one,its been 4 years since i bought it i dropped it on hard concrete many times but still its u bothered very good mic go for it.

Its a good one. I definitely recommend it. Build quality is good..sound quality is good. Adjustability is fine. Connects easily. Recordings are good. And its unidirectional so less noise in recordings. Overall a good mic. Included accessories are also of good quality. Weight is not a issue.

Good

I did a lot of research before going for this and now I am proud of myself for choosing this. I am 100% satisfied with the product. the mic is a complete set which is the only thing that you need for a professional recording. this is a plug and play mic which means all you need to do is to connect it in the USB port of your desktop or laptop. Don't have a pc? no problem, you can connect this thing to a mobile phone using a OTG adapter. the Realtek adapter that this mic has is a great boon as you don't need to download any additional software or any drivers. so, what are all the things that comes with the mic mic capsule shock mount pop filter wind foam boom arm table attachment USB cables cables managers(x2) booklets overall, this is a complete package which can be used for a lot of purposes which includes gaming, YouTube videos, singing, content creation, video calls, podcast, video voice over, etc.... almost all the parts are made out of solid metal and it really gives you an amazing premium feel when you touch it. the microphone is completely built out of metal and will give you an amazing solid feel if you held it in your hand. the microphone has a cardioid pattern which means it only takes the sound form your side and won't take any other unnecessary noise from the outside which is not in the range of the mic I live near a busy road and this mic works great by not picking up any unnecessary noise from the road. so, an important aspect of any sound product is the sound quality. well in that case the mic has an amazing audio quality. the vocals are crisp and clear. the included pop filter and the wind foam helps with the distortion. the shock mount really works well. you won't' get any disturbances even if you touched your mic while recording. over all this is a bang for a buck. worth every penny. better than a lot of other microphones within the same range. and even better when compared to a lot of costly mics out there. this is definitely worth considering. I am satisfied with it. thanks for the amazing product

Absolutely Disappointed with Amazon’s Irresponsibility! I purchased a microphone from Amazon, and this has turned out to be the most frustrating experience ever. The product is not working at all despite trying it on three different mobiles and one laptop. When I reached out to Amazon for support, they simply washed their hands off and told me to contact the seller directly. For the past three days, I have been trying to reach the seller, but there is no valid contact number and absolutely no response from them. Amazon, being the platform, should hold accountability, but they clearly don’t. Instead, they are pushing customers into a dead end. Customers should be very careful before buying such products. Always double-check the description box because once you get stuck with a faulty product, Amazon will show zero responsibility. On top of this, the one-month EMI scheme is another trap. They partner with Axio (their lending partner), and if extra EMI is debited, Amazon conveniently says it’s not their problem. Their customer care team is clueless, helpless, and not ready to take ownership of these issues. This entire experience shows how Amazon has shifted from being a customer-first platform to a company that just shrugs off responsibility. Extremely disappointed and will think twice before buying electronics from Amazon again

The mic, works fantastic, just that it doesn't stay in place keeps coming downwards. But definitely does the job.
