Maono PD200X Dynamic Microphone

The Maono PD200X is a “hybrid” dynamic microphone that combines the professional build and audio quality of an XLR mic with the modern convenience of a USB-C connection.

Specification

• Dual Connectivity (USB & XLR):  USB Mode: Plug-and-play for PC, Mac, and consoles (PS4/PS5). This mode activates the internal DSP, RGB lighting, and software features.

  • XLR Mode: Allows you to connect to professional mixers or audio interfaces for a cleaner, analog signal path.

• 2-in-1 Smart Knob: A large, multi-function dial on the front allows you to toggle between and adjust Microphone Gain and Headphone Volume with a simple click.

• Customizable RGB Lighting: Features a ring of “breathing” RGB lights at the base of the capsule.⁷ You can choose from 8 static colors or a dynamic multi-color gradient to match your gaming setup.

• One-Key Mute: A physical mute button with a clear LED indicator (Green for active, Red for muted) ensures you know exactly when you are “on air.”

• Maono Link Software: When used in USB mode, you can unlock advanced “Digital Signal Processing” (DSP) features:

  • EQ Presets: Choose between Deep, Natural, Bright, or Legacy tones.

  • Advanced Controls: Adjust the Limiter, Compressor, and Noise Reduction levels.

📦 In the Box

The PD200X usually includes the essential accessories to get started:

• The Microphone with an integrated shock mount.

• USB-C to USB-A/C Cable (2.5 m).

• 5/8′ to 3/8” adapter for boom arms.

• Note: An XLR cable is typically not included and must be purchased separately if you plan to use an interface.

Best Use For

• Gaming & Streaming: The dynamic capsule is excellent at ignoring mechanical keyboard clicks, and the RGB adds to the visual aesthetic.

• Podcasting: Provides a “radio” voice quality with plenty of low-end warmth, especially when using the “Deep” EQ setting in the software.

• Remote Work: A significant upgrade over laptop mics for professional-sounding video calls.
