Since 2022, I’ve reviewed a wide range of microphones for Digital Camera World, from stand-mounted cable-connected podcasting mics such as Logitech’s Yeti Blue to tiny wireless clip-on lavalier mics like the Hollyland Lark A1. I’d use a cable-connected Yeti to record review voiceovers in my home office and a wireless mic like the Hollyland Lark A1 to record audio when testing gadgets on location.
The Maono PD200W has something new to offer in terms of connectivity. You can mount it on its supplied stand, pop it on your desktop, and connect it to your PC via a USB-C cable, just as you would do with a classic podcasting mic such as the Yeti. For even better audio quality, you can plug a female XLR cable into the PD200W’s male XLR socket and connect it to a mixing desk (which you can’t do with the Yeti).
