A good microphone is essential to producing quality content, whether you’re thinking of streaming, Youtube, podcast, or if you just want to have better audio comms.
High quality audio has traditionally been quite expensive and cumbersome to set up, with multiple interfaces and connections required.
The Maono HD300T is promising high quality out of the box with one cable to your computer, and it mostly delivers.
The stand is adjustable both in height and in the angle of the microphone.
On the microphone itself, you’ll find a power switch and some rubber coated tactile buttons to control volume of your microphone.
On the back of the AU-HD300T, you’ll find all the inputs and outputs.
Conveniently, the microphone supports both an XLR connection and USB-C connection without the need to amplify the signal. It is very easy to get this microphone set up with minimal equipment. The Samson Q2U microphone offers an XLR and mini-USB connection, at a higher price than the Maono mic.
The no-latency 1/8′ headphone jack rounds out the I/O of the microphone. This headphone jack allows you to monitor your microphone in real-time, again without the need for any additional hardware or software.
The microphone itself is a classic handheld mic design, the mic itself is 7.5 inches long.
The wire cage of the microphone screws off, revealing the cardioid dynamic microphone underneath.
Lots of accessories!

I absolutely love my Maono AD-HD300T Microphone. The only set back for me is that Windows 10 recognizes the mic but I am unable to hear any sound coming from my speakers. Other than that I give it an A.
