What the kit includes
The MAONO AU-PM320S is an XLR condenser microphone kit built for streamers, podcasters, singers and voice-over artists who want studio-style capture at home. A 16 mm large-diaphragm capsule delivers extended frequency response and high SPL handling for vocals and instruments. The cardioid pattern focuses on sound in front of the mic while rejecting room noise. A shock mount, pop filter and 98 in XLR cable are bundled for immediate use.
What your setup must provide
This microphone requires 48 V phantom power from an audio interface, mixer or dedicated preamp; it will not work when plugged directly into a computer or USB port. Verify that your interface supplies standard 48 V phantom power on its XLR inputs before ordering. You also need a free XLR input channel and a mic stand or boom arm to mount the included shock mount.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a passive condenser design, the microphone draws only the phantom power current supplied by your interface and generates no measurable heat during operation. Self-noise is kept low by the cardioid capsule and the supplied shock mount, which isolates the capsule from desk vibrations and handling sounds. The 98 in balanced XLR cable helps reject electrical interference for a clean signal chain.
