MAONO

MAONO PM500 XLR condenser microphone 34mm 48v

SKU CH-294F-XHSH4

An XLR condenser microphone with a 34mm gold-sputtered capsule, cardioid pattern and 20Hz–20KHz response, requiring 48v phantom power for studio recording

  • 34 mm gold-sputtered capsule captures studio-grade detail
  • Cardioid pattern rejects off-axis noise for cleaner recordings
  • 48 V phantom power delivers balanced, low-noise output
  • Zinc-alloy body shields signal from electromagnetic interference
  • Included pop filter, shock mount and stand isolate vibration

Built for vocal capture

The MAONO PM500 is an XLR condenser microphone built around a custom 34mm gold-sputtered diaphragm capsule. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound, delivering a 20Hz–20KHz frequency response suited to podcasting, streaming, voice-over and music recording. The zinc-alloy body provides electromagnetic shielding for a cleaner signal path.

Verify phantom power and mounting

This microphone requires an external 48V phantom power source such as an audio interface or dedicated preamp; it will not operate from a USB port or laptop input alone. An XLR cable is not included, so confirm you have one available. The package supplies a metal pop filter, shock mount and desktop stand, which must be assembled before use.

Consistent tone during long sessions

The premium circuit design and permalloy signal transformer keep self-noise low even when the capsule is active for extended periods. Cardioid rejection remains stable, preventing room reflections from creeping into the recording as gain stays constant. The rugged metal construction resists handling vibration, so the sound character does not drift over hours of continuous streaming or tracking.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the MAONO PM500 and what extra gear is needed to use it?

The package includes the PM500 microphone, a metal pop filter, a shock mount and a desktop stand. You must supply an audio interface or mixer that provides 48v phantom power via XLR to operate the microphone.

How does the 34mm capsule size affect the sound of this model?

The custom 34mm gold-sputtered diaphragm delivers a wide 20Hz-20KHz frequency response with detailed midrange, silky highs and warm bass, making it suitable for vocals, instruments and spoken-word work.

What does the 48v phantom-power requirement mean for my recording setup?

The PM500 only works when connected to an interface or mixer that supplies 48v phantom power over XLR; without that external power the microphone will not produce any signal.
