A04 series has been the best selling Maono USB podcast microphone for years. It is loved
by our users for its Cardioid pick up pattern, outstanding recording quality, and the
convenience of USB Plug-and-Play.
We have been adding several new bundles to cater to the various needs of our customers
over the years, but it seems to be overwhelming for people to decide which one to buy. This
article may answer your questions regarding the differences among different A04 bundles
and help you choose the best one for you.
Every A04 microphone comes with our highly rated A04 Cardioid condenser microphone, a
USB-A to USB-B cable for data transfer, and a foam windscreen. The main difference is the
accessories they came with.
