  • The noise of the audio interface itself or the environmental noise in normal use, the solution is to use it in a quieter environment.
  • The microphone gain is too high or the environment is noisy, causing the ambient noise picked up by the microphone to exceed the audio interface's noise reduction threshold. The solution is to reduce the microphone gain.
  • The interface of the computer device you are using is old or poorly grounded, or the power circuit connected to it is old, causing leakage and continuous current noise. Please try another computer device in a different environment or switch to a mobile phone for testing.
  • Electronic devices with strong radiated signals in the vicinity of the microphone, for example: wireless routers/video lamps, will produce interference noise. Please use the microphone in a different environment, for example: if the current location is the living room, please use it in the bedroom instead.
  • The noise caused by software incompatibility, please change to use the computer recorder for recording, and close third-party software to avoid software conflicts or noise caused by effects.
  • If you use it on a mobile device, Apple devices must use MFI-certified cables, and other brands should use original cables as much as possible.

  2. Lower their volume or mic gain

Use unidirectional cardioid mics which have a rear rejection that means no pickup from back side. Then you can use stage monitors facing you in the middle of the stage. And mic won't pickup them.

  1. Ring out the speaker - deliberately create feedback by taking the mic closer to the speaker. When feedback happens, check the frequency on a real-time analyser and cut it using channel eq or graphic eq.
  2. Use a feedback reducer

1. What is the sampling rate and bit depth of the microphone?

48kHz/24Bit

2. Does the PD200X need to turn on 48v phantom power?

Not necessary, because the PD200X is a dynamic microphone

3. Correct the whistling sound coming from a mic?

  • That whistling sound is called an Audio feedback and caused because of an endless loop caused when the mic picks up the sound of the loudspeakers and sends it back to the loudspeakers to amplify and picks up again
  • Ways to correct /avoid feedback
  1. Face the speakers away from the mic or place farther away.
  2. Lower their volume or mic gain

Use unidirectional cardioid mics which have a rear rejection that means no pickup from back side. Then you can use stage monitors facing you in the middle of the stage. And mic won't pickup them.

  1. Ring out the speaker - deliberately create feedback by taking the mic closer to the speaker. When feedback happens, check the frequency on a real-time analyser and cut it using channel eq or graphic eq.
  2. Use a feedback reducer.

4. How to connect PD200X to Android and iOS

  • Android can be connected through OTG adapter or USB-C to USB-C data cable
  • iOS can be connected through the adapter cable provided by our company

5. Use PD200X feel small sound

  • Android can be connected through OTG adapter or USB-C to USB-C data cable
  • iOS can be connected through the adapter cable provided by our company
  • Using USB mode: Please check whether the microphone gain knob is in a reasonable position and whether the computer is using the device PD200X
  • Using XLR mode: please turn up the gain knob on the sound card, please check if the gain of the sound card is enough to push the microphone

6. Microphone has obvious current sound

  • Unplug the microphone data cable, replace the USB port and reconnect it (desktop computer to the USB behind the chassis, do not use a hub or docking station)
  • Stay away from audio and electronic products to avoid electronic signal interference. Change to a quiet environment to use the microphone, avoid external ambient sound being picked up by the microphone, troubleshoot the problem first
  • Turn off the use of third-party software, use the recorder that comes with the computer to test
  • May be the computer or plug board leakage, you can choose to replace a computer test

7. What is the low-cut function of the microphone and what does it do

  • Low-cut is a filter that removes low frequencies from the audio signal.
  • Frequencies below a defined frequency (usually between 20 Hz and 150 Hz) are removed from the filter, removing some of the low frequency noise for a cleaner sound

8. What are the power consumption parameters of PD200X

5V / 140mA-0.8W

9. Why the microphone XLR mode can not use the knob to control the sound, switch the sound effects

  • USB mode and XLR mode are completely separate, control the sound, light function is controlled by the USB mode, need power to use
  • XLR mode output for the pure original sound, switch and sound effects by the sound card control

10. Microphone has obvious humming sound

  • Microphone gain is too high, the microphone is sensitive, resulting in picking up more ambient sound, please reduce the microphone gain, it will improve the sound quality
  • PD200X is a condenser microphone, the microphone is sensitive, the microphone will pick up ambient sound while bringing more sound details, please keep a distance from your computer, cooling fan rotation and operation will generate noise
  • USB port or data cable is bad, please replace the connection cable or USB jack (desktop computer please connect to the USB port behind the case)

11. Microphone and Maono Link are not connected successfully

  • Please check the connection of the audio cable to the computer, unplug it and reconnect it
  • Check if the microphone works properly on the computer
  • If not resolved, please contact us via email: angela@maono.com

Lavalier/Wireless Microphones

1. How to solve the connection light keeps blinking, but no successful connection?

When the transmitter starts the connection function, it cannot connect to the receiver, try to use the phone
SIM card pin inserted into RESET hole and pressed for 3 seconds to start the reset function, then try to connect.

2. Can I use it on my camera via an adapter cable?

Cannot

3. Can the WM820 B2 and C2 microphones record a separate channel?

Cannot,This feature is supported on WM821, and you can purchase WM821

4. Can I use the adapter to transfer C2 to Apple phone?

Cannot

1. How to solve the connection light keeps blinking, but no successful connection?
When the transmitter starts the connection function, it cannot connect to the receiver, try to use the phone
SIM card pin inserted into RESET hole and pressed for 2 seconds to start the reset function, then try to connect.

2.Can I use it on my camera via an adapter cable?
yes

3.How to charge the charging box?
The use of conventional cell phone charger can be charged, a rechargeable battery, computer USB port

4. Wireless microphone charging how no response?
Please tear off the bottom of the insulation tape

5. What does the low-cut function do?
The low-cut function can shield the surrounding noise, and ambient sound so that the sound is cleaner

6. How do I connect the Maono WM821's windshields?
Align windshields and microphone jacks, then push in the direction of the Maono logo to complete the installation

7. Why the microphone is not connected successfully, the sound is not input into the phone?
1. Please check if the connection is correct, TRRS (Four rings) connects to the phone, TRS (three rings) connects to the microphone
2. Please connect the audio cable to the microphone OUTPUT jack
3. When using the phone does not have a 3.5 MM headset hole, please connect the phone through the On the Go adapter cable, On the Go adapter cable, please use the original, to avoid connection failure and poor sound quality problems

8. WM821 recording sound is very small, how to adjust?
1. If Your wireless microphone is not successfully connected to the phone, you can use the recorder to record the sound, and then gently tap near the charging port, if there are sound fluctuations, the microphone is not successfully connected, please reconnect the device
2.WM821 has 6 volume levels, short press the receiver A or B button to adjust the volume of the corresponding transmitter

9. What is the difference between the WM821's Merged(MIX) and Split(AB) recording modes?
1. The receiver can switch between "Merged(MIX)" and "Split(AB)" by pressing the power switch button.
2. This allows you to record each transmitter onto separate channels on the output ('Split' mode) or combine the two into a single output ('Merged' mode). When it's in 'Split' mode, there will be two output level meters, when it's in 'Merged' mode, there will be just one.
