First Wireless Dynamic Podcast Microphone
The PD200W provides wireless freedom for podcasters, interviewers, and creators. With 2.4GHz wireless transmission, it requires no drivers or setup. With no cable restrictions, it makes it easy to move around, adjust desk layouts, or change recording positions without interruption.
It also features a claimed 60-hour battery life.
Triple-Mode Connectivity
As well as 2.4GHz wireless transmission, there is also USB/XLR triple-mode support. This triple-mode design allows direct use with laptops, desktop setups, mixers, and even professional sound interfaces. Creators can start with entry-level devices like a phone or tablet, then switch to professional equipment without changing microphones.
Built for Two-Person Podcasting
For collaborative content, the PD200W allows multi-person recording with dual-channel stereo recording. This feature captures two voices on separate left and right audio channels, enabling independent volume adjustments in post-production. By eliminating track-mixing issues common in group podcasts or interviews, creators save valuable editing time.
Additionally, the PD200W features 48kHz/24-bit resolution, an 82dB signal-to-noise ratio, and a 128dB max SPL.
Price & Availability
The Maono PD200W Dynamic Podcast Microphone is available from Amazon and the Maono website for $99.99 USD (for the desktop version).
