  • Our take on the MAONO A04 Condenser Microphone

    The MAONO A04 is a USB condenser microphone with a 16mm cardioid capsule, a 30Hz–16kHz frequency response and a 120dB maximum SPL. It plugs in over USB-A or USB-C to USB-B, so it works with a laptop or desktop without an audio interface. The cardioid pattern rejects sound from behind, which suits one person talking or singing close to the mic. It sits in the budget USB class against the Blue Snowball and Fifine models, and its 4.8 rating from 52 buyers suggests owners are satisfied for the money.

    Questions and answers

    Does the MAONO A04 need an audio interface?
    No. It connects straight to a computer over USB, so the mic is the interface.
    What is the polar pattern?
    Cardioid only. It favors sound from the front and rejects the rear, which suits one speaker at a time.
    How loud a source can it take?
    Up to 120dB SPL, enough for close vocals and louder instruments without clipping.
    What cables come with it?
    A USB-A to USB-B and a USB-C to USB-B cable, covering standard and USB-C ports.
    Is it good for streaming and calls?
    Yes for a single speaker. Keep it close and treat the room, since the condenser capsule picks up echo.
    How does it compare with the Blue Snowball?
    The A04 is cardioid only, while the Snowball adds an omni pattern. The A04's 30Hz–16kHz range and 120dB SPL are competitive for voice work.

    At Maono, for $59.99, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the MAONO A04 Condenser Microphone?
    Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 52 ratings.
