Maono Link- Brings Advanced Audio Processing Features to Maono PD400X
With the release of the PD400X, the Maono-Link software also comes into focus for users. Also, with the emergence of PD400X, Maono Link, a simple and easy-to-use software, has caught the eyes of content creators as well. The launch of Maono-Link, Maonoâs first software, marks the company's official entry into the integrated software and hardware product field. The PD400X, the first microphone designed to work with Maono-Link, features a more distinctive and powerful function upgrade compared to previous Maono microphones. Now, let's take a quick look at what makes this software different.
As Maono's first software, Maono-Link is designed to be simpler and easier to use compared to other similar software. Since some users are new to dynamic microphones, the software ensures that they can easily understand and control the microphoneâs functions. It is available for Windows 7 or later and macOS 10.14 or later. The standard version of Maono-Link can be used to control the Maono PD400X dynamic microphone, as well as upcoming models like the Maono DM30 condenser microphone and more Maono microphones in the future.
After connecting Maono PD400X XLR/USB microphone to a computer via USB cable and starting Maono Link software, you will see some standard features, such as mute, headphone volume, mic gain level, and RGB on/off. These standard features are also available via physical button/knob control. The convenience of adjusting the microphone saves you the effort of reaching for it while creating content on a computer.
What's more, Maono Link Desktop software provides advanced features to fully unlock the hardware potential of the Maono PD400X, such as EQ options, a limiter, and a compressor, to meet specific needs.
The EQ options offer four types of audio filters, including flat filter, high-pass filter, presence boost filter, and lastly, high-pass filter and presence boost filter. You can use high-pass filters for removing rumble and other noise from instruments. In other words, high-pass filters allow us to make cleaner, tighter mixes. The presence boost effect can help vocals cut through noisy environments and dense audio mixes. The compressor works by attenuating the loudest parts of the signal and boosting the result.
After compression, the quieter signal is more apparent since the dynamic range has been reduced. A limiter turns down the volume of a sound more strongly than a compressor does. Whether you are using the microphone for gaming or using the microphone for the podcast, applying these features will make your recording more professional and gives you more confidence.
Maono Link marks Maono's the first step in developing hardware products as well as smart software. With Maono's continuous efforts on developing functional audio products, users will experience greater satisfaction.
Why Maono Launched PD400X Kickstarter Project
In 2020, Maono launched Maonocaster project in Kickstarter. Thanks to our backers' great suggestions, we were able to improve the Maonocaster before mass production.
We are devoted to developing great microphones for content creators and we value constructive opinions from users. So, recently we launched the Maono PD400X Dynamic Podcast Microphone project to let Maono supporters participate in the creation process. The product is already one of the best dynamic microphones, but we want to improve it by listening directly to users and improving the microphone as much as possible.
Maono will always be committed to becoming a global leading brand of Internet audio products that deliver a pleasant sound experience. With the mission of making the worldâs best microphones and audio products, we will continue to work hard and never give up.
The Maono PD400X dynamic podcast microphone is built to satisfy each content creators' need for a multi-functional XLR/USB dynamic microphone. Audio processing is made easy with the features in the Maono Link desktop software. Amazingly, PD400X now is available on our Kickstarter, so why not grab to chance and be the first one to try out the PD400X microphone today?
