Budget Podcast Kit Review: Maono AU-A04
Does it take a lot of money to get a great sounding podcast or live stream? While it’s no secret that higher end gear can deliver better results, let’s take a look at the Maono AU-A04 mic kit that includes everything you need to get started. Is it too good to be true, or is it a great option for anyone who’s just starting out or working on a budget?
This video is not sponsored in any way. I purchased this microphone kit myself to test for this video. I recommend watching the entire video to get the full context, but if you just want the Maono mic test, it starts at 8:51.
