    PGN012 - Maono PD500W Hybrid Microphone
    Jun 29 2026
    I’m Hank Davis, and this is Podcast Gear News for June 2026 (Your monthly podcasting equipment news show).The lead story this month is the prototype testing and Kickstarter for the Maono PD500W microphone. Full disclosure that Maono sent me this mic as part of their pre-release creator testing. You can check the Kickstarter for pricing (link in the description). While its design will make you think of the Shure SM7B the similarities end there. The PD500W features XLR, USB, and wireless connectivity, plus internal recording for good measure. The microphone features:32-bit Float Internal Recording (about 45 hours of REC)24-bit/48kHz Sample Rate in USB mode2.4GHz Wireless AI Noise Cancellation147dB Max SPL (XLR Connection)Superb flocked windscreenClean rear panel with two near flush buttons (REC & Power)2-setting knob which controls mic and headphone gain.The Maono Link software expands the features even further with settings for automatic gain control, EQ, noise cancellation, compression, limiting, a digital pop filter setting, and there's even AI summary, transcription, and translation. At the time of this recording the Kickstarter is in pre-release. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maono/maono-pd500w-hybrid-microphone?ref=1gi6mkMaono released the P1 and P2 audio interfaces since the last episode of Podcast Gear News. They sent me the P1 when there was still snow on the ground so I've had the unit for months. The P1 specs are as follows:24-bit/192kHz70dB gain rangeEIN: -130dBMFi CertifiedThe unit features 4 knobs (each equipped with mute functionality - that includes the headphone knob) a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 3.5mm camera line out, two USB-C ports for dual connectivity, auto-gain, and the updated ProStudio software that has been greatly improved.
