Maono PD400X

This week we're going to look at what is traditionally a "caster" mic in the studio. The PD400X from Maono. We put this mic against the king of caster mics the Shure SM7b. Will the mic be able to step up to the plate and hold its own against a 40 year old studio and caster staple? ***LINKS*** Obscure Mics - https://youtu.be/iSbGnDzJUwQ Audio Hotline - https://youtu.be/bRyoSY9xHA4 Podcastage - https://www.youtube.com/@Podcastage Maono Link Software - https://www.maono.com/pages/maono-link-software Special Thanks To: @drumagna Danny Lamagna on drums this week Matt Garzilli on acoustic guitar.
