Learning Maono Link Software
The Maono Link software provides DSP controls for microphone adjustment. You can configure your microphone through its interface. The adjustment panel offers controls in three sections: Basics, Scenes, and Lights. The Basics section contains the most common settings. The Scenes section allows you to set the microphone effects with one click. The Lights section controls the mic's ambient RGB lighting.
Product Functions
1. Basics
The Basics section includes the most commonly used functions by users, such as gain, headphone volume, noise cancellation, and monitor output. These can all be adjusted quickly and intuitively.
Microphone Gain
Gain control allows users to adjust microphone sensitivity across 20 levels (0-20). We provide recommended gain ranges for optimal performance. Typically, the farther you are from the mic, the higher the gain setting needed to maintain volume. When positioned closer to the source, lower gain settings can achieve optimal volume levels with enhanced clarity.

Headphone Volume
The headphone output volume can be adjusted using the knob of the microphone body or via the "Headphone Volume" option in the "Basics" section of Maono Link software.

Noise cancellation
The noise cancellation function offers three modes: Slight, Moderate, and Aggressive. Adjust the setting based on your ambient noise level for optimal audio immersion.
Monitor Output
By default, the headphone monitor outputs a blend of computer audio and microphone input. In different creative scenes, adjust your monitoring settings accordingly. Check/Uncheck devices to control which audio sources are route to your headphones. For guidance, click the "?" icon beside "Monitor Output" for tips.
How to Set Up Monitor Output
Adjust your monitoring mix per scene by checking/unchecking sources:
Mic: Audio of microphone.
Computer: Output from the computer connected to your receiver (e.g., media playback/notifications).

2. Scenes
We offer preset scenes for Original, Podcast, Game, and Sing. Each scene includes optimized audio presets tailored to specific use cases. Select the scene that matches your activity to automatically configure the ideal audio profile. Your settings remain active even after you close the Maono Link software.

Sound Configurations
For each scene, we provide a graphical PEQ interface along with preset sound effect configurations. Please note that these preset configurations cannot be modified. If the effects do not meet your expectations, simply click the "Copy" button to create a complete copy of the current configuration. This new copy can then be tuned on-site. Under each scene, you can create multiple custom sound configurations. These custom configurations can be exported and shared with others.
Similarly, you may import sound profiles (via files) compatible with the PD100W microphone. In the future, we will offer downloadable profiles on our official website for more scenario-based sound effects. Simply download and import these files for immediate use.

Copy & Create New
Within a scene, select "Copy" or "+" from the menu bar to create a custom sound configuration. When using "+", you will be prompted to name the configuration.
When using "Copy", an exact copy of the current configuration will be created instantly. You can rename any configuration via the dropdown list.

Reset
The sound menu bar includes a Reset button to revert any custom configuration back to its original parameter settings.

Export & Delete
Under the More menu, you will find options to:
Export: Saves the current sound configuration data to your desired location.
Delete: Removes user-created configurations permanently.
Sharing
Share your tuned sound files with friends who own the same microphone model. Recipients can import these files via the import function to add them directly to their own scene lists.

Import
To import configurations, locate the "Import" button on the right side of the "My Scene" title bar. Here, you can select and import sound files shared by other creators. Imported configurations will be added to the corresponding scene's sound profile list. Apply any imported profile to experience the same tuning effects as the creator.

EQ Adjustment
Each sound configuration includes a graphical EQ interface. Presets feature: HPF (High-Pass Filter), LPF (Low-Pass Filter) and 5 adjustable bands. Drag any Band to boost or attenuate gain at specific frequencies, tailoring your microphone's sound effects. Each band is preset with Peaking filtering and a Q value. If you need to adjust it yourself, you can open the Band Properties window to modify filter parameters manually. Additional tuning parameters will be added in subsequent releases.
Reverberation
Ten preset reverberation levels are available for adjustment based on your vocal context. To disable reverberation in specific configurations, deselect the checkbox.
⚠️ Note: Reverb function is unavailable in the Original scene.

● Modify display modes.
● Change lighting colors.
● Adjust brightness levels.
Modes
Three display modes are available: Fixed, Breathe, and Loop. You can change the lighting mode in this section.
Colors
We provide eight curated preset colors . Select any color to instantly apply it, allowing seamless ambiance coordination.
Custom Light
Additionally, we offer custom color creation. Select the "+" button to access the color palette, choose your desired color value, and save it as a reusable preset.

Brightness
Adjust RGB brightness directly in the Lighting interface. Note that higher brightness levels directly impact the microphone battery runtime. For extended usage, moderately reduce brightness.

4. Recorder
The default recording format is 48kHz/24bit, PCM format audio. Recorded audio can be exported to your destination folder.
5. Connection and Pairing
To begin, connect the receiver to your computer. The microphone and receiver are pre-paired at the factory. If the microphone is not powered on, Maono Link software will prompt you to wait for the microphone to connect. Simply press and hold the power button until the microphone lights up. The microphone will then automatically complete the connection with the receiver. If the pairing information is cleared for some reason, you need to manually re-pair the microphone and the receiver.
Pairing
Step 1: Connect the receiver to a USB port on your computer or smartphone. The receiver LED will blinks slowly (awaiting connection).
Step 2: Turn off the microphone, then press and hold the power button on the bottom of the microphone until the indicator below the knob flashes rapidly.
Step 3: Wait for automatic pairing. After the receiver is connected successfully, the indicator light will stop flashing.
⚠️Note: The receiver can simultaneously connect to up to two wireless microphones. Depending on your purchased kit (PD100W or T1 Plus wireless microphone), follow the pairing instructions to activate pairing mode. The receiver will then automatically detect and connect to microphones in pairing mode (factory-matched with the receiver).
6. Firmware Updates
Select the options icon in the top-right corner to open the menu. Tap "Firmware Update" here to check for new firmware versions.
Firmware Update
When a new update is available, the target version will be displayed. Tap "Firmware Update" to install it. After completion, reconnect the microphone to activate the new firmware.

⚠️Note: Ensure sufficient battery level before firmware update. Do not disconnect the USB cable or perform shutdown operations during the process. Any abnormal disconnection may cause update failure.
If a firmware update fails, click "Retry". For unresolved issues, contact customer support via the official hotline.
Restore Factory Settings
On the Firmware Update page, we provide the Restore Factory Settings function. This function is typically used during abnormal debugging to revert all parameters to their factory-default state.
