Product Overview

The PD200W wireless microphone is Maono's next-generation desktop wireless microphone, compatible with the T1 Plus wireless lavalier microphone for collaborative use. Designed to adapt to diverse environments, it supports seamless switching between outdoor and indoor settings.

Application Scenes

Configuration 1:

Using two PD200W microphones together is ideal for dual-host podcasts or streaming. Two content creators can each use one PD200W, sharing a single receiver. The audio from both microphones feeds directly into your live-streaming platform, without the need for a sound card, greatly simplifying your setup. You can adjust individual microphone volumes directly on the mic itself. For specific needs, you can even copy settings from one PD200W to the other with a single button press, dramatically streamlining your audio tuning.

Configuration 2:

Pair the PD200W microphones with a T1 Plus wireless lavalier microphone. Use the lavalier microphone for recording during outdoor livestreaming or video recording, then seamlessly switch back to the PD200W upon returning to your studio. The wireless lavalier microphone offers superior convenience outdoors, while the desktop mic delivers high-quality audio in your studio.

Learning Maono Link Software

Maono Link software provides DSP controls for microphone adjustment. You can configure any connected microphone through its interface. The adjustment panel offers controls in three sections: Basic, Scene, and Light. The Basic section contains the most common settings. The Scene section allows you to choose different microphone effects. The Light section controls the mic's ambient RGB lighting. When you need to configure a different microphone, simply select its corresponding tab at the top of the control page. The target microphone will flash its lights to help you identify it.

Product Functions

1. Basic

The basic section includes the most commonly used functions by users, such as gain, headphone volume, noise cancellation, and monitor output. These can be adjusted quickly and intuitively.

The above image is for illustration purposes only.

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.

Microphone Identification

When using dual-microphone kits, distinguishing between microphones can be challenging. The software interface provides dedicated "PD200W - 1" and "PD200W - 2" tabs. When you click on a specific tab, the corresponding wireless microphone will automatically blink to remind you.

5. Connect 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's LED blinks slowly (awaiting connection).

Step 2: Turn off the microphone, then press and hold the power button until the indicator light below the knob flashes rapidly.

Step 3: Wait for automatic pairing. The receiver's indicator will stop flashing when connected successfully.

⚠️Note: The receiver can simultaneously connect to up to two wireless microphones. Depending on your purchased kit (PD200W 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).
