Maono PD100 Review / Test (vs. SM7b, Podmic, XM8500)

Today I review a budget dynamic mic which costs only $50; the PD100. This comes with a mic, stand, and xlr cable as well. It offers a V-shaped sound with a dominant bass and low mid section, scooped mids, and an aggressive boost in the presence and treble region.
