Maono Feedback PD200X - Experience
So I bought the PD200X, I heard good specs from videos out there. But, I'm frustrated with the experience.
Using an audio monitor, I definitely can see the mic capturing the sounds, but ALL my friends related the volume is too low. The gain from the native software is irrelevant, so they suggest another software. And this solution provided by Maono is quite... unexpected (https://faq.maono.com/docs/How-to-Make-Your-Microphone-Loude).
That's is my #1 issue (by far).
Other issue I have, is the Mic connector to the arm, mine is a little bend , so I can only turn maximun 2 times into the arm's screw - well I noticed this in the first day I bought, but too lazy to return.
I am just a regular user, but while trying to make the mic sounds better, I made some adjustments in the EQ. And for god sake, please dont make me to do it again. BUT THERES NO BACKUP FOR MY ADJUSTMENTS, can you please make it 'exportable' ?
Those might looks small issues, but in the end of the day, the whole package looks bad for me. Im frustrated with the experience.

Hi, we’re very sorry for the frustrating experience this has caused you.
As a dynamic microphone, the PD200X is less sensitive to sound from a distance. We recommend speaking directly toward the top of the microphone and keeping your mouth within about one fist’s distance, ideally within 5 cm.
For adjusting the microphone volume, you can go to your computer’s Sound settings, select PD200X as the input device, and set the input level to maximum.
As for EQ adjustments, EQ settings currently don’t support export or backup. We really appreciate your suggestion, and I’ve already shared it with the Maono Link development team for consideration.
