help Maono AU-400 FAQ

Does the Maono AU-400 use USB-C or a 3.5 mm plug?

The AU-400 is commonly sold as an analog lavalier microphone with a 3.5 mm TRRS connector for phones and tablets. A USB-C adapter may be needed on newer devices, and the exact adapter compatibility should be checked before buying.

Will the Maono AU-400 work with an iPhone?

It can work with iPhones that accept an analog headset microphone through the correct adapter. iPhones with Lightning or USB-C ports do not have a built-in 3.5 mm jack, so the adapter must support microphone input, not only headphone output.

Is the Maono AU-400 suitable for recording video?

Yes, its clip-on design is intended for speech such as interviews, tutorials, and phone video. Because it is a wired analog microphone, cable handling and the phone’s adapter quality matter more than with a wireless system.

What is the difference between the AU-400 and a wireless Maono microphone?

The AU-400 uses a cable and does not require a battery, radio receiver, or pairing process. Wireless systems such as Maono’s WM-series products provide more movement but add batteries, a transmitter, and a receiver.
