MAONO DGM20S USB Condenser Microphone with RGB, Tap-to-Mute and Boom Arm

For gamers and streamers who need a microphone for clear team communication, the MAONO DGM20S combines focused voice pickup with quick controls for muting and adjusting mic gain. Its cardioid pickup pattern is designed to capture sound from the front, making it a practical fit for voice chat, streaming, calls, and content creation.

The one-touch mute button and gain knob put everyday audio adjustments within easy reach. A 3.5 mm headphone jack supports zero-latency monitoring, so you can hear your voice as you speak.

Connect it to a Windows PC, Mac, PS4, or PS5 using the included USB or USB-C cable. The microphone is not compatible with Xbox. Maono’s noise cancellation software supports additional noise adjustment on Windows.

What matters most

The DGM20S is built around straightforward voice control rather than a complicated setup. Its one-click noise reduction helps reduce unwanted background distractions, while the cardioid pattern focuses pickup toward the speaker. That combination suits team chats on Discord, live streams, and calls where you want your voice to remain the focus.

The gain knob lets you adjust mic input directly, and the one-touch mute button makes it easy to pause transmission during a game or stream. For monitoring, connect headphones to the 3.5 mm jack and listen with zero latency. Buyers often praise its sound and noise reduction, and appreciate the color-changing lights, feedback on the boom arm’s durability and PC connectivity is mixed.

Everyday use

The included metal boom arm makes it easier to position the microphone near your mouth, then fold it away when you need more desk space. A desktop clamp attaches the arm to the desk, while the shock mount helps reduce vibration and game-related mechanical noise. The removable pop filter helps reduce plosive sounds without blocking the screen, keeping the setup usable during gameplay or recording.

RGB lighting adds a customizable accent to a gaming or streaming setup, with nine lighting modes to choose from. Long-press the RGB button to turn the lights off for a more restrained look. The white finish offers a clean visual match for setups where a bright microphone fits the surrounding equipment.

Getting the most from it

Connect the microphone to a supported computer or console with the included USB or USB-C cable, position the boom arm, and adjust the gain to suit your voice level. Plug headphones into the monitoring jack when you want to hear your input while speaking. The tap-to-mute control is useful for brief pauses, while the RGB button lets you tailor the lighting to your desk or turn it off.

The set includes the condenser microphone, metal boom arm, shock mount, pop filter, desktop clamp, USB and USB-C cable, and user manual. Its plug-and-play design is intended for use without installing drivers, and the microphone can be used with OBS, Twitch, and Discord. Maono noise cancellation software is available for Windows for more detailed noise adjustment.

When it makes sense

Choose the DGM20S if you want a desk microphone that combines voice-focused pickup, accessible mute and gain controls, headphone monitoring, and an adjustable boom arm in one setup. It is especially suited to gaming chat and streaming, where easy control during a session and a microphone that can move in and out of the way are useful. Compared with a basic desktop mic that stays fixed in place, the boom arm gives you a more adjustable position, while the RGB modes add a customizable visual touch.
