nice review thank you . here are my 2cents. for the price it is pretty good. the effects on the pitch are way better than the most in this price range because they used lower % for the effects. the sidechain and reverb is really good and if you use a mic that isnt that gain hungry as the shure sm7b the preamp is awesome ( btw not anyone can afford a shure anyways or even a shure sm7Db ) I would say. If you want something cheap, that is more than good for the price and you dont want to become the next pewdiepie, it is very good. If you want to start a business and have money like crazy, go with the rode mixers for a few hundred, a mic for a few hundred and a pc for a few thousand. I guess it depends what you want to do with the device.

@ObscureMics 11 дней назад

I agree in ways....as it is useable at the least. The C1 Neo I like more

@fnswrestling 4 месяца назад

100% agree with your "tells" for a soundcard masquerading as an interface. I was hopeful for this one too...someday...

Hello Sir. I just reviewed and tested my Maono G1 yesterday. It came early from Maono store in China and they shipped really fast here in Philippines. I also noticed that a little distorted voice when you turn ON the Noise reduction. 😅it sounds like something in your mouth. So what im doing, i dont max it to level 2. By the way, some problems like that phone signal sound isnt evident during my test. However, i am using a Yamaha Ag06 for recording and live streaming and all I can say, is i dont have any problems encountered from it. Infact that Yamaha has amazing and clean output. In Maono G1 The monitor is yes, a bit nasally sounding. But there is also a little muffledness. I know its not as perfect as that of Yamaha which i have, but for the price 45$ is also okey. Im using it for singing in live streaming and that reverb is a big help for me. Anyway, thank you for this review. I can attest that you encountered what I encountered also. But its not a big deal for me , knowing its so affordable. 😅thank you and have a great day!

@ObscureMics 2 месяца назад

Good post Yeah it’s hard to be too picky for $45 And yea the Yamaha is such a great device

BATTER, BATTER, BATTER, SWING! ... and....... they struck out. LOL I actually like the design of this and the RGB stuff... ya... I admitted it... LOL. In one way I don't get why these companies do not design and make these devices to meet functional requirements. I would imagine there are plenty of sources for real world quality input on those requirements. I suspect it is a functional difference in how they process information based on their culture and understanding of how they perceive "how the world works" or "what the world wants" based on what information is available to them. Gotta remember they are not exposed the unabridged real world. Their information is filtered and censored in some instances. IDK ... just trying to figure it out. Thanks for the information Bark.

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

I’m 99% sure they are just using the same cheapest parts in new form factors. Which is just awful

@JoseOnTheAir 4 месяца назад

Honestly until these "streaming mixer interfaces" can sort out proper latency free monitoring, they're DOA. What good is added features like sound pads, line in, etc. if you aren't accurately hearing back what you're outputting?

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

Bingo Jose…bingo. With good interfaces starting at $50…these devices are indeed dead on arrival

@JoseOnTheAir 4 месяца назад

@@ObscureMics yeah features are fun, but let's focus on at least matching the Behringer UM2 with monitoring and a decent preamp and go from there

"Oh so and so is making a thing like this and we should get a slice if that pie" is the mentality that results in products like this. I wish they would throw their resources at doing something different, even if the resulting product wasn't perfect for us mic nerds it might be perfect for SOMEONE.

@Steve_241 4 месяца назад

That's a good point bro, and it's also something that most brands have to consider. As for MAONO, they developed some good softwares that make their products perform better. I appreciate that.

@nerddeconsumo 4 месяца назад

The bad monitoring is a deal breaker for me. I don't know why they can't make a device with latency free monitoring. Is that too much to ask? Even cheap mixing consoles can do that. Shame on you Maono! Thanks for the review!

@ApexLodestar 3 месяца назад

You just saved me like $50 on Amazon. I was thinking of getting it but it reminds me too much of a crap audio mixer you reviewed that requires the 48V of Phantom Power to always be on for microphones to work. I now use that mixer as a background RGB prop. Waste of $20 but at least the RGB looks nice.

@ObscureMics 3 месяца назад

That’s a great idea to use these things as background candy. Glad you saved $50….i gotta try to recoup half of it at least 😕

@nerddeconsumo 4 месяца назад

Does it have an internal Battery? I didn't see any battery level indicator.

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

No internal battery - the c1 neo is much better

@CBono21 4 месяца назад

which do you recommend between the neo geo 1 or whatever this thing is called or the fifine SC3?

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

The sc3 is a better device IMO

@selw0nk 3 месяца назад

This seems way better than the FiFine Mixer.

@ObscureMics 3 месяца назад

The Fifine to me is simpler and executes what it’s trying to do …. The main factors to me in why I’d go with the Fifine are the Maono having that faded in and out mute button and the maono is a little noisier IMO

@knowyourjoe8826 4 месяца назад

BTW from what I understand the Vocatser 2 is pretty tough to beat for the money. I don't know about any Vocaster issues or which models the issue(s) may be applicable.

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

The vocasters won’t go above -3db output….like there’s a permanent limiter on. Which bothers me 0%

@knowyourjoe8826 4 месяца назад

@@ObscureMics I personally don't understand why this is an issue. That being said I am just learning about audio. At this point I figure if the levels are loud enough to be heard clearly with being limited so that ithey do not get too loud then I don't see where the issue is. It seems it would great for those new to content creation and actually help them to make sure the audio is workable with little experience. But like I said before I am just learning myself.

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

@@knowyourjoe8826 I’m on that hill will you…. I think most consider it to simply be broken sing you can’t distort it if you want to.

@LordBoyd 4 месяца назад

I want to get into content creation. I was looking at getting the maono mic and mixer kit for $130 which is the PD200X dynamic microphone and the G1 neo but after watching your review I'm having second thoughts. You seemed to like the noise reduction on the neo which is a big factor for me since my room is very noisy. Do you have any recommendations on a mixer around that price point $60-$70?

@MicDatDude 4 месяца назад

Bro I bought a sound mixer from moano paid $80 bucks. Its was ok but if felt I was missing something. I finally realized that I was gonna need another device to go with it for video. I did my research and the Streamer X was what I needed. With tax was able to get it off amazon for $380 but it will be your all in one bro…good luck with your content creations.

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

It really depends on what you are doing. If you yourself have no need to hear exactly what your audience will hear…and value the noise suppression above all. This will work well It does work, and it has some good options….it just has some really big cons FOR ME

@ObscureMics 4 месяца назад

This maono device is better IMO for $50 amzn.to/3R15xXh

@LordBoyd 4 месяца назад

@ObscureMics Awesome thank you, I plan on doing some streaming and making some gaming youtube videos. The streamer x seems to have everything I would need but it's a bit out of my price range. I'll save for a few months and probably pick it up. Now I have to do a deep dive on mics. I've already watched you videos on the fifine k669d, PD200x, and the feel world PM1. Thanks again and keep making awesome reviews. they are really helpful
