Hey, thanks for this. Quick question for you…how did you connect your phone to the Maonocaster so that you could record the conversation between you and your wife? I’d love to understand how the phone was connected to the Maonocaster so she could hear you and you her and what connection you made to record it all. Thank you!
This is a great unit. If you want a dynamic mic and can't afford the SM7b the FiFine K688 sound great with this unit. The preamp does get a little harsh in the high end at top gain settings and there are two things you can do. You can reduce the highs using the EQ or better yet get a mic booster like the Klark Teknik CT1. That way you can keep the gain down within the better sounding range and still get all the volume you need. This works great for both podcasting and karaoke.
I would like to add an important point. Maonocaster AME2 has a rear button for turning off the led lights and this button also serves as monitoring off feature. When you press once this button it turns off monitoring. When you press and hold it turns off the leds light. Just for your info.
I am looking at this because I already have a cheap Maono Podcast mic that is connected to my computer via USB-C. I use Streamdeck to switch between headset mic, the podcast mic and a virtual mic for Voicemod Soundboard. I am considering using the XLR connection on the podcast mic and using this in addition to the voicemod program for sounds while giving me more control on the mic settings and noise cancellation. As well as I like the ability to be able to connect my phone and be able to play something off of it. Not sure how it will all work together. But i may look into doing it. I will also need to get an XLR cable too.
Thank you so much for this review! i have been eyeballing this company for a while now. i think they fit in what i want to do with my current budget etc
Great video. Thank you. Woo you please post the instructions on where to. Plug in the cable for recoding to an external receiver. Example: mic in or headphone out
Great review...one question my music didn't come through as well as yours did. I could only hear the singer and not really the music so well. Is there a way to adjust this?
Great review! Question, have you been able to connect the E2 to a DAW? I am trying to connect E2 via live output to XLR input of my external soundcard/interface that I use with my DAW. I really only want to use the custom soundpads as a track in my daw to trigger when recording live podcast. The DAW doesn't seem to pick up E2 sounds that are recorded on the custom buttons.
Can I record phone calls while playing music in the background during the call? 😎👍...I just wanna record phone calls with family and friends, not into streaming or hooking this up to pc..wish I can find more videos just explaining phone call recording 😎...but great video I watched it a few times already.
Does anyone know if you can hear yourself as you’re outputting to your computer Example: say you mess with the reverb, and you want to hear what you sound like but also have your friends hear you AND hear your friends
Nice video review. For some reason my Studio One 5 Pro software cannot recognize the product in my audio settings. Would you have any cues for this issue?
The major question. I watch both of your reviews on the Maonocaster E2 Podcast equipment bundle and the Hayner-Seek Podcast Equipment Bundle 554. I'm working with a MacBook Pro and streaming video games. Which is best? Of course, I have subscribed to your channel. 👍🏾
Hello sir I just buy the maonocasterE2 for some reason the volume of the music its to low,also the microphone gets saturation I can’t udjust it ,I was trying to record video on my iPhone,I do karaoke 🎤,it’s that normal?
Great review. Thanks for this. So I did a Facebook live and I connected via Bluetooth and everything worked but the person on the other end not the watchers could hear the custom clips or even the pitch changes. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi there! Thank you for the info and great video! I would like to buy this device for my live streamings. However, I also want to use some of the effects from Logic Pro coming from my MacBook, such as the Antares Autotune. Would it be possible to do this? Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I’ve been debating between the Hayner Seek HS-AP902X and this Maonocaster AME2A, and I think I’m going with this one here… what are your thoughts between the two? I am planning on buying one or the other next week during Amazon Prime sale next week and are they the same , or who has better or most features for the everyday podcaster ….. thanks a lot for this video and advice! 🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘
So I think the mic quality is better on the maono, especially since you can connect a Shure SM7b ( that really surprised me ). I felt it was easier to load custom buttons in the Hayner-Seek and I like that it came preloaded, buts that’s all to your preference. If I had to choose, I would pick the Mano for mic quality and the audio interface is good enough to power pro mics.
I had to watch this about 20 times already lol Question, am I able to use an adapter to use my usb mic? This mic is not it for me. It picks up sound like you show and that irks me. I will get the shure sm7B. For now I am using my Fifine k690 and would like to find something that will make the usb mic work. Thank you
The maono sounds good with the audio recorder but it did not sound that great going through your laptop. i'm hoping it'll sound a little better plugged into my iMac. That'll keep me from getting the maonocaster if it's going to sound like that. however, maybe just pushing it through a audio record similar to yours might be the best bet.
Did you check sound sampling rate on your PC ? When selecting 48 Khz the audio sounds good in recording. If you leave at default level 44 Khz, recording quality is a little bit lower.
Is it possible to Connect a phone with a mix-minus? So the caller hears the ENTIRE mix (mic, music and Sound pad clips), except their own voice…. While I hear everything including their voice in the monitor?
I'm on a couple different podcasts and I have to travel a lot. Currently waiting for my laptop to be repaired. Would you think this would be a good fit to use on a smartphone while on the go?
Good evening, First and Foremost, thank you for the video. I have a question can you record sound bytes using the computer connected to the mixer? I would like to use sound effects and wanted to know if the sound has to come from the mic or can you connect this to a pc and play sound in the pc and record it on the device? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What confuses me is why they have the outputs where you connect line in. Wouldn’t those also be inputs. Also the Bluetooth was still connected between the phone and the caster, so what actually caught the audio? The Bluetooth connection or the output 1 connection?
Can more mics be connected to have guest or another host? And if so would it be a mic with a 1/4 jack connection,also what app 9r website can be used to go live online
Hello. I would like to use a condenser microphone (XLR) and a dynamic microphone (p2) at the same time. Can I leave the 48v on? And how many dB do I have to put?
I bought this product but when I connect the output to a speaker it doesn’t sound high quality though I’m using a high quality microphone. Is there something I’m not doing right?
Soundpad. Preciso saber como instalar son prontos no soundpad, seja de 20 segundos ou de 1 minuto. Mas minha ideia é fazer uso de vinhetas para podcast. Portanto é possível eu adicionar vinhetas ao soundpad? Ou ele grava somente minha voz?
So it plays the functions of what you press out loud. Is there a way to mute the function of it reading everything you press out loud? It is actually a handy and unique feature. But just wondering if its mutable.
I need your help LO. Is there a PODcast setup with voice changer ( Deep voice and high voice ) that plugs into my iphone for Tiktok and FB live as well as podcasts? I notice that most of these are PC based. I have a nice mic and an adapter going into my Iphone but no controls, no sound effects and no voice modulation or compression. I need your help quick! Thank you sir.
I have an ame2 sound card, but no matter what I do, the noise never goes away. I always get a noise from the microphone. Ame2 is a nice xlr cable and I use PD200x, please help me.
Hey man great video! I currently use a RodeCaster Pro but I’m looking for something a little more portable. I have a few questions. #1 could I plug the usb-c cord from the machine to my laptop and use it as transmitter for streaming? #2 On the Rodecaster pro, I’m able to plug my TRRS cord into my phone and record video with out having to edit in a software. Is that something this machine could do? Great video again, and think this could make a great follow up video!
Great video. For some reason my sound effects or anything with Bluetooth are not coming through on my videos. I can hear them fine on my headphones. My audio from my microphone comes through perfectly also. I've tried several different usb-c cables and various connection combinations and still nothing. I looked through the settings on computer, so I'm not sure what the issue is. What am I doing wrong or did I miss something on set up with my computer?
maybe use the headphone jack as the output instead of the usb port. Something about bluetooth and internal sounds seems to be routed out to speakers but doesnt go through internal sound system that plays everything
Hello, love ur videos, I'm on a budget & plan on starting my podcast soon with this Maono mic...however I'll be using the FDUCE mic as my primary & would use this Maono as the secondary for guests on the show, do u think I can use a XLR to 3.5mm to plug into the Mic 2 port on the Maonocaster E2 which will allow me to record through it once it's connected to my MacBook?
Also, if I wanna use a USB microphone that would be plugged into the USB port on my MacBook Pro while I’m using the Maono or FDUCE SL40 microphone in the Maonocaster E2… would Garage Band be able to record everything? Meaning… the mic that’s plugged in the USB port and everything that’s plugged in the Maonocaster E2 which is also plugged in the other USB port?
Hello. My friend and I want to start a podcast, but we don't have a lot of knowledge about the subject. However, we really want to do it as it is an event we've been wanting to do for a while. What kind of microphone should we choose for a beginner level? Do we have to choose a model with an XLR input? Or will the quality of our recordings increase "wow" significantly compared to USB models? Our budget is a maximum of $500. If you have any models or setups you can recommend, I would be very happy. Thank you
I'm using it with my BM800 but with phantom power. It works very well. You have to select the MIC switch on rear according your needs. I selected it with 50db and it works quite well with this setting. If you use Phantom Power with BM800 it will work flawless. Just try.
@LoKnows having a problem going live only using my iPhone and a tablet for background music but I have to use the BT when I use auxiliary mode it don’t pick it up and I use phone plugged to back of sound card I hear everything I’m supposed to Buuuutttt on my live stream No one hears anything that I hear from headset..I’m using a 8pin to 3.5mm headphone jack to connect my phone to sound card can that be the issue ? Because I hear music sound effects Everything but when I live stream NO ONE HEARS ME FROM SOUND CARD ITS LIKE IF I JUST HAD MY PHONE ALONE THEY HEAR ME REGULAR PLZ HELP
I just got this but Im very sad about the monitoring latency!! I just cant get to hear my own voice in the right time so it feels weird and I dont like that
The Maonocaster E2 is a definite upgrade from its predecessor as well as the mic. What do you think?
Hey, thanks for this. Quick question for you…how did you connect your phone to the Maonocaster so that you could record the conversation between you and your wife? I’d love to understand how the phone was connected to the Maonocaster so she could hear you and you her and what connection you made to record it all. Thank you!
Just bought the Maonocaster and this is my question too.
how to use the Maonocaster? Not E2.....
The sound coming out your videos is excellent. Almost better then the shure microphone and expensive setup interface… thank u sir
This is a great unit. If you want a dynamic mic and can't afford the SM7b the FiFine K688 sound great with this unit. The preamp does get a little harsh in the high end at top gain settings and there are two things you can do.

I love you. This was the only video set up that I could understand with my pea-brain, and now it works great. thanks bro
The best review I have seen this far, so complete! Thanks bro!!! Now I know how to use what i bought 🐦❤️
Rings wife...wife answers WHAT..wife realises she's live..OH HI,THANKSALOTT BYEEEEEEEEE. Wow. Great vid btw brother, mucho appreciato.

Thanks so much for the review.. but I’m looking at how to connect it with an external speaker

Not sure how it will all work together. But i may look into doing it. I will also need to get an XLR cable too.
Is there a way you can show a video on how to connect the MaonocasterE2 to the Scarlet2i2 4th Gen?
Thank you so much for this review! i have been eyeballing this company for a while now. i think they fit in what i want to do with my current budget etc
Great video. Thank you. Woo you please post the instructions on where to. Plug in the cable for recoding to an external receiver. Example: mic in or headphone out
Great video, thank you. I would like to know more about using your smartphone with the unit to record phone calls when plugged into the laptop.
I would like to know more about this as well.
Thanks for this tutorial. Bought a Maono E2 because of this great video
Great review...one question my music didn't come through as well as yours did. I could only hear the singer and not really the music so well. Is there a way to adjust this?
What do you think in regard to maonocaster vs. the hayner-seek?

Do you recommend this for signing karaoke 🎤?

I have an older version of this. Im glad they had a 48v xlr port. Is the moanocater am100 better than this? The one with the 2 ports xlr?
could you provide feedback whether you were able to connect a blue yeti mic? I'm having trouble
i just bought this unit but i can't get the music out in the live streaming. Can you please help me
Would you recommend this one or the hayner seek one you reviewed previously
What did you use for video? Did you have to sync in premier or something?
This is similar to what I have, but it is not the maona lite. Good and helpful video just the same. Thanks.
I can still hear the HISS! 😅 is the Yamaha ag06 better?

For the custom pads / buttons, can you load wav or mp3 files to them?
Not directly by the file but if you play either file while recording it'll copy the audio
Hello. I would like to use a condenser microphone (XLR) and a dynamic microphone (p2) at the same time. Can I leave the 48v on? And how many dB do I have to put?
If I’m using screen cast-o-magic to record videos will the voice equalizer work to tone down my voice?
What about the camera? Do you have to do everything in post production in terms of syncing?
What is the best (easiest) way to voice record Off a phone call via the computer? if you are doing a interview podcast not live
Can you connect this to a Zoom H6 to record instead of a laptop?
Yes you can.
I bought this product but when I connect the output to a speaker it doesn’t sound high quality though I’m using a high quality microphone. Is there something I’m not doing right?
When I play music I can hear it in the monitor output but people on my live can’t hear the music I’m playing via Bluetooth
Ok so it can just work with a iPhone if you don’t have a lab top?
Great vid! Thnx bro! Subscribed
Hi,What camera did you use to record this viedo? one camera or two camera?
2 cameras. The gear I use is below but it’s a canon c70 for the main and a R6 for the top
Hi, my question is, are we able to add the USB-A microphones?
Soundpad. Preciso saber como instalar son prontos no soundpad, seja de 20 segundos ou de 1 minuto. Mas minha ideia é fazer uso de vinhetas para podcast. Portanto é possível eu adicionar vinhetas ao soundpad?
Ou ele grava somente minha voz?
Does it have latency (delay) in headphones from the microphone? Thank you for the answer, I am looking to buy it but not sure of possible latency

here's my question tho, is it stereo? I don't think it isn't gonna be stereo even with an OTG from the maono to the iphone
Hello, love ur videos, I'm on a budget & plan on starting my podcast soon with this Maono mic...however I'll be using the FDUCE mic as my primary & would use this Maono as the secondary for guests on the show, do u think I can use a XLR to 3.5mm to plug into the Mic 2 port on the Maonocaster E2 which will allow me to record through it once it's connected to my MacBook?
Hi! Yes it should work. Especially since you are using the Maono mic as mic 2.
@Lo Knows Tech Thanks much Chief!
Can u do a in depth review of the FDUCE SL40?
Also, if I wanna use a USB microphone that would be plugged into the USB port on my MacBook Pro while I’m using the Maono or FDUCE SL40 microphone in the Maonocaster E2… would Garage Band be able to record everything? Meaning… the mic that’s plugged in the USB port and everything that’s plugged in the Maonocaster E2 which is also plugged in the other USB port?

Can I use It with BM 800 microphone ( no Phantom power) or this microphone (with 48V) sounds better? Thanks
