- Pretty incredible little device. The all in one aspect, the mic and the features it has really makes this something to consider. Good effects, sound mixing and the all around aesthetics. Very impressed.

I appreciate you man. Im focused on making the best content I can at the moment! Hopefully we can grow soon 😬
Maybe the best review I have seen on the Maono Caster
I appreciate it! I work really hard to make the best video possible every single time :)
Im using this for a year. Amazing product
I had been planning to buy this stuff. Thanks to these infos maaan. It really helped me a lot understanding the product. Especially about that sideschain button that's enough for me to buy this set up. More power to your channel bro. 👊
Hopefully its everything you need it to be and I'm glad the video was useful to you!
@@Nickyo would you recommend this for making your own music
Looks like it might be a fun addition for someone just getting started. 💯👍🏻
Very clear and useful info. Can I use the Maono with better quality microphones? Thank you in advance
Awesome review. I'm sure you will get loads of subs in no time . I didn't know I needed this until I watched this . New sub ,🤝
Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed it and glad to have you here 🤝
Thnk u buddy for such a gr8 vdo on this gear. Quite helpful this is ! 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
bruh why do you not get more subs, you deserve at least 300k
Heyyy I appreciate it, maybe someday. Just have to keep working hard to get there :)
@@Nickyo No problem, keep at it, ur work will pay off, the subs should just flow in naturally, ur production quality is rlly good
It is a great little device for my once a week livestream great review you showed me a few things I did not know about it.
I dnt judge you by your followers really its amazing
I appreciate you for judging the quality and not my overall size 😬
Hello. Im stuck here. So after i connect it to my computer. It got no sound at all. Do i need a speaker connect to it? Thanks
You need to add these to a recording software like audacity
Amazing !!! Great quality as always
Yes sure this maono caster its really good works easy i bought one and also i content to used this equipment because easy to use i can use dual phone together and live stream in youtube and also i can sing and use karaoke for this i love this
I am having a issue setting mine up. I want to have my phone calls sent to my computer with this so i can record them. I want my computer sounds and the person i am calling come through my head phones. Is that able to be done with this. Any help would be great.
Could you please inform me, is it possible to connect Maono AU PM420 USB microphone along with any mixer, to get connected to Amplifier box? How it will be connected??
Just bought it for my podcast but when I listen to the playback the sounds aren't there. Anyone know what im doing wrong?
Saaaaaame! What are you broadcasting on?
@@Itsmepreshap If you mean what app I use anchor for mine(The All Over Podcast) if you're asking what computer I use a lenovo ideapad
@@real_true_boss3236 ah ok…I wasn’t sure if you tried IG or tiktok
Gracias, tengo algunas dudas.
¡Tal vez puedes hacer un video o hacer la prueba y comentar como te fue, me ayudarías mucho, por favor!!!!
¿Se puede recibir una llamada celular mientras el celular está conectado a la Maonocaster (mediante el cable de audio que viene incorporado con la Maonocaster), escuchar a la otra persona (llamada celular normal, no por internet) por los audífonos conectados (como monitor) a la Maonocaster y que la otra persona (en la llamada celular) me pueda escuchar y también escuchar música de fondo que previamente conecté desde la PC mediante otro cable de audio a la Maonocaster?
I find when I turn the monitor slide up even a TAD, there's a rhaspy noise that wont go away. I cant hear anything unless I turn the slider up buy then there is that noise. I used a usb type c converter to record through ankor on my phone, is that maybe the issue? Id love some feedback.
My mic works with my laptop. But the effects won't play. Music won't play threw from my phone
Same! Do you stream with it?
I have tried to stream with it. Sometimes it works. But most the time it doesn’t work with my phone. My computer wouldn’t recognize it most the time.
what’s the best recording software to download on my pc thats compatable with this thing ? i am trying garage band since that’s what came with the computer , but when the audio comes back on it it doesn’t sound like what i’m hearing in the headphones . any input would be much appreciated 💯
For audio honestly I like audacity, for video OBS!
Hi. Question about the mic, can it be plugged into a audio interface using xlr to xlr cable? If yes, do I need to turn on the phantom power or not? Thanks. 🙌🏻
It cannot, there is no xlr input and no phantom power sadly :(
Very very nice and usefull video... Thnx.. best wishes for 1 million subscribers soon...
Appreciate the thought and glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you!
You’re very welcome 😬
@@Nickyo I have just received my Maonocaster Lite A200 and it came with three wireless Maono WM820TX. Can you please tell me how to connect them? No instructions came with the package. Much appreciated!
Is there anyway to disable the voice that comes back into your headphones? Like after you say something can u just here the desktop audio and not what you say?
Do I have to turn on the music volume all the way up to gear the predetermined effects
Hello, somebody knows how I can to stop hearing Myself when I use mic on my live stream?
Can I connect a usb mic with a USB adapter? (USB to jack 3.5mm)
so does this push the sound from your computer to the headset? i want to use this for gaming. does the monitor slider adjust all PC volume? Or only raise and lower how loud you hear yourself in your headphones? if im playing a game or something am i forced to adjust sound volume from the windows taskbar?
Get a Xenyx 302 USB that's what I use
I only have the cheap sound card V8. Do you think it is good to switch?
Thank you for this very good review.
Have you tried this on an IG live or tiktok? Can viewers hear the effects in real time? (Mine can’t)
Theres a work around with 3rd party software for lives but I find it super sketchy and never really tried it - Im sure there are guides on youtube on how to do it (adding a 3rd mic to a live)
@@Nickyo Interesting! I haven’t seen any videos at all. Guess I’ll be returning it.
Wait a minute, does the lite version have a mic included inside of it???
Know this is an old video but I need to know how to set this up with a scarlet solo, and how to connect it to Audacity and place the sound effects into my audio.
Can someone please do a complete setup video using the Scarlet Solo interface, and get the sound effect audio into Audacity....Thanks!
Hey bro, would connecting a podmic via RCA output on my UM2 be possible?
Damn thats a question I was not expecting, honestly no clue. Maybe to an aux port yes but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Great video! Just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you :) Glad to have you here!
i have a question, can you conect a Phantom Power Hügel 48v?
Id honestly not recommend it, not 100% sure how it would perform
Awesome Video,
but i have one question i hear my self taliking how do i disable that
You need to lower the monitoring slider! Thanks :)
Can you use this to podcast on your iPhone only on anchor?
Yes!
Hi! I wanna ask coz im a bit confused on how I'm going to make the music work for my live stream. So I actually used my laptop for background music and phone for live stream . But when I go live my audience can only hear my voice but not the music. Pls help me
I’m having the same issue! Have you figured it out yet?
@@bentleycoupepolo5226 yesss! I did. I just connect its Bluetooth to my laptop and turned on loop back from the soundcard. It should works perfectly fine after that 😊😊😊
Hey brother. Awesome tutorial. I have a 48V Phantom Power Supply, you think I can use it and connect it to maonocaster so I can use any condenser mic I want? Appreciate the reply
Hey man, sadly it doesnt support 48v - The product description actually says verbatim "The included microphone is forbidden to be used with phantom power" so I'd honestly not use the 48v power supply!
can record with camera i phone?same time with effect on maono?
Great vid!
Does the sound effect audio lower when you speak into the mic? I’ve heard the effects are pretty loud
Kind of but not something thats terribly noticeable!
I wanted to review this thing so bad; I'm planning on starting a podcast soon and thought I'd try this before dropping that 6 hunny on the Rodecaster Pro. They wanted me to buy the unit first, then refund me after the video. We TH-camrs gotta stop companies from this practice. Anywho, excellent review and video....keep it up.
I’ve been eyeing that rodecaster for a loooong time just can’t commit to it :( Yeah I understand the feeling about companies and have relegated to that practice occasionally. Small content creators, mainly new ones jump at the opportunity to get hardware, especially if its “free”. I appreciate the kind words and managed to fall in the drone rabbit hole after watching some of your videos as I just bought one 😂
@@Nickyo Awesome! What drone did you get?
I went a bit overboard since its my first one but.. I got the Air 2s 😬
@@Nickyo Nice, you got one of the best ones out right now lol.
Can we connect it to pc
If yes, than show how to connect.🙏
Its usb, I was using a pc
@@Nickyo but how to connect the mixer please make a vedio . To how to connect maono master lite to pc in detail.please bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Nickyo thanks bro.
Okay you sold it to me …. Plus smashed that 🛎 & Give you a Big 👍🏼…. Cheers for your time and effort….👍🏼😉😎💯👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed the review and happy ti have you here 😬
if you can respond does this work with the shure sm7b
It would not. The shure sm7b is incredibly power hungry and this would not have enough
I’m having such a hard time getting the audio into my recording … When I play the effects I can hear it after I’m done recording. I’m using my iPhone to record
You cant hear it while monitoring but after the recordings done?
@@Nickyo So while I’m recording, if I press an effect I can hear it through the headphones, but when I’m done and I listen while replaying my recording the effects aren’t in the playback. I hear it while I’m recording, but when I stop and listen to it back it’s not there
@@Nickyo sorry for the typos lol. Should’ve proof read the first comment
Do I need to buy a separated mic or my headsets mic will work?
It comes included with a mic
Would I be able to use this through zoom, Skype, and/or Google meets?
Yes!
@@Nickyo Thank you!
How would this work with a OBS? Looks awesome. And thanks for the review ☺️
Like any other interface you just have to choose it as a microphone input! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Is this any good for doing voiceovers for videos? How do you record?
I personally have a higher budget setup so I dont use this in my videos, however for an entry level recording you can use it to add different effects for voiceovers rather than doing it in post. It works as a DAC/Interface which you can just add to any recording software like Audacity
@@Nickyo thanks. I’m still new to this and learning. I have videos that I’m going to upload, just want to add voice explaining throughout the video. I’ll have a look at some apps to do this.
One more question if able to assist, if I do LIVE streams/ pre record and upload, I’m stuck on what screen/ views my camera should be on for viewers. I don’t have ability to switch cameras like most.
@@jamiepenney3720 I highly suggest Audacity, its free and very simple to use, you can choose what interface you're using and control it accordingly! Hope the voiceovers go well!
Just got it. Doesn't sound great. It's pretty inconsistent. Good gift for a kid or someone really needing to save cash. I've had mine for a day and im already returning it
hello, if i dont connect a headphone to the console, can i use the audio output of my pc/computer?I only have bluetooth headphones
Yes
@@Nickyo thank you
Where to Buy in India?
It's not available.
Does anyone Idea?
Pls share link or contact for 1st hand, 2nd hand or refurbished also would do.
Try ebay, sometimes you can get lucky!
You earned a subscriber. 👍
I appreciate you 😬
How would I go about connecting this to my game console?
Hmm thats a bit tricky, what console?
Nice review. So clear
I appreciate it :)
Does it have a mute option? (In one click)
Not really, you can use the slider to mute though
@@Nickyo ok thanks :)
Can I connect my camera to this mixer and record through it?? Awesome video BTW!!
You can use something like OBS and add a camera and this as a microphone/mixer! You cant really connect youre camera directly to the caster!
Question , can I use this for my Shure mv7 mic? Thank you 💜
Technically yes, not quite sure how much gain the mv7 needs or how the quality would be but yes.
@@Nickyo Awesome thanks for replying back , do I need to buy another cord for this because I have a USB cord it's not a Circular cord it's a square cord for my mic if that makes sense , do I need to buy a Adapter cable? Thanks this really helps 💜💜💜🤘🏾
The interface comes with xlr to 3.5mm cable so you should be fine, youll need to use the xlr port on the mv7!
@@Nickyo Thanks man u really helped! 💜u deserve a Sub 💜
What about if my mic is maono au-pm401, can i still recording?
That mic in specific is a usb mic, this is a 2.5mm to xlr interface so sadly no
One of the best content ❤️😍
❤️❤️❤️
is it good to do music?
Why do u have to press the loop when recording?
No clue, but the actual instructions tell you to 😂
How do you mute?
7:10 what about streambeats originals? They’re not just instrumentals
Ill be real with you, and it’s just a personal opinion; Streambeats lo-fi is amazing, I’ve been consistently using track from white/gold in all my content, but their more recent music hasn’t really sparked my interest :(
@@Nickyo while I don’t listen to rock/metal what I meant was it had lyrics which is the opposite of regular streaming. Now that I said that I don’t even think they were out back when the vid was made lmao
uh i have a wierd thing with it, i can't talk into it when i use it in a discord voice chat. does anyone have a solution?
Have you changed the input settings on discord?
@@Nickyo i don't know what i have to change, i got it connected through my astro a50 but it doesn't pick anything up on discord but it does work on like twitch/streamlabs-obs odly..
Go to settings -> voice and video -> input device and change it the what you need hopefully that works
Do you hear yourself when you plug your headset on the maono caster?
Yes thats what monitoring is!
Want one of those!!!
Can i use any boom arm
can u pls tell me how to make it play somthing from youtube in ome tv pls>> itry more times but pepole did not her the sound from youtube>>> so pls can you tell me how>>make video and uplode it to youtube with recording from ome tv>> im waiting for u
IMO it’s really dumb that it doesn’t have software, and it’s also kinda stupid how you can’t program the included sound effects because as a content creator and a streamer I’d like to use every single part of it, my streamdeck is good it just doesn’t have sliders or jobs which sucks and maono does some pretty good stuff for what their products cost, I’ve got a maono USB mic (been using it for about a year) and I’ve had no issues with it at all, it’s the 422 version and I even got their headphones which sound very good for the price. I hope they consider fixing these because it’s the little things that can throw everything off, I mean they literally make USB mic so I think having an adapter or just 1 USB port on it where you can plug your mic in to make it work would be really good and I also find it good that they offer Bluetooth support and that’s pretty damn cool however what if I don’t want to use my phone but my Pc to control audio? I could use my streamdeck to control my phone that’s connected to the maonocaster that’s connected to my Pc, which is just way too many steps for it to be a smart idea, instead what would be amazing is having software that you can chose which application or audio device is playing your music and then import that to the caster using the USB C to use the same features as if you were to just use Bluetooth normally such as the one that lowers audio when you’re speaking, these little things really just threw everything for me, I really did want to get one of these since I wouldn’t want to buy a goxlr since streaming and content creation is a hobby for me and that would be a bad move money wise, I guess I’m expecting a lot out of this product? But then again it’s so close to what I’m describing and im not so sure if they’re trying to be a mixer but what I’m sure about is they’re trying to be a lot of stuff in 1 product but not good in all of them equally, I guess you could say they are the jack of all trades but the masters of none (obviously not none but the bad kinda outweighs the good here). I also think it’s truly amazing that they made it battery powered and made it so you can stream from and to your phone but them focusing on that kinda makes me think they forgot the people using their PCs (which would make up more of a percentage of people when it comes to streaming) don’t get me wrong because this thing is damn amazing, I can’t name a single other product that offers the same capability for phone streaming but thinking about it most apps that have the option of enabling camera when you stream or just recording a video on your phone with the camera app will automatically pause any audio rendering the feature kinda useless when it comes to what it was somewhat aimed for, mobile streamers, which is where it would benefit Pc streamers more or just content creators in general, this product IMO offers something that I don’t think anyone else is tackling which might seem dumb but when you’re going into a new market you’d probably want to do it as best as you can so when bigger names join the game you’d already have a decent and well built product that can battle and might even do better than them. And again, this is very clearly aimed at people who have not invested a lot or do not want to invest a lot into professional equipment for something that they consider a hobby or not sure if they want to continue and pursue. If maono pulled an apple and made it so all of their products can integrate so seamlessly and clean and then they offer low priced but pretty decent and well made/built equipment the small streamer or content creator will look at it and will consider going for the maono product rather than gl bankrupt buying all the expensive gear people who do this for a living do.
One of the best if not the best feature that the elgato mic offers isn’t that it’s a decent mic but it’s the software it comes with, since you can only use it with the elgato mic that’s why you’re gonna stay stuck in that loop while maono they can play it different, they offer a lot of mics and all of them are different and aimed at different people however if they have a software that could act like a hub of some sort for these products and then introduce stuff like this caster or a mixer any small streamer who bought their mics to start will see the mixer/caster and will consider getting it since it’s cheap (you can buy it without the mic for cheaper) and they’ll get so much out of it and get used to it and the software that they just won’t want to change it, instead they’ll just upgrade to a better maono mic so the software still supports it and maybe get a bigger maono mixer (a product they might want to release later) which would cost more but have the same integration which pulls the customer into an ecosystem and it’s basically just like if you’ve been using IOS or Android for your entire life, why would you want to change your operating system? You’ve already gotten used to it, your phone isn’t bad and if it is you’ll just buy the newer or more expensive one, and everything software wise is the same from the cheapest to the most expensive one. IMO this is a good business model because if done correctly the customer will be locked into it and that would generate maono profit but also loyal customers who would go spreading the word (obviously with some marketing from their end too, which for the record is either really bad or doesn’t exist because I’ve never seen a maono ad).
I currently use voicemod for the sound effects and voice changers etc and I use voicemeter as a mixer just because I want to route my audio through different channels so I can manually or using my streamdeck do basically what this product is doing except if this product was good enough at its job then I see this flying off the store shelves like how gpus are flying off the shelves right now, I don’t know how to suggest what I said in this comment to maono but I sure do hope they see this and consider it.
Props to you for finding a way to criticize the product without completely undermining its value. Everything you mentioned from software, usb usability, as well as all around ecosystem integration are actually things I've mentioned to my contact at Maono as ways to improve upon this device. Frankly I think its very early in development for the company and just by looking how the market is changing it's easy for us consumers to want a single product with the best (or a mixture of very decent ones) features from all the companies in the space. If you ask my opinion on the device as a whole, I think it targets a very entry minded niche since this is the "lite" version of the "Caster" as well as facing the market as a versatile "Portable all-in-one" rather than a device for streamers specifically. Time will tell, especially with the developers at Elgato listening to the community and having a pretty big interest in streaming/content creation. For now, I know Maono is also listening to their customers as they're making some changes to this device specifically (which ill touch in a few weeks) swapping some of the ports which were made useless.
But thank you for broadening my view on the device with your comment, even though I'm just a "reviewer" it really helps having another take on something which I might have missed!
@@Nickyo thank you for your reply! I’ve read it and I do hope they listen to the suggestions, imo even if the product is new I still think having a software or somewhat of a ecosystem at the start will make it easy to integrate more products into it and you can always update the software.
On another note,do you have any idea about what the requirements for becoming an “influencer”/reviewer for maono? I can’t find any numbers on their website but I’ve sent them an email and they asked me to link my TH-cam channel so I linked my other one yet they mentioned nothing regarding a minimum of suggested follower/sub count, I’d really be interested in giving them suggestions considering I’ve been using their mic and headphones for almost a year and I’ve got some of my own thoughts on some of their other products
would this work with a 2 pc stream?
Technically yes
@@Nickyo so i can send both pc’s audio and make it come out together so my obs can hear it?
Make video on thermaltake rgb ram cover.
Thats a good idea! Ill try to get my hands on it soon!
@@Nickyo thank you bro
Great video,
Great.. Is it work work with pubg mobile?
It does with all games!
Does this work with discord?
Yes it does!
I want to go on Instagram live , do i need a headphones ro hear what ppl say back to me
That looks pretty cool
All you guys reviewing this product just go through and press all the buttons and turn all the knobs. No one has went through the trouble of how to set it all up and get it running with obs /slobs. And get it functioning for streams.
The thing is it’s not really marketed for streaming rather podcast, music mixing and as a sound card. But I do understand your point and I probably should have added a slight obs interaction so I do apologize
I mean no one has even said if the usb is only for power or does it actually Interface with the pc for audio to and from the caster lite.
why can i hear myself thorugh my headset
You probably have the monitoring dial so you’re monitoring whats coming from the mic
490 lets go
Leeeeeets gooo! 510 left for this years goal 🙃
@@Nickyo you will get there i belive in you will see you in the top 😉👌
hallo
is it good to do music?
Yes!
