Good thorough review and demonstration. I have been saving my pennies for the Rodecaster Pro....that thing is 6 hunny, but feature rich. This one might be a good starter unit. Gave me something to consider.
Fantastic and very open heart review. I am an artist/designer/teacher too. You've given me proper direction for my purchase. But don't know why now a days this product isn't available online. Instead the toy like version (AU-AM200) of it available. You are lucky to have this one.
I am VipTevB a freshcaster (podcaster) creator and host of The ClimaX with VipTevB, let me tell u I have now invested in this equipment. I am yet to feel disappointed
When recording into adobe audition, is there a way to split all the mics and phone, etc. Right now I see if I do multi-track I get separate tracks but each track records both mics and phone/music. They are not separate, even when I select the mono option or line 1 and line 2 etc?
Nice video, thanks. Could you do a video on how to download your own soundeffects from the computer into the box? Is it possible to replace the pre installed sound effects with your own? And how long can the soundeffects be? Thats what I would like to know :-)
The only reason it took 3 months because I brought it through Kickstarter, meaning...I was the first to fund this model before it was produced, now that is is on the market, you can buy one immediately 😁 Just click on my link above to get a 10% discount 👍🏾
Question : I have this Soundcard it works well but one thing everytime I use the voice changer like baby or woman or robot it will play but whenever I go to play the video recording back I can’t hear any of those like I can hear it change my voice to those at all , is their something wrong with the soundcard? Or maybe I have something connected wrong? Please help thanks 💜
What annoys me about this device is that it doesn't have any EQ. The "Lite" version (which doesn't have any XLR inputs) has some rudimentary EQ knobs. Nothing fancy, but that kind of thing can help take some of that audio processing load off my computer while livestreaming. Why wouldn't they include that functionality in the XLR version? Good video though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
hello I have a little concern about my maono au am100, because once the battery bar is decrease, then suddenly the battery bar is increased in a while, even though i did not charge it...pls help...
I have a Mac which I plug it into for recording. It needs to be connected to the computer for recording. But I thing you can plug it in to other recording devices as well. I just have not tried it. I would check on Maono’s website
Its REAL shame that noise gate is a button. If they would replace it with "Treshold" knob i would buy it right away. And if they would add additional "Release" knob ... oh man i would buy two of them to make sure im backuped in case of some failure/break.
That is a strange one, because if your output from the Maono, is captured by your computer sound card, it should also capture the phone audio as well. If you are hearing it in your Monitor it should be recorded. I wish I could of more help🥴
@@paulaikenphotography Hello Paul. I found the solution. You must select the Maono input under audio inputs. I don't know why I didn't think to check there!
Agreed, this is what you get from China. Even their own website leaves a lot to be desired on their systems. Just to click on About on their site. They talk about as guy named Alex. like we all know who this guy is LOL. if MAONO means Vision in African, then their vision should have been to buy a RODECaster Pro first and make something else like it that did more.
The audio quality is determined a lot by my environment, which is has a lot of echoing. I deliberately did not clean up my audio in post to show raw recording. But it could easily be corrected. I did have my mic a little too high, there was some clipping. 🤦♂️
@@paulaikenphotography I think the issue is the Maono condenser mic. I got mine with it too and frankly it's just not a very good mic. The pre-amps in the Maonocast aren't awful (not as good as the Procaster but it's much less expensive too) and if you're looking for a good inexpensive dynamic mic (which means you likely won't need the noise reduction) try the Behringer XM8500 or BA85A or the SuperLux TM-58. The Maonocast has plenty of gain for any of those. I wish they had included some EQ (even a hi-lo eq would have been nice) and a pan left right
I am using the microphone that come with this set. The lavalier that is connected to the mixer. I am not using any enhancements in post. Just the background noise reducer on the mixer. My studio space has an echo. :-(
Its not a phantom microphone, its phantom power. Its either a condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphone.. You made a mistake there with ur graphics and wording.. Great video otherwise.. Its not an auto tuner its a guitar tuner for tuning ur guitar..
The quality and volume of this microphone is terrible. It is impossible to listen to it. For children, OK as a toy, but not for a streamer. This can scare the audience away
I didn’t think so. Now please note. I did absolutely no editing with the sound on this video and my recording “studio room” area does have a lot of echo. 🥴 I wanted everyone to hear the raw recording

Thanks, if you are just starting, I would highly recommend this instead of the Over priced Rodecaster for sure 😏😏

tq for sharing how to use Laverlier microphones i almost forgot adapter must use on Laverlier microphones.

Glad to hear 😁👍🏾 I will check out your Pod👊🏾
Nice video. Can you do a video to show how to load the sound effect from the computer to the maono
Folllowing...

Hello, could you please tell me if it is compatible with the RODE NT-USB+ microphone?
The site is SOLD OUT!!!
can you please make a video on how to record a custom jingle I can record for the maono ?
Nice video, thanks. Could you do a video on how to download your own soundeffects from the computer into the box?
Is it possible to replace the pre installed sound effects with your own? And how long can the soundeffects be? Thats what I would like to know :-)
Actually, the recording does not record speakers when you have speakers on. Its quite Good
i would like to know the setup on the computer especially Mac
Oh my 3 months!!! Well worth it tho.

Can we use the Maono AU-903 Microphone to Maono AU- AM200 Maonocaster Lite? Thank you in advance and looking forward to your kind reply.

Great box, an how do you download the sounds effects from the internet to the box?
i think you're talking at the back of the mic. i can see the logo peeking at the mic's windscreen from here.
Im realy censurering buying this thing.
Do you know if its good enough to use as a sound card for recording music ?
Hummm, I have not tested it on recording music. Only for podcasting. Sorry I can’t answer that ☹️
@@askanolderman ok. Thank you anyway:)
Hi, is it possible to charge while using?
Thank you for this video. Can I use this with Shure MV7?
I don’t know that particular microphone, but it has a 3.5mm or TRS output, it will work on this box. 👍🏾
I asked many shops, they said this am100 can work with Shure MV7 via XLR.
is it compatible with obs studio?
friend, the maonocaster needs to be connected directly to computer or needs a sound board?
I have a Mac which I plug it into for recording. It needs to be connected to the computer for recording. But I thing you can plug it in to other recording devices as well. I just have not tried it. I would check on Maono’s website

True, but I am sure it would add to the price 😏
Sfx are so. Loud same with my smaller soundcard…
It has noise while talking? Scratchy sounds while on noise cancelling?
Hey Fab, No, not that I noticed.
I am having an issue with my phone audio going into my computer. I can hear it in my monitor but my garage band isn't identifying it. Any ideas?
That is a strange one, because if your output from the Maono, is captured by your computer sound card, it should also capture the phone audio as well. If you are hearing it in your Monitor it should be recorded. I wish I could of more help🥴
maybe u use wrong cable
@@paulaikenphotography Hello Paul. I found the solution. You must select the Maono input under audio inputs. I don't know why I didn't think to check there!
*My brother you have to buy Electrovice RE20*
I will check it out, I don’t know it 🤔🤔
How do you upload
Must be honest here the audio quality sounded really poor to me

16bit / 48khz?

*I got both and rodecaster is better, Maonocaster can't record*

Nope! I hear noise when you are speaking through the cheap podcast unit. Don't know the price, and don't care. It SUCKS. Sorry. Just being honest.
Hello, could you please tell me if it is compatible with the RODE NT-USB+ microphone?
I have never tried it with the Rode, so I really can’t help, so sorry. I would suggest going to the company’s website and ask 😊
@@askanolderman thx 😊
