Podcast Equipment Bundle Audio mixer All-in-One Podcast Production Studio with 3.5mm Microphone for Live Streaming, Recording, PC, Smartphone, DJ MaonoCaster Lite (AU-AM200-S1)

This is a very cool audio console for the beginner or intermediate level podcaster OR someone who wants to do some basic voice over work. The "Pro" sound effect with everything adjusted to personal preferences using the included XLR mic sounds EXACTLY like making a recording from a sound booth. This would be an ideal setup for someone recording their voice while reading a script. CONSOLE FEATURES: For the price, it is definitely the most capable console I have used. There are a lot of options here that are not found on others in this price range, and a few that work substantially better. The ability to adjust LO, MID, and HI as well as the recording volume and microphone volume all at the same time is the main selling point for the console. You can't get anything else at this price that does ALL of that and has the extra features. This brings the CONSOLE up to intermediate level, for sure. I had a lot of fun with the different voice pitches, too. The female voice can get glitchy, but if you adjust how you talk you can get a nice effect. If you speak too softly, the audio does sort of vanish, though. The other voice effects sounded fine, though. Robot voice....eh....more like B-Movie Monster. It's not bad, really, but should probably be labeled differently. Some of the built in sound effects are great. Kids cheering, applause, booing, and the crow sounds are pretty useful. Would like to see a firmware update allow you to overwrite these with your own effects, though. That'd be pretty useful. Definitely more useful than only having only four programmable buttons. Music Only, Side Chain, and Loop Back work as expected. No complaints! The De-Noise button, however, cuts words off very abruptly causing some distortion if you have a lot of short pauses and it will take practice to use. If you speak clearly and fluidly, this may not be an issue for you...I, however...pause often... Luckily, with the foam cover on it there isn't much background noise on the recordings anyway. I didn't use the De-Noise button, and I didn't have to do any cleanup in post. The auto-tune works really well overall. I'm not much of a singer, but I imagine this could be useful for someone who wants to do a little bit of music work. There are definitely a plethora of outputs and in inputs to facilitate song production for someone just starting out. My recording software picked the device right up. Output through USB-C to PC was flawless. I didn't have any issue crossfading through the sound effects or music (using my MP3 player). It just worked really well and is pretty intuitive. Big labeled buttons and wheels are a lot easier to understand than thirty tiny knobs like my first console. MICROPHONE: The included microphone is just okay. It's going to give you a voice-over sound, but it isn't anything special. I would absolutely advise investing in either a quality lapel mic or even a shotgun mic or two to pair with this. It has TWO microphone inputs so you can easily set this up for interviews during a podcast. I prefer the audio I get using a powered shotgun mic with built-in gain settings. One thing I want to make note of here is that this does NOT supply enough power to run other XLR microphones through the console and included XLR to 3.5mm cable. I have not tried using this in conjunction with a phantom power supply, however....If you plan to, do so at your own risk! It does provide enough oomph to power basic shotgun mics, desktop microphones, and all other mics natively meant for or compatible with the 3.5mm jack. CONCLUSION: If you're just starting and want a solid audio experience that just works and doesn't have a huge learning curve...This thing is great. This is absolutely podcast making gold, even using the included beginner microphone. If you have a good 3.5mm mic, I can see this being a great upgrade to more inexpensive consoles. If you've got a nice console already, this isn't going to bring you much you don't already have. For me, this is a total upgrade. I'm still experimenting with different microphones, but the console itself is well worth it.

I have tried several solutions for streaming audio mixers, and none of them come close to the usefulness and amazing sound quality of this bundle at this price. First the microphone sounds great for voice, it's crystal clear and has nice rear noise rejection. It's also loud enough where you don't need to be right up on the mic all the time for it to sound good. The mixer has a great noise reduction button that really cleans up any background noise effectively. The ports are all 1/8" TRRS connections except one USBC port. This is also very useful since it will effectively send audio to and from nearly any mobile device. I tested streaming simultaneously to YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram, using 3 different outputs, while using the mic input as well as the music input using a CD player. It worked perfectly! You have a monitor fader so you can hear yourself in the headphones, a separate "Rec" level which gives you independent master volume control over your stream separate from the monitor level, as well as mic and music levels. The sidechain button is a really amazing feature. This is essentially auto-ducking, so you can have music playing and when sidechain is activated, the mixer will automatically lower the volume of the music so you can hear your voice. This is INCREDIBLY useful. The 'Echo' effect is actually reverb, and there are a few different ones to choose from by pressing the effect button. They all sound very decent. The voice changer is a lot of fun and works great. The sound fx are silly, but pretty cool too, and can liven up dead airtime on a stream. If you are a YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, or IG streamer, or all of the above, this is an essential piece of hardware. The fact that it will work so flawlessly with computer, iOS, and Android, and do them all at once is really impressive. 10/10 great device!

There is not much I would change with this kit. I like its simplicity and the user learning curve is short. The sound effects are nice as well as the customizable/programmable buttons. This unit's Bluetooth is really a great feature. I can bring royalty-free music into my streams and offer more professional quality audio. I also added Ghost Power to my XLR microphone. (added a 48volt XLR amp to allow for improved mic sensitivity) I wanted to be able to move around more, not be so close to the mic. This unit supports a shotgun mic, if you have one, that also works well. COOL FEATURES Bluetooth input Programmability Pitch control Reverb control Sound EQ Small in size Simplicity Price Very good build quality Simple instructions Would-Be Even Cooler if this had: Better compatibility - USB A mic input, but it does have BLUETOOTH connectivity Better Mic - or one that includes ghost power (you can add your own to your XLR) headphones - earbuds or inexpensive monitor (yes most of us have them already) The price point overall is very good for what you get. I can honestly say this will improve your streaming fun. The fun factor for me is everything. The only low score was sound quality because it is a low-cost item, and most people would not be able to tell the difference. The sound filter is still very good. a BUY ***** 5-star great deal.

We bought the Maonocaster Lite as a way to introduce our kids to podcasting and basic audio recording, and it’s been really great. The device is very approachable and intuitive, even for beginners, with clearly labeled controls and instructions that make learning audio production doable for everyone. Setup was straightforward, and it works well for simple podcast-style recordings, voiceovers, and experimenting with microphones and headphones. It feels solid for the price point, and I appreciate that it doesn't take up a ton of space. I also want to call out Maono’s customer support. They were extremely responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful when we reached out with questions. It’s refreshing to see a company stand behind its product and take the time to make sure customers have a good experience and can get up and running quickly. Overall, this is an excellent value for anyone looking to get started with podcasting or home audio recording. Highly recommended.

The MAONO MaonoCaster Lite AU-AM200-S1 is an all-in-one podcasting solution that makes recording professional-quality audio simple and convenient. It comes with a 3.5mm microphone input, built-in mixer, sound effects, and real-time monitoring, so you can handle everything in one compact device. I love how user-friendly it is, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced podcasters alike. The sound quality is crisp and clear, providing full control over your audio without requiring additional equipment. If you're looking for a compact, versatile, and affordable podcast setup that handles everything in one device, the MaonoCaster Lite is a great choice.

This item is great when starting out. Easy to use, plug and play, no additional software needed. I have had this product for over two years at this point. The mixer is now randomly turning on the key changer which is causing me to sound autotuned/robotic. Worked great for about a year before this started happening.

We purchased the Maono AM200-S1 in 2023, and even two years later, the Maono team continues to impress us with their exceptional post-sales support. Their customer service goes above and beyond — responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping their users. The AM200-S1 itself has been an amazing product that’s served us reliably since day one. Thanks to the great experience and support we’ve had, we’re now upgrading to the Maono PS22 audio interface so we can record multiple tracks simultaneously. Huge thanks to the entire Maono team for standing by their products and customers. Highly recommended!

So the idea is very interesting with all the preset sounds and connections to phones and all. but here is the problem: -Right off the bet a button for the master volume was popping off, but I was still OK with it -I connected to my laptop to test the mic and it picked up the drivers for it but no sound was detected -It wouldnt detect the output line for the MIC's therefore no sound was coming out -The site has a whole troubleshooting guide for issues like no sound or hidden drivers etc. I followed them all (I work in IT) and nothing -I am wondering if if has to do with the power it gets directly from the Laptop, but everything was lit up I got this product this week, I am going to return it right the way. I hope to comeback here with a better update, but their support team didn't respond and I reached out to them.

non è il massimo per la qualità audio della scheda ma comunque a prova di dummies , facile installazione e utlizzo. x principianti è perfetto.

Also, ob für den nächsten Stream oder zur Telefonie auf Discord oder anderen Apps, es ist für alles bestens geeignet. Die spaßigen Soundeffekte und Voice-Mods runden das Paket ab. Absolute Empfehlung!

رائع

كويس كا بدايه لكن الى يركز و هو بيسجل هيلاقى ان فى زنه بتروح لما اشيل الميك و احطه دايركت فى الكمبيوتر

Super expensive for the value and need more discount I’m so disappointed with it and the mic is so light and sometimes it’s not working properly
