The media could not be loaded. This MAONO caster AME2 is loaded with some great features. This is especially useful if one is planning to venture into podcasting as I find its features to be useful.Some of the key highlights which make me buy it are that it offers good microphone connectivity and the denoise button is super especially when podcasting in a less quiet environment like outdoors or even in a busy house. In addition, the prerecorded audio notes option is cool and the fact it supports Bluetooth it is easy to connect phones, speakers, laptops etcI found the battery life quite good and it's compact and light to fit in a bag so very travel handy.I like the option of playing prerecorded audio notes. This is as simple and easy as it gets and requires just plug and play. The BlueTooth is enabled which is great to connect with an iphone or iPad.You need to use it for a while and spent time with it to get used too with its features and benefit, finally, I would like a recording function that would be helpful.Overall a great good quality product.

The media could not be loaded. The MaonoCaster all-in-one podcasting audio interface is an excellent piece of equipment. It's small and lightweight, with microphone inputs, multiple outputs for tablets and smartphones, a studio monitor, an instrument, and more. It's well-made, has an appealing design with colourful lights all over, and is simple to plug and play. With a variety of built-in sounds, customisable sound effects, and audio fine tuning options such as pitch, auto tune, reverb, tones, and more, it truly enhances the audio recording experience. I use it with Audacity, and I can sculpt the sound to my liking right from the interface. Overall, if you're a podcaster, streamer, content creator, or singer, the audio interface has a lot to offer because it gives you so much control. The Bluetooth function is great for sending audio/music from my phone and allows me to have background music while doing my voiceover.

No frills audio interface. There is a little noise from the deck, but not enough to put me off.Need to play with recoding levels to get your sources sounding good. Good interface for computer and XLR mic.

I have been a hobbyist music maker and podcast creator for a couple of years now. Music making is just for fun, and podcasts as part of my work. I have a fairly decent set-up at home for what I do, which already includes a similar audio interface as this MAONO Caster All-in-One.This MAONO came really well packaged. Inside the branded box, the interface was surrounded by good thick protective foam padding. Also in the box were a few cables (unfortunately I could have done with another USB-C to USB-C, but I did have some spare in the house), and an instructions booklet, and an infographic quick guide. On taking the interface out of the box, I was impressed with how light in weight it is compared to my other device, and it really does feel like it could be very portable (although it is a shame that it doesn't come with a sleeve or bag to keep it safe when using it out and about).The instructions manual is okay, but I think it could do with being a bit more detailed, with some additional illustrations. However, with a few minutes of playing around, I was able to connect the interface very quickly to my MacBook Pro, and set it up with Logic Pro. I do not have an XLR microphone, so I just used my standard mic instead. Just out of curiosity, I did try the Bluetooth out with my Apple iPhone 10, and the connection was very straightforward. I have a lightning-connected microphone and AVR X Pro app for recording on my phone, and I was able to play around with recording my voice and using the MAONO Caster.Going back to using the plug-in microphone, I was impressed with the sound quality. Normally I would record straight into Logic and was a little daunted by making the sound go through the. MAONO interface first, but there was no drop in sound quality.Playing around with the knobs and buttons was good fun. The reverb is really easy to change, and the control knob is really good at incremental changes (no sudden changes which can happen with some other devices I have tried). I have still yet to play around with this device as it has tonnes of potential that I have yet to realise. It is currently listed at £199.99 which is similar in price to my other device, but this MAONO device does come with Bluetooth which my other device does not, and therefore this really is worthy of 5-stars.
