    • I'd Say It's A Very Good Toy - Or A Reasonable "Starting" Point for an Amateur
Size: AME2
If you're new to multitrack audio, this is fine. If you're looking for a way to toss in some fun sounds during Zoom calls and co-op games, this is pretty much perfect. If you're looking to record audio for your podcast or YouTube channel or etc, this is decent. But if you're looking to record really professional, clean, high-quality audio through this, either from instruments or microphones, look elsewhere. The mixer on this is pretty janky, it's rough and has very little "fine" control over the actual audio levels, the sensitivity just isn't very dialed-in. The EQ knobs on the primary line in (for low, mid and high frequencies) have too much overlap to make a significant difference in the timbre of the audio passing through, the frequency ranges aren't isolated enough. The pitch knob doesn't account for Formant at all, so it's just a really cheap-sounding effect reminiscent of a children's Halloween voice-changer. The phantom power causes a noticeable "hiss" in the background, at least for my mic (which does NOT hiss when plugged into a DBX tube channel strip or even through a Shure inline preamp). The Reverb effects are all really similar and all really overbearing, there's no solid difference between them other than their EQ and even applying them subtly sounds really cheap - it works much better as a "joke" effect than anything serious. And the AutoTune feature is really dreadful, it barely works and there's no "soft" way to apply it, it basically just makes your voice warble a bunch and you sound bizarre, but you don't really sound "in tune". Furthermore, the sample buttons are SUPER finicky - the "short" sample buttons can actually play much longer clips than the manual indicates, but they ALL interrupt one another. So if you're playing one sample (short or long) and you hit any other sample button, it cuts the first sample. The buttons also work inconsistently and I can't think why. If you hit a SHORT sample button and then while it's playing you hit it again, it restarts the sample. If you hit a LONG sample button (the three that play 1:10 of audio) and then hit it again mid-play, it stops the audio. If you hit short OR long, and then hit a DIFFERENT sample button (short or long, doesn't matter), it starts playing the new sample. If you hit a long sample, and then double-hit the "repeat" button designed to make the long samples play over, it cuts the sample short. That "repeat" feature by the way? NOT seamless, there's a very noticeable half-second or so when it replays, and if that's gonna be there then there's no reason to have a repeating sample. If you can't make it seamless, why not just have it be LONG? The only reason to make it repeat is for background noise/music, but if there's a big "gap" in it then it's pointless to do that. Maybe the most frustrating thing (besides the hiss in my audio) is that all the samples you put on those buttons have to be RECORDED "live" onto the buttons. You have to route a line into the interface, either via a cable or via Bluetooth, then you have to "clear" the sample button by holding it down until it flashes, then you have to hold down the sample button for THREE SECONDS (with no countdown or anything indicating when it's actually gonna start recording) and when it starts flashing then you have to quickly hit "play" on the audio you're trying to record, then you have to hit the button AGAIN to stop recording (or just let it play out and have a bunch of empty space after your sample, which is sloppy). The problem here is that there's likely going to be a second or so of empty space BEFORE your recording because it actually starts recording just a tiny bit before it starts flashing to tell you it is recording. So between when it starts recording and when you realize it's recording and hit the "play" button on your sound, that empty gap stays in the sample. So, if you're doing LIVE audio and trying to pepper in sound effects off-the-cuff, your little sounds will be on a little DELAY from when you hit the button. It's "minor", but it's such a sloppy problem to have and SUCH an easy fix. What this thing should have done was include a sound-import function. The thing plugs into your computer already, why wouldn't there be the ability to access the device's internal storage via your computer and drag the audio files you want directly into it? They could have made software for it to give you much better control, but if not that, they could have at LEAST just made an internal folder structure with folders labeled "Long1" "Long2" "Short1" etc and then you could drag mp3's and wav's into the folders. I mean, even something like an APP (since the soundboard connects to Bluetooth devices, like your average smartphone) where you could import clips and edit them and assign them to buttons, etc. In that same app, you could adjust the reverb feature to make your own presets instead of their terrible ones, too - why not? Also, minor point, but it's REALLY annoying that you're expected to record pro audio with this... and every time you hit a button that adjusts something (like the autotune, reverb presets, loop back, and DENOISE button) there's a lady's voice that very very loudly declares that you've just hit that button. So you can expect halfway through your recording when you realize that the Denoise isn't on, you'll hear IN YOUR RECORDING some stranger's voice loudly blasting into your microphone "NOISE CANCELLING, ON!" right overtop of your vocals. But here's the kicker that really turned me off - and to be clear, I STILL use this thing, I don't hate it, this just really amazed me - the thing only works with battery power!!! It has an internal battery that has to be charged via USB... and the USB that it plugs into the computer with DOESN'T COUNT!!!!! You have to plug in ONE cable for the data (to actually USE the thing) and a SECOND cable to POWER IT. You can run it for a little bit on battery, but it doesn't last very long and it's a dumb problem either way. This thing so quickly becomes a cable-management headache, between having the power cord, the data cord, the mic cable, and anything else you want to plug into it. You're better off getting an inline preamp for almost all cases, because then in ONE cable connected to your mic, you're sending your mic into the computer and powering it and getting better audio quality all at once with one line. This thing is a glorified toy. I still use it, because it's a fun toy, it livens up Zoom meetings and makes my TTRPG sessions more fun because I can just toss out little joke effects here and there according to what my character is doing. But it's absolutely NOT a professional tool in any way whatsoever, it needs a couple more iterations before anyone should consider it for professional use. ... show more

    • Pretty good little mixer if you know what you're getting.
Size: AME2A
Review Image by Dana Minyard Dana Minyard
I needed something compact and portable to provide better audio quality for the Zoom broadcast of the spiritual community (I hesitate to call it a "church") meetings I attend each Sunday. I did some research and decided to take the plunge with the MAONO MaonoCaster AME2A. After a few months of use, I'm pleased with the results I get with this mixer. As long as your expectations are realistic, for the price, it does the job. I worked for 20+ years in broadcast television as a studio/remote director for news and entertainment events (largest music event I did had over 65,000 in attendance), so I'm well familiar with high-end professional equipment. Needless to say, this ain't that, but it checks the boxes for what I need. Some feel that being battery-powered only is a flaw, but if you make sure the device is charged and bring along an extra power bank or two, you'd be surprised how long it will last. The audio sample tracks are a feature I didn't think I'd use, but it turns out I have. Recording samples is easy. If you plan ahead (and you should ALWAYS plan ahead; poor execution is usually the result of poor planning), use small stickers: the reusable kind that are easy to peel off, and label what each sample button does, it's a nice addition. It's been said elsewhere in these reviews that making adjustments results in an audio prompt - such as "noise canceling off" when you turn that feature off - that overlays your audio, but I haven't found that to be true. You do hear the prompts in your audio return, but on test recordings/meetings I made prior to first use, I don't hear them in the final product, nor did the person connected to the test Zoom meeting. It always pays to understand fully what your device is capable of or not before using it in the field; it can save a lot of headaches. To sum it up: if you're creative, you understand what this device is and is not, and you're accustomed to problem-solving on the fly, you can squeeze a lot of functionality from this inexpensive little mixer. ... show more

    • Pleasantly surprised, but maybe not for dynamic microphones
Size: AME2A
After trying my fair share of cheap (and not so cheap) USB microphones and having no luck, I realized I would have to bite the bullet and get an XLR microphone. That meant I needed an audio interface, and those definitely aren't cheap. I tried the Scarlett whatever it's called, but was disappointed when it didn't add enough gain to my soft speaking voice. This is for a personal project, so I didn't have much of a budget -- frankly, I only got this because I got a good deal over the holidays. I'd never considered it before since I had no use for all of the extras on this one. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this works really well. After months of searching for something that would work for me, I finally found it. I did have one technical issue (which no one else seems to have, so I'm nearly positive it was a one-off), but I reached out to Xibo and they sent me a new one within a week. Good product, great customer service. Will this work for everyone? Of course not, but for what it is and at this price, it's a solid buy and I am very happy to have found it. (The microphone it comes with is decent, but I ended up with the FIFINE Dynamic K688.) EDIT: Removed a star because it turns out this doesn’t have true phantom power. It will power a condenser microphone, but it will NOT power a gain booster for a dynamic microphone. This cuts the versatility of it nearly in half. This can mostly be addressed in post, although I would prefer not to have to do that. ... show more

    • Great help from customer support team
Size: AME2A
The setup was working well. I bought an adapter to connect it to my iPhone. It was working well but we experienced an issue with the live option of the device. After reaching out via email, Cassie replied right away. She gave me instructions to troubleshoot and try to figure out what the issue was. An update was needed but didn’t support iOS products so we found a different solution. I was very satisfied with the support that I got and now I’m able to use the device again. Everything’s working well. Thank you Cassie! ... show more
