Is it possible to use a XLR splitter for 2 xlr mics? It would be nice to be able to do a portable podcast for 2 people.

[@jenuds]

Yes it works. Please remember if you connect condenser and dynamic, with the same mic volume - condenser mic would be more powerful and louder than dynamic mic.

just a question why do u need to connect to phone, i'm just curious what is the purpose of the phone

[@jenuds]

You can connect a phone for streaming or recording or as a source for background music. In this video, I’ve connected a phone for recording.

[@MarkusWITH_a_k]

Can I use the maonocaster inside my car to record podcast moving from site to site

[@jenuds]

Yes you can use your car speaker to contact to this sound card.

If i want to use this purely for karaoke, where is the output to speaker?

Use the headphone output.

[@user-ju5sf7dz6m]

Can it be used with maono AU A03 mic

[@jenuds]

I don’t have that mic. Just looking at the picture, it looks like you will need an xlr male to female cable then turn on 48v phantom power on Maono c2 neo

[@al68nashville]

cant hear music in phone when playback or hear reverb through mic.

[@jenuds]

That normally happens if you don’t have the right adapter to your phone like lightning or usb c adapter. The adapter that I knew that works so far is from apple store and that’s what I used on my videos. Are you using an iPhone or android?

[@al68nashville]

have a android and using usb c @@jenuds

[@al68nashville]

@@jenuds its a usb -c belkin brand connector

[@jenuds]

@@al68nashville I don’t have it so I can’t do test. I presumed it’s not a right one coz it only record your Raw voice from the built mic of your phone. If it’s the right one, it should record what you hear on your earphone.

[@GhostGamerican]

Im struggling with my headphones there not playing any sound when i pit them in the headphone jack it plays no sound

[@jenuds]

Perhaps you accidentally turned off monitoring. Please watch 13:25 timestamp in this video

How to connect phone call for remote interview?

[@jenuds]

I have not figured it out yet. I would love to make a video on it as soon as I find out.

[@jenuds]

Here is a video for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJvImKOErb6jkKMsi=NwkQj85M7CeWqN9T

[@shareign1]

I do have a condenser mic but it’s a USB not the XLR one. Which adaptor or what can I do to have it connected to my maonocaster C2 neo?

[@jenuds]

Currently, I don't know yet what kind of adapter works to convert a usb mic to XLR. Sorry about that.

[@rickkennedy1655]

I've seen on many of these reviews about using a smartphone for music, but can you actually bring in a phone call (such as a call-in) for a two-person podcast with one person on the XLR microphone and the other person on the phone call? Does the TRRS cable provide the capability for the person on the phone to hear you? Thanks to anyone that answers.

Can c2 neo connect with smule app 🙏🏼??

[@jenuds]

Yes it can.

[@HeyMacky]

Everything works except for sidechain and loopback, what could be the problem? I tried to connect this streaming mixer on my computer and phone, same result.

[@jenuds]

I suspect it’s deffective if sidechain doesn’t work. The use of loopback feature if you connect maono c2 to your laptop where you record/stream plus music playing on the same laptop. If loopback is on music will be recorded or heard on your streaming while if Off-music will not be recorded.

[@HeyMacky]

@@jenuds When Side chain is turned ON, I can hear it on my headset that its working but when I record it (not streaming) through OBS, it doesnt work at all, the music level stays the same when I talk.

[@jenuds]

I have not tried maono e2 yet on obs. I’m new to OBS. I just downloaded if yesterday. Did yo make sure to select maono as your input and output audio source?

[@HeyMacky]

@@jenuds Yes I put Maono C2 Neo as my default input and output source, everythings works fine (reverb, noise reducer, pitch presets) except for Side chain and Loopback. For the Loopback, even if its turned OFF I can hear the music playing on stream and in recording lol

[@purukol0422]

1st to watch,before to plan if going to acquire😊 V9x to this?😊

[@jenuds]

It depends on your needs. Maono c2 neo has xlr mic port, You can add customized sound effects and you can turn off direct monitoring. V9x has 2 mic port but no xlr port. Lots of preset effects but you can’t edit or add.

[@kinzangthinley2725]

Hi I have ordered this from Maono and got lost. Would you suggest and sites where I can order. The reason they say is my address is wrong which I think is correct. Thanks you

[@foxhoundra64fr]

Hello, I am having trouble understanding what the "stream out" 3.5mm port is used for. I assumed since it can be used for a second stream output, that it was similar to the "headphones" port but when I plug my headphone 3.5mm jack into the port of "stream out", there is no sound at all.

[@jenuds]

Yes it’s a stream out or live output or for recording you can connect your device for streaming or recording from that port. It’s not same as headphone/earphone output.

[@foxhoundra64fr]

@@jenuds I just cant seem to get any sound from the "stream out" hopefully you can help me out!

[@jenuds]

Are you trying to record to an iPhone or android? If iPhone, is your adapter from Apple Store or original? Coz that could be the issue.

[@foxhoundra64fr]

I am using the NEO with a 2 PC setup, one for games and one for streaming OBS Studio

Can it be overcharged or can I just keep it plugged in all the time

[@jenuds]

Not sure about that. I’d recommend unplug when not in use or full charged.

[@randomrachel1232]

Can you do how to use for smule? Also rode nt1 5th gen?

Does it have a delay when monitoring?

For me, it’s either I don’t noticed it or I don’t mind if there is.

[@harpreetsinghmoga]

THANKS for Good Review. Eco effect Manually Adjustable ?

[@jenuds]

I’m glad to share. As far as I know you can only pick the preset reverb or vocal mode but you can’t adjust the echo. Maono E2 or Am100 can do that.

[@harpreetsinghmoga]

@@jenuds Thanks.

[@jenuds]

No problem

[@spambryan17]

Smule approved, I assume since its almost the same function as its bigger brother the AM200?

[@jenuds]

You are right.

[@Serenahitch]

Which mic?

[@jenuds]

You can connect Dynamic or condenser microphones

[@Serenahitch]

@@jenuds hi thanks I was wondering which one u used cause the sound was quite natural. There’s so many to choose from. I want something to capture the lows and not too much mid

[@Serenahitch]

@@jenuds also I might want Laval we mic. Do u recommend one. The one h used was also good and picking up the low tones in ur voice.

[@Serenahitch]

It's not possible to reduce amount of reverb ?

[@jenuds]

As far as I know once you’ve selected a preset Reverb, it’s fixed. You can adjust reverb on Versions - Lite, AM100 and E2

Connecting Guitar to Headphone or AUX doesn’t work for me. Your option is to buy an xlr splitter so you can connect both mic and guitar.

@@jenuds Thank you

[@MarTv007]

Bakit po kaya di napasok ung audio pagnagrerecord ako tama naman po ang connection ko video lang wala yong sounds pano po ba dapat ang gagawin😢

[@jenuds]

Common issue sa mga iphone users ang issue is the adapter. Most likely po lightning adapter ang issue. Kahit d po kayo magsalita kahit try nyo pong mag magrecord ng sound effects from v8, kapag d magrecord, meaning d sila talaga connected. D lang po ako 100 % sure. May nag message po sa akin dyan sa Pinas na yong lightning adapter raw na supports calling-gumagana raw sa pagrecord. Kayo po if gusto nyong magtr at return nyo nalang po or exchange if d magwork. Sa Apple Store po ako nakabili ng adapter kasi yong nabili konsa amazon d rin gumana sa pagrecord.

[@KuyaPillow]

may latency po ba sa monitoring?

[@charleswright5455]

Also I have a am8 mike can I use that

[@jenuds]

Of course. You will need xlr male to female.

[@charleswright5455]

@@jenuds I appreciate that very much thank you again awesome videos now I know there’s a feature that says you have to press the one button if it’s a condenser microphone, mine is not, so do I have to press that button?

[@ishakadriansyah8085]

this device needs to be charged and connected to pc with 2 different port, so if u plugging the usb c to computer via data ports, the device will die in 5hours maybe, imagine doing streaming and it cuts mid streaming

[@jenuds]

Thanks. You are right.

[@MrChangeordie]

😎👍 Can i record phone calls using just Machine and phone? Thank u

[@jenuds]

It is possible if your phone can do 2 things at the same time like Record while having a phone call. I heard newer android phones can do that but I don’t have it yet.

[@MrChangeordie]

@@jenuds yes. ..thanks for replying. I do have a h2n zoom recorder just didn't know if It would work if I plugged it in the line out port, I will figure it out 😎👍

[@jenuds]

Sorry about that. I’m just looking at at the picture of h2n zoom recorder on the web. It looks like you will have to connect your phone to the live port or live stream port of C2. I think you will have to connect a different mic to connect to C2 other than your h2n so you can use the voice effects from maono c2. Now from headphone/earphone port of C2 - connect it to the Line in of your H2N recorder and start recording from your h2n. You can just monitor the audio by connecting a headphone from your h2n recorder.

[@MrChangeordie]

@@jenuds Awesome!!!!! And thank u for taking the time to do all the videos on these machines 👍😎👍 I believe ur method will work = I screen shot ur message to reme down the road when I get this machine. Thank u 🙏

[@jenuds]

Hope it works. Good luck

[@GalfiRobertionut]

When you record the effects are losing...

[@jenuds]

So far for the other sound cards yes but with this Maono c2, I can still here the vocal effects while I’m playing the music as well. Try to listen that part again. Or you should select valley as it has more reverb when singing.
