AM200-S1

The AM200-S1 is essentially both a mixer and audio interface in one, much like TC Helicon’s GO XLR, but at a much lower price point than both the GO XLR and GO XLR Mini. The AM200-S1 looks great, and is a little larger than I expected, but feels very robust and premium. The front of the device is taken up by all the various dials, faders and buttons, and definitely looks the part. The faders and dials feel really good, with a good amount of weight to them, so it doesn’t feel like you’re pushing thin air – they actually feel like they’re doing something, which isn’t always the case with faders. There are 12 buttons in the center, 8 of these are pre-loaded sound effects (applause, laughter etc) and the bottom four are available as custom sound effects. To the right of these you’ll find your effect/action buttons: Effect, Pitch, Music Only, Denoise, Loop Back and Side Chain These perform as you would expect, pitch changes the tone of your voice, from a female, to a male, to a baby, to a robot and so on, whilst effect changes the output style, and denoise removes any unwanted extra sound in the room. And for the most part, these work really well, and are fun little additions to the setup, but switching between them can be a little cumbersome – you press the button until the desired effect loads up, which is fast, but having to press a button four times to get back to the one you want is a little finicky. Above the center buttons you’ll see a touch sensitive panel, that allows you to play around in octaves and give yourself the auto-tune voice all the Tik-Tok kids love – it’s not for everyone, but it’s good fun. The bundled microphone sounds great, much better than I would expect a bundled mic to be and I would be more than happy to record a podcast with it. There is no XLR support on the AM200-S1, and whilst you are able to connect your own using the supplied cable, bare in mind that any microphones that require phantom power to function wont get the juice from the AM200, so you’ll need to supply your own. Moving back to the front of the device, the big eye catching dials fill out the sides of the panel, the left for your microphone, and the right for controlling music, with the four small dials in the middle taking care of highs, lows and mids, and a separate dial to control recording volume. These are all great and feel really good to use, with a satisfying bit of heft to them, and under these are the three LED bars that allow you to monitor sound, and see any clippings going on. A really neat feature for a portable podcast studio, is the ability to connect devices via bluetooth or 3.5mm jacks, and bring music into the mix. The large dial on the top right allows you to control the volume of the music, and it's a really cool way to keep your production high on the go. I really genuinely love the AM200-S1 - it's a fun and easy to use addition to any podcast set-up, and if I was to add anything, it would be full XLR support (and phantom power), and the ability to control two microphone independently. But these are fairly minor gripes for an otherwise excellent product.

I thought I would try this for prerecording internet radio programmes. Works excellently with laptop/computer or iPhone on both Mac or windows. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of sound produced by the microphone and the unit itself, that comes complete with most of the necessary leads you will need etc. It far exceeded my expectations and does an excellent job , lots of flexibility with some good features with mic effects and tone controls etc , some pre recorded effects are fine for those doing podcasts maybe, but I will never personally use them , but it also has 4 buttons in that section where you can record your own effects or jingles and links which is very useful. All in all a very nice little unit at a very reasonable price. Clearly not intended for the professional but having said that with good recording software does an excellent job. I would recommend a boom mic stand for the excellent microphone provided which helps to eliminate vibration from your desktop. Highly recommended. !

I have my order yesterday,and I trying this .I do nothing about set anything or do anything wrong but the sound like robot and Pitch not work 😔 the sounds card have problem 😔

A nice looking monocaster and works brilliantly, would recommend.

The microphone supplied is totally unsuitable as a desk mount. To get any output at all it needs to be no more than a couple of inches from your mouth. Totally impracticable without further expensive amplification. I tested the unit with a 30 year old stick on a wire microphone that gave harsh if acceptable levels positioned 2 feet away. No chance of that with the supplied mic. There is a lack of any processing of overall output levels so the mic level and loud pre-programmed sounds cannot be modified except with a lot of post audio editing. Audacity on a Mac often produces error when attempting to record if you change audio i/o and needs a restart to get it to work. Sound recorder notes works better. All in all the kit looks good and almost works but the whole package doesn't gel together. Very disappointing.

This is an entry level piece of kit for creation of podcasts or voiceovers. With highly adjustable inputs and outputs you'll quickly be able to produce high quality material. The number of outputs and cables supplied allow the user to simultaneously stream over several media platforms. The sound effect buttons pre-programmed are Opening, Applause, Gunshot, Laughter, Booing, Awkward, Slapping and Cheering and although you'll likely get some fun use out of these it is the four programable effects buttons I find to be most useful. Be aware there are two mic inputs but only the one volume control for them so you may have to adjust the mic positions to balance your inputs. Also be aware you can use any microphone with a 3.5mm jack but the unit does not provide phantom power. The mic you use therefore must either not need power or have its own power supply. I got good results using a variety of microphones.

you can compare it to a toy without any problems. it has nothing to do with what it should be!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! a piece of garbage! the sound is beyond any criticism! the sound card is non-existent!ZERO STARS MAONO!!

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

Der Maono DJ Controller ist die Perfekte Lösung für Einsteiger. Für das vergleichsweise kleine Geld bekommt man eine tüchtige Soundschnittstelle und ein überraschend hochwertiges Mikrofon. Das Ganze ist kinderleicht einzurichten, alle benötigten Kabel werden mitgeliefert, das einbinden in alle möglichen Anwendungen ist intuitiv und simpel. die Maono-Schnittstelle wird sowohl als Eingabe-als auch als Ausgabemöglichkeit erkannt. So ist auch das Monitoring kein Problem. Das Denoising funktioniert ebenfalls überraschend gut, die Sprachqualität wurde bisher überall gelobt, wo das Mikrofon zum Einsatz kam. 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
