Audio mixer MAONO AMC2 Neo, 2-channel USB mixer with USB connectivity

The Maono AMC2 Neo audio mixer and sound card is a compact, feature-rich device designed for streamers, podcasters and content creators. It combines XLR and digital connectivity, onboard noise reduction and 48V phantom power to support studio microphones, and offers configurable sound pads and real-time music-handling functions for flexible live and recorded audio production.

Advantages

The AMC2 Neo provides dual-level noise reduction that captures very low-level signals down to 60 dB, improving clarity for dynamic and condenser microphones. It supplies 48V phantom power for studio condenser microphones and includes three configurable sound pads for instant effect triggers. SideChain automatically lowers background music when you speak, while the Music Only function removes vocals from accompaniment tracks. Portable powering options and separate mic and accompaniment volume controls simplify on-location use.

How to use

Connect your microphone via XLR and enable 48V phantom power if using a condenser microphone. Attach the mixer to a computer or power source using the included USB-A to USB-C cable, or power it from a power bank for portable operation. Use the separate microphone and accompaniment volume controls to balance levels, assign sounds to the three configurable pads as needed, and enable SideChain to automatically duck background music while speaking. Monitor output via headphones through the 3.5 mm jack.

Recommendations

For best results, use a compatible XLR microphone and set the sampling frequency to 48 kHz in your recording software. Charge the unit fully before extended sessions and test SideChain and Music Only functions in your setup to ensure vocal removal and ducking behave as expected.
