MAONO AME2 Black is a compact USB audio interface and desktop sound card with built-in effects, designed for recording, streaming and podcasting. The unit connects to computers and mobile devices via USB-C and offers improved audio capture, monitoring and onboard processing without the need for additional software. AME2 integrates high-quality preamps with phantom power support, low-noise circuitry and a 32-bit chipset to deliver clear vocal and instrument recordings for home studios and content creators.

Advantages

The MAONO AME2 provides hardware-based effects including six reverb modes, three-band tone control and a 12-step autotune, enabling real-time sound shaping. Independent input controls and a 3-position gain control facilitate precise level management for each microphone. Additional professional features such as sidechain, music-only mode and loopback expand routing and monitoring options. A built-in lithium-polymer battery supports up to approximately 8 hours of operation for portable setups, while Bluetooth 4.2 adds wireless connectivity for playback.

How to use

Connect the MAONO AME2 to a computer, tablet or smartphone using the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable or compatible USB-C host cable. Attach microphones using XLR or TRS inputs as appropriate and enable phantom power for condenser microphones when required. Adjust the 3-position gain and independent input controls to set recording levels and select onboard effects such as reverb, tone adjustments or autotune to shape the sound. Use the MONITOR SPK or headphone output for real-time monitoring and enable loopback when mixing system audio and microphone input for streaming. Charge the internal battery via a 5 V / 1 A source before mobile use.

Recommendations

For best recording results, set input gain so the loudest passages do not clip while keeping the signal above noise floor. Use phantom power only with microphones that require it. When streaming, engage loopback or music-only mode to route playback with microphone input appropriately, and prefer a wired USB-C connection for lowest latency and stable power when possible.
