After shipping more than 200,000 Maonocaster Lite units to more than 50 markets worldwide, we are now launching the successor to the MaonoCaster E2 series podcast console. It is a completely new product with a completely new design, substantial performance improvements, and new features. We have also improved the user experience and addressed technical issues based on valuable customer feedback.

MaonoCaster E2 retains all the features our users loved, and we have also added top-mounted XLR microphone support. It features built-in phantom power and premium microphone preamplifiers with a gain switch. You can use any of your favorite XLR condenser or dynamic microphones to record ultra-clear sound.

The MaonoCaster AME2 features a specially designed 3-level microphone gain adjustment and 48V phantom power for optimal performance with most microphones. We kindly recommend that you read the following notes before use.

1. Confirm your microphone type and sensitivity

If you are connecting your own microphone, please refer to the microphone's user manual to confirm the microphone type and sensitivity.

2. Confirm whether your microphone requires 48V phantom power

XLR-connected condenser microphones require phantom power, while dynamic microphones do not.

3. Set the 'MIC1 SETTING' on the side of the audio interface to the correct position.

40dB: condenser microphone sensitivity above -40dB, such as MAONO PM320/PM500/AT2020
50dB: dynamic microphone sensitivity between -50dB and -55dB, such as Samson Q2U/HD300T
60dB: dynamic microphone sensitivity between -55dB and -60dB, such as Shure SM7B / SM58 / MV
