The media could not be loaded. I chose Maono G1 NEO because I needed an affordable, all-in-one audio mixer for podcasting and streaming.After researching different options, this one stood out because it includes all the essential features—XLR input with 48V phantom power, Bluetooth connectivity, customizable sound pads, and real-time noise reduction—without being overly complicated. Setting it up was straightforward, and it works well with both my laptop and phone via USB-C and Bluetooth.One of the most useful features is the sidechain function, which automatically lowers background music when I speak. This is especially handy during live streams or interviews where I want my voice to be clear without manually adjusting volume levels. The dual-level noise reduction is also great, as it helps reduce background noise when recording in less-than-ideal environments. Additionally, the four customizable sound pads let me add sound effects or intro music instantly, making editing easier.The G1 NEO is compact and portable, making it easy to take on the go. It also has RGB lighting, which isn’t essential but adds a nice touch to my setup. With a strong preamp gain of 55dB and eight-hour battery life, it offers professional-grade sound for its price. If you're looking for an easy-to-use, feature-packed mixer, this one has everything you need.

Seems like product has been used rough before.Editing review after useRecording quality and inbuilt preamp are simply awesome. Voice is clear. Gain is excellent - no issue of noise.Built quality is below average. Seems like fabricated from low grade plastic.
