MAONOCASTER G1 NEO RGB Streaming Audio Mixer with XLR & 48V Phantom Power

Build a cleaner, more controllable streaming audio setup from one compact desktop mixer. The MAONOCASTER G1 NEO is designed for gaming streams, podcasts, voice chat, livestreams, and creator recording workflows where fast access to microphone level, monitoring, noise reduction, effects, and background audio matters.

Connect a compatible XLR microphone, route audio to your computer or compatible mobile device, monitor through headphones, and use dedicated creator controls without constantly switching back to software menus.

Why Creators Choose the G1 NEO

• XLR microphone input with 48V phantom power: supports compatible dynamic microphones and XLR condenser microphones that require phantom power.
• Two-level noise reduction: MAONO provides two noise-reduction levels to help manage unwanted background sound during gaming and livestreaming.
• Direct monitoring and loopback: hear your microphone through connected headphones and control whether computer audio is routed back into the recording or stream.
• Sidechain function: automatically lowers background music while you speak so your voice remains more prominent.
• Four customizable sound pads: store user-recorded sound effects or short audio cues for reactions, intros, transitions, and live production.
• Bluetooth audio input: bring in compatible wireless background audio or accompaniment.
• RGB lighting: MAONO provides multiple lighting modes across the sound pads and side light strip.
• Physical gain, headphone and reverb controls: adjust commonly used audio functions directly from the mixer.

Built for Streaming, Podcasting & Gaming

The G1 NEO works especially well for creators who want a compact control surface instead of a large studio console. It puts the functions used most often during a live session within reach and can simplify a desk that would otherwise depend on several separate controls or software windows.

Typical uses include:

• PC gaming streams and voice chat
• Single-host podcasts and commentary
• OBS-based livestreaming and recording
• Twitch, YouTube, Discord and similar creator workflows
• Console streaming setups using supported routing/capture workflows
• Compatible USB-C mobile streaming setups

Creator Controls That Matter

Direct Monitor lets you hear the microphone through headphones while recording. Loopback controls whether audio from the connected computer is returned into the stream. Sidechain can automatically duck background audio while you speak. MAONO also provides microphone/music mute controls, voice-changing effects and stepless reverb adjustment.

The four custom sound pads can each store a short user-recorded clip for effects, transitions or reactions. MAONO's current support documentation lists up to approximately 20 seconds per custom sound-pad recording.

Compatibility & Setup Notes

• USB microphones are not intended to connect to the G1 NEO's XLR microphone input.

• When a supported headset is connected through the headset connection, microphone-routing behavior can differ from a dedicated XLR setup; review MAONO's current connection guide for the intended configuration.

Good Fit For

Streamers, gamers, podcasters and solo voice creators who want XLR microphone support, 48V phantom power, monitoring, noise reduction, background-audio control and live effects in one compact desktop interface.

GearReady Take

The G1 NEO earns its place in a creator catalog because it combines real functional controls—not cosmetic supplier variations—into a compact streaming mixer. The strongest buying case is for a single-microphone creator who wants physical XLR gain, monitoring, 48V power, loopback, sidechain and programmable effects without moving to a full-size studio console.
