This alone makes it an attractive piece of equipment that can be <strong>used for many different purposes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"connecting\"><span style=\"color: #FF4757;\"><strong>Connecting the Maonocaster E2<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Maonocaster E2 <strong>connects directly to your PC via USB<\/strong> and doesn\u2019t require a power outlet. Once the battery is charged it can last for up to 8 hours, making it a <strong>fully portable<\/strong> audio interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a beginner, you can easily plug your mic into the console and start recording or broadcasting your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/how-to-create-your-own-radio-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">radio show<\/a> with the standard configuration. As you familiarize yourself with the product, you can start playing around with the various knobs and buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that you\u2019ll need to adjust your \u201cMic1 setting\u201d on the side of the audio interface to the correct position for optimal results. Here are the guidelines provided by Maono:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">40dB:<\/mark><\/strong> condenser mic sensitivity higher than -40dB<\/li><li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">50dB:<\/mark> <\/strong>dynamic mic sensitivity between -50dB and -55dB<\/li><li><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">60dB:<\/mark><\/strong> dynamic mic sensitivity between -55dB and -60dB<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"build\"><span style=\"color: #FF4757;\"><strong>The build<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Feel and durability are important factors to consider when purchasing new equipment. Although the Maonocaster doesn\u2019t have a metal structure, we were happily surprised to see that it\u2019s made from high-grade plastic. We love how it remains lightweight, which is a huge advantage for its portability, without feeling cheap or flimsy. The overall construction quality is very impressive for a console at this price point ($119.99).<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"features\"><span style=\"color: #FF4757;\"><strong>Interface features<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Maonocaster E2 has a long list of features that can suit many different needs. We\u2019re going to focus on essential features for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/p\/broadcast-live-internet-radio-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">live radio broadcasting<\/a> and podcasting needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>General overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find a total of<strong> 6 knobs<\/strong> at the top of the interface, which may sound overwhelming for someone without a sound engineering degree. However, one of the things we love about this device is its intuitiveness. You\u2019ll find clear indications all over the console to guide you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Low (EQ)<\/li><li>Mid (EQ)<\/li><li>High (EQ)<\/li><li>Inst (Instrument volume)<\/li><li>Pitch (pitch adjustment)<\/li><li>Monitor (output volume monitor)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, as mentioned above, Maono provides clear instructions and product presentations to help you understand each feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"650\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s.png\" alt=\"Maonocaster E2\" class=\"wp-image-30586 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-640x325.png 640w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-1240x630.png 1240w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-860x437.png 860w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-680x345.png 680w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-500x254.png 500w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-400x203.png 400w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-50x25.png 50w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/650;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s.png\" alt=\"Maonocaster E2\" class=\"wp-image-30586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-640x325.png 640w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-1240x630.png 1240w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-860x437.png 860w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-680x345.png 680w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-500x254.png 500w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-400x203.png 400w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-200x102.png 200w, https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Actualite\u0301s-50x25.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The two largest dials found on either side allow you to adjust <strong>AUX input and output volumes<\/strong>. The faders on the left-hand side are used to adjust the levels of the<strong> 2 microphone inputs<\/strong>. This is particularly handy if you\u2019re broadcasting or recording with a guest, as you can easily adjust the 2 microphones separately. Again, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s pretty well indicated on the interface itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maonocaster E2 interface also has <strong>Bluetooth connectivity <\/strong>to connect to other devices. This can be extremely useful for playing audio from another source for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the console also provides <strong>phantom power<\/strong> (48V) which you\u2019ll need if you\u2019re using a condenser <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/best-budget-microphones-radio-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">microphone<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Programmable buttons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maonocaster E2 offers 3 programmable buttons <strong><em>(A, B, and C)<\/em><\/strong> that provide 1 minute of sound, as well as 8 buttons that offer up to 20 seconds. These buttons can facilitate your life as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/12-tips-best-radio-presenter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">radio presenter<\/a> or podcaster and <strong>add a level of professionalism<\/strong> to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radioking.com\/blog\/top-5-audio-recording-software-for-your-radio-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">audio recordings<\/a> and live broadcasts. Use them for various sound effects such as applause, laughter, or even your jingles, intros, or outros for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Note:<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><em> be sure to set up your pads and test them before your live broadcast to avoid any surprises or technical issues during your live broadcast.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature can also be a <strong>huge time-saver <\/strong>in terms of post-editing. By integrating your sound effects directly into your recording, you avoid having to add them manually after each session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find 3 knobs on the right-hand side, designed to control the pad volume, reverb depth, and decay time.
