Specifications

MAONO's published specifications list a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, THD below 0.05% at 1kHz, 44kHz/16-bit sampling, Bluetooth 4.2, and 20mW/32Ω headset output.

XLR Input with 48V Phantom Power

The MAONO G1 NEO allows you to connect a compatible XLR microphone directly to your gaming and streaming setup.

It also provides 48V phantom power, expanding compatibility to condenser microphones that require external phantom power. MAONO specifically positions the G1 NEO as compatible with XLR microphones for streaming applications.

This makes it a useful upgrade for creators moving from a basic USB microphone setup toward an XLR-based audio system.

2-Level Noise Reduction

Background noise can be particularly distracting during live gaming and streaming. The G1 NEO provides two levels of noise reduction, allowing you to reduce unwanted environmental sound and keep your voice clearer for teammates and viewers.

Dedicated mute controls also allow you to instantly cut microphone or music audio when necessary.

RGB Gaming Design

The G1 NEO isn't designed to look like a traditional studio mixer. Instead, MAONO gives it RGB illuminated light strips and buttons, helping it integrate naturally into gaming PCs and RGB streaming setups.

The compact form factor also minimizes the amount of desk space required.

4 Custom Sound Pads & Voice Effects

Add personality to your livestreams with four customizable sound pads. These can be used to trigger personalized sound effects during gaming, streaming, and other live content.

The G1 NEO also provides four voice changer effects, giving streamers additional creative options for entertaining their audience.

Bluetooth Audio Input

Built-in Bluetooth 4.2 provides a convenient way to bring compatible wireless audio sources into your setup.

This can be useful when incorporating music or other audio from a compatible Bluetooth device into your streaming workflow.

Direct Monitoring & Loopback

The Direct Monitor function allows you to hear your audio through compatible headphones or a headset while you're using the mixer.

The G1 NEO also provides Loopback, which is particularly useful for streamers who need to route computer audio into a livestream or recording.

Sidechain Function

The built-in Sidechain feature gives creators another useful tool for managing voice and background audio.

For example, sidechain processing can help keep speech prominent when other audio is playing, making your voice easier for viewers or teammates to hear.

Important: No Built-In Battery

Unlike MAONO's C2 NEO, the G1 NEO does not have a built-in battery and therefore requires external power during operation. MAONO's official comparison specifically lists the G1 NEO as having no integrated battery.
