Awesome presentation man! Loved it!
This is a great review man. Lots of information in this!
Been loving all your reviews and the quality of the content that you make. Thank you for making some of the best review videos. I’ve picked up the pd200x based off your videos and love it. Still finding the mixer/interface and this may be it

When it comes to the RGB buttons, what are the functionality of those buttons? Do they record like the other interface device by Maono? If so how long do they record for?

It will easily push the PD200x, and tackle room fans, and A/C's in the room. Still lagging behind in the headphone monitoring. Better, functional even, but definitely not a strong suit.
Very helpful, thanks!

I’m over it. 🤯🤦🏻♂️ just get it right, put a great sound card in there and charge what it’s worth. 😡if you aren’t interesting in gaming with it…it's "ok"…
As you know our Rode headphones are probably the best in the world, so you will hear more than we ever hear. Do you have the microphone for the Rode NTH-100 headphones? Interested in hearing that plugged in?
Great review, I feel like this is just a redesign of the maono amc2, not horrible, not great. Descent for gamers on a budget

yup. It is REALLY great IF YOU ARE A GAMER and have noisy rooms from fans or A/C units in your room. outside of that, its just "ok". Not amazing, not terrible, just ....ok
I remember years ago, there were demos on science programmes on TV, where if you fed people their own voice with a slight delay you could make them stutter. And that's on people who don't normally suffer from the condition. So monitoring with a delay is undesirable. I'd assume the older devices didn't have fast enough processors to give real time monitoring. Hmm.

the delay is much better, but still there, but it's there just enough to make it sound like your speaking into a tin can. If you don't have any gameplay or music in the mix with your voice, the monitoring can easily wear you don with the harsh-tin sound. Most gamers don't have that problem. It's definitely niche specific - for gamers not podcasters.
there is always an echo when my friends talk and they can always here the videos i play how do i stop this.
I would like to stream to tiktok from my android phone with a usb type c. Just for singing + instrumental via bluetooth, can i please ask for a recommendation, aside from maono g1 neo.
Does this connect to ps5 by itself
Would you be able to hear twitch alert and discord chat through this? While streaming on Ps5

you could, but I believe the secondary fader operates both the volume and aux in(gameplay)gameplay and audio, so you'd have to manually adjust the levels on the sources (your pc, etc) before hand for both so that you can hear them at your prefered mix.
This seems way better than the FiFine Mixer.

The latency on the fifine is MUCH BETTER, but the rest of the features, Maono has a slight edge. I just struggle to cope more than most with latency.
Is it an audio interface or mixer?

@@laden_nahid it’s definitely a mixer. Audio interfaces won’t give you latency issues with headphone monitoring like this guy. 🤣

@@levelupwithmikenewman Oohh okay i understand
Totally agree, definitely for a gamer that wants to "Level Up" his stream. 😉
The audio sounded so choppy for most of the video I like the side chain however the noise in the gameplay was a turn off for me, same with the mute I prefer an instant mute

@@theoutsiderjess4869 the mute is definitely a weird one. If I got to sneeze or cough…I need that mute asap!
Love the review! Hoping to see this on your next live stream hooked up with pd400x 🙌🙌
This noise reducer could save my untreated room. The only thing keeping me from buying an audio interface is the need to directly plug in my PD400X via USB-C and use it with Nvidia Broadcast software 😂

I just might, I'd have to steal the PD400x from my son's setup. He loves it so much that's the mic he chose from my studio to upgrade his mic.
