Maono has released the P1 and P2 hybrid audio interfaces to address the workflow challenges faced by creators switching between laptops, smartphones and tablets. Priced around $100, these units target streamers, podcasters and musicians who need intuitive operation without unnecessary features. The P1 provides a single microphone or line input with an automatic gain function, while the P2 supports dual inputs for recording two people simultaneously. Both models include USB OTG connectivity for direct connection to mobile devices and stereo loopback to capture system audio alongside microphone input.
The significance lies in the removal of manual adjustments that often complicate mobile recording sessions. High-performance preamps with low noise floors ensure consistent audio quality regardless of the connected device. The inclusion of physical mute buttons and gain indicators simplifies the interface for users who prioritise speed over customisation. These specifications cater directly to the practical needs of hybrid workflows.
