Maono G3 Gaming Audio Mixer Launches With Dual-PC Streaming, AI Noise Reduction, and Programmable Sound Pads
Maono has introduced the G3 gaming audio mixer, a new compact audio control hub designed for gamers, live streamers, podcasters, and creators who want cleaner sound and more flexible control during broadcasts.
Built for modern streaming setups, the Maono G3 can manage audio from video games, web browsers, music apps, voice chat, and other software sources. One of its standout features is the ability to create separate mixes for headphones, chat, and livestream output. This means streamers can hear one audio mix while sending a different mix to viewers or teammates, making it especially useful for dual-PC streaming setups or broadcasts using a mobile device.
The G3 includes both XLR and 3.5 mm microphone inputs, giving users the option to connect professional microphones or simpler headset-style audio gear. For outputs, it offers 3.5 mm headphone monitoring, desktop speaker output, and USB-C audio connectivity. The mixer also supports phantom power for XLR microphones and provides up to 57 dB of input gain, according to Maono, making it suitable for a wide range of mic types.
To help improve voice quality, Maono has equipped the G3 with AI noise reduction. This feature is designed to reduce background noise without requiring extra audio software or complex processing, which could be helpful for streamers working in bedrooms, shared spaces, or less-than-perfect recording environments.
For deeper control, the Maono G3 works with Arena software on Windows. The software allows users to customize routing, adjust mixes, and manage PC-based audio sources virtually. This gives streamers more control over what they hear, what their audience hears, and what is sent to in-game chat.
On the hardware side, the mixer features four audio channels with physical volume sliders and mute buttons. These controls are useful during live gameplay, where quick audio adjustments can make a big difference. Instead of digging through software menus mid-stream, users can instantly lower music, mute a microphone, or balance game audio on the fly.
The G3 also includes four programmable sound pads. These pads can be loaded with music, voice clips, or sound effects, with support for audio clips of unlimited duration. Streamers can trigger effects during broadcasts with a tap, adding more personality and interaction to their content.
The Maono G3 gaming audio mixer is priced at $99.99 and is available in black and white. With its combination of XLR support, AI noise reduction, USB-C output, programmable sound pads, and dual-PC streaming features, the G3 aims to offer an affordable all-in-one audio solution for streamers who want more control without building a complicated setup.
