My KZitem channel is only a year old... Just as you explained in your video. And I have spent close to $4000 in total setting up a gaming PC and now a 2nd streaming PC and I'm having issues routing audio between 2 PCs for my gaming streams and came here. Everyone else on YT recommends $600 audio mixers and I just don't have that type of money to spend after finally upgrading my PC and just having a new born and all. Pretty much all of my money I made on KZitem went straight into my gaming PC and what you are saying is spot on... I literally only need to route gaming audio to my stream PC and a USB mic and that is it.. I don't need an Elgato setup worth hundreds of dollars for that... Do I want one ... YES 😂 but do I NEED one... NO ... I'm going to just settle for something cheap and simple and go from there. Excellent video as I literally just came from 4 other videos saying and doing exactly what you spoke on in the intro. MOST people don't have a lazy $500 just to spend for something that can do a simple task for a hobby. My KZitem channel is by no means my main income and the money I have spent on my gaming PC is far too much as it is. Nice video man 👍

Yea, I was super fortunate to find a steal on a rodecaster duo on my local market place which solved many problems for me, but I could have used the fifine and a bit of ingenuity to accomplish the same thing and saved several hundred dollars!! Thanks for the feedback and kind words brother, best of luck on your youtube journey!

Trust audio reviewers over streamers when it comes to audio gear budget or expensive I made the mistake of listening to youtubers/streamers and they got ridiculious takes

I used both and I like the Maono Caster G1 Neo more because the Noise Reducer, Side Chain and Bluetooth Connection. I still love my FiFine K688 ❤

What I should have taken more into account (and didn't realize until post) was running the sc3 at such a lower gain over the g1 neo, there was almost no noise in the recording, where the g1 cranked all the way up had a tonn of noise which had to be fixed using the noise reducer. the power advantage the fifine has is pretty enormous if you have a high power dependent mic like a mv7 or sm7b.

@selw0nk you will need a fethead or cloudlifter to power the sm7b with the g1 neo. I’d go for the mv7x (xlr only version much cheaper) and a fethead. That will sound as good as an sm7b at half the price, you won’t need an upgrade at that point unless you upgrade to a rodecaster later down the road.

it really depends on what you need, if you need nosie reduction (say your room isnt rtreated, echos/reverbs, or you have4 people around) then the g1 neo will be your best bet due to its hardware noise cancelling. if you wwant the best sound and scalability, i think the fifine has better amp in it, use less gain so picks up less noise and gives a better signal. other than that just a aesthetic choice really. oh, the fifine is a bit cheaper too!

Maono is way better than the sc3… I have the amc2 neo that is the same as the G1 and the Bluetooth and the side chain is a better option under the sc3… and you said is better the volumen … well maono has volumen + gain , so because of that I really recommend more maono, remember not because is the more sell is the best , greets!

Great review. I am leaning toward Maono G1 Neo primarily because of my Maono mic PD400x. Do you know if G1 Neo is powerful enough for PD400x? Thanks
@YoukayTV
24 күн бұрын
Hi, thanks so much! I believe the pd400x requires 40db gain so the G2 should be more than plenty, I would say if your ever looking for a 50-60+db gain mic, I'd go for the fifine for the headroom. Good luck!

Hey man great video! I wanted to know whether I would be able to power Behringer XM8500 with either of these interfaces. I had an audio interface from Mackie but it died on me so I wanted to buy a new cheap interface and both of these are pretty good value propositions.

Sorry mate, I have no idea, I checked the specs and it made no mention of ps5 or other console compatibility. I know the fifine sc3 is plug and play as a usb audio device on the ps5 though.
