MAONO PS22 Lite USB Audio Interface — 56dB Preamp, 24-bit/192kHz, Loopback & 48V

The MAONO PS22 Lite is a compact, palm-sized USB audio interface for home recording, podcasting and live streaming. It records at 24-bit/192kHz and has a 56dB mic preamp with 48V phantom power, so it can drive dynamic and condenser microphones. It also has a dedicated instrument input for guitar, and MAONO's ProStudio routing software for mixing app audio into your stream. It's the lighter, more affordable sibling of the MAONO PS22.
