● Advanced DSP functions: Through Maono Link, functions such as microphone muting, noise cancellation, and scene tuning can be adjusted quickly.
● Audio tuning: Eight classic preset sound effect configurations are available by default, allowing you to choose different presets to meet your tuning needs in various scenarios. Personalized sound tuning is also supported.
1. Basic
Microphone Gain
Microphone gain supports adjustment from 0 to 100 levels. We provide a recommended optimal range, and you can flexibly adjust it according to your personal usage habits.
- When the microphone is used at a greater distance, the gain should be appropriately increased to ensure sufficient volume.
- When the microphone is used at a closer distance, a lower gain can achieve an appropriate volume level and avoid sound overload.

EQ
Preset Sound Effects: The 8 preset sound effect configurations cannot be modified.
Custom Sound Effects: You can create multiple custom sound configurations. Each sound configuration is equipped with a graphical EQ interface, which includes an HPF (High-Pass Filter), LPF (Low-Pass Filter), and five adjustable bands. You can boost or attenuate the gain at specific frequencies by simply dragging any band, allowing you to quickly optimize your microphone's sound.
Each band uses Peaking filter type with pre-set Q values. If you need to adjust it yourself, click on any band to open its properties window and manually adjust the parameters. And additional tuning parameters will be added in subsequent releases.
