Maono launches G3 gaming audio mixer with dual-PC streaming and programmable sound pads

Maono G3 gaming audio mixer launches with dual-PC streaming

Maono released the G3 gaming audio mixer on September 19, 2026, positioning it as a tool for live streamers who run game capture on one machine while broadcasting to chat and platforms from a second computer or phone. According to the company, the G3 can output independent chat, headphone, and stream mixes drawn from games, browsers, streaming music services, and other apps to that secondary device, enabling a custom monitoring mix on the player's headphones alongside a separate mix sent to viewers and teammates.

Hardware inputs, outputs, and on-board processing

The G3 pairs XLR and 3.5 mm inputs with 3.5 mm headphone, desktop monitor speaker, and USB-C audio outputs. Connected XLR microphones can draw phantom power, and the unit provides up to 57 dB of input gain, per the company. On-board AI noise reduction is built in to limit the need for external audio processing during live play, an addition the manufacturer describes as part of the G3's appeal to streamers who want a single console rather than a chain of plugins.

Arena software, four-channel control, and programmable sound pads

For Windows users, Maono's Arena software exposes the mixer for full control, including virtual routing and mixing of PC-based audio sources, so a gamer can hear one blend over headphones while sending a different blend to game chat and the live stream. Four audio channels sit under physical volume sliders and mute buttons for fast in-stream tweaks, and four sound pads accept music or sound effects of unlimited length, triggered by a tap during a broadcast.

Pricing, color options, and availability

The G3 carries a $99.99 MSRP and is offered in black or white through Amazon and Maono's own store. An official introduction video, "Introducing Maono G3 Audio Mixer | Built for Windows PC Streaming," was posted to the Maono Global YouTube channel, where it has drawn tens of thousands of views on the channel that lists 11.2K subscribers.

What remains to be seen

Notebookcheck's coverage lists September 20, 2026 as the publication date on its own article page while indexing a September 19, 2026 timestamp on Google's RSS mirror, and the underlying launch day itself is not independently confirmed outside Maono's own materials in the supplied ledger.
