Our take on the MAONO PS22 Lite USB Audio Interface
The MAONO PS22 Lite is a palm-sized USB audio interface for a mic or guitar. It costs a tracked $69.99, the top of its $59.99 to $69.99 range since August 26, 2026, so wait for a dip.
The listing says it handles condenser and dynamic mics and comes with ProStudio routing software for live streams. A USB cable is in the box. It suits a beginner with one XLR mic. The 4.2 average over 509 retailer ratings is the lowest among the MAONO interfaces. The packet gives no gain or sample rate figures, so compare specs first.
