Maono P Series hybrid audio interfaces are getting a price cut for a two-week window this August, giving podcasters, streamers and musicians a cheaper way into the brand’s hybrid desktop-and-mobile recording line. From 17 to 30 August 2026, both the Maono P1 and the Maono P2 drop to $99.99 on Amazon US, a saving of up to 23 percent off their regular list prices.
Maono P1: single-channel simplicity
The Maono P1 is the more compact half of the Maono P Series, built for solo creators who want studio-quality audio without a complicated signal chain. Its microphone preamp delivers up to 70dB of ultra-low-noise gain, enough to properly drive gain-hungry dynamic microphones that often struggle on cheaper interfaces. An Auto Gain function continuously balances recording levels, which should appeal to creators who are still learning to ride a fader manually. During the August promotion the P1’s RRP of $129.99 falls to $99.99, a 23.1 percent discount.
USB OTG connectivity lets the P1 plug straight into a smartphone or tablet, and a built-in stereo loopback channel makes it easy to blend microphone and system audio for livestreams and gaming commentary. A dedicated camera jack and headphone monitoring round out what is a fairly complete one-box solution for solo podcasting, voiceover work and music recording.
Maono P2: built for two-person sessions
The Maono P2 extends the same Maono P Series philosophy to collaborative recording. Two Mic/Line/Instrument combo inputs and two independent microphone preamps allow two people to record simultaneously, which suits interview-style podcasts, duo music sessions and co-hosted livestreams. Where the P1 relies on USB bus power, the P2 adds an auxiliary USB power input for more demanding mobile setups, plus dual headphone outputs (3.5mm and 6.35mm) so both performers can monitor independently. During the sale, the P2’s RRP of $119.99 also drops to $99.99, a 16.7 percent reduction.
Like its sibling, the P2 supports USB OTG connectivity and a three-channel stereo loopback for mixing microphone and system audio, and it uses the same ProStudio software suite for tuning gain staging and monitoring.
Why the timing matters
Maono positions the Maono P Series as a hybrid bridge between desktop and mobile content creation, and the brand says the line is used by a community of more than 6 million creators worldwide. Discounting both models to the same $99.99 price point during the promotion removes the usual trade-off between the P1’s simplicity and the P2’s two-input flexibility, since for two weeks the choice comes down to workflow rather than budget. Creators weighing the two models can now decide based on how many people need to record at once, rather than stretching a budget between them.
