Description

RØDE’s AI-1 Audio Interface is stacked with incredible technology to ensure recording on your computer is easy, versatile and sounds superb.

The AI-1 interface features a single, combo XLR-1/4" input with phantom power, two balanced 1/4" monitor outputs, and a single, discrete, studio-quality headphone output and level control. The device can operate in zero-latency monitoring mode, which connects the preamp directly to the headphone output for delay-free performance while recording. With the headphone input engaged, the two monitor outputs are bypassed. To engage the monitor outputs, simply remove the headphone plug from the jack.

The rugged aluminium body is finished with a satin black finish and features large rubber feet, which prevents the desktop interface from sliding about when engaged. The class compliant AI-1 requires no drivers and features a USB-C connector, which not only connect to your computer, but also provides powers as well. The Rode AI-1 ships with a USB cable and a licence for Ableton Live Lite.

    Fantastic interface if you just need one mono mike input like me. Pre amp has crazy low noise floor and plenty of gain with firmware update. Well built, small footprint. Powered via USB connection so no wall worts and no special software required - truly plug and play. Also works on iPad Pro as a mic input and headphone output. A+++

    Simple interface that requires no drivers. Works perfectly on my locked down work laptop and MS Teams. I’ve combined this with a gooseneck mic and ditched the clunky and uncomfortable headset.
