Overview

The Rode AI-1 Studio-Quality USB Audio Interface is well suited for recording vocals, instruments, and voice-overs into your Mac or Windows computer. The 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 connects to your computer but also provides power as well. The Rode AI-1 ships with a USB cable and a license for Ableton Live Lite.
