RØDE AI-1
RØDE's AI-1 Audio Interface is packed with incredible technology to make recording on your computer easy, versatile and perfect.
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 preamplifier directly to the headphone output for lag-free operation during recording. When the headphone input is enabled, the two monitor outputs are bypassed. To activate the monitor outputs, simply remove the headphone plug from the jack.
The solid aluminum body is finished in satin black and has large rubber feet that prevent the desktop interface from sliding when powered up. The class-compliant AI-1 requires no drivers and features a USB-C connector that not only connects to your computer, but also provides power. The Rode AI-1 ships with a USB cable and a license for Ableton Live Lite.Analog Inputs and Outputs Input: 1 x Neutrik XLR-1/4" / 6.35 mm combo
