Rode AI1 StudioQuality USB Audio Interface

The RØDE AI-1 Audio Interface brings professional recording capabilities to your home studio with cutting-edge technology that makes computer recording straightforward, flexible and exceptional sounding. This compact unit features a single Neutrik™ Combo Jack input that accommodates both 3-pole XLR connections for microphones and quarter-inch jacks for electric instruments like guitars and basses, making track layering as simple as plugging in, setting your levels and hitting record.

Built with discrete circuitry for both the preamp and headphone amplifier, the AI-1 provides an incredibly clear signal path across both channels. The interface includes phantom power for microphones with active electronics, plus zero latency monitoring - perfect for vocal recording sessions. Both phantom power and zero latency monitoring are activated by pushing in the preamp volume and output volume knobs respectively.

Beyond capturing crystal clear audio for your computer software, the AI-1 excels at headphone monitoring thanks to its discrete studio-quality headphone output with dedicated level control. Additional features include balanced quarter-inch outputs, USB bus power, 24-bit depth recording, sample rates from 44.1kHz up to 96kHz, and durable cast aluminium construction. This makes it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone requiring a straightforward yet high-quality audio interface for home recording applications.
