The Rode AI-1 is a high-quality audio interface designed for recording vocals, instruments, and voiceovers on both Mac and Windows computers. It is equipped with a single combo XLR-1/4" input that includes phantom power, two balanced 1/4" monitor outputs, and a discrete headphone output with level control, all of which contribute to its studio-grade performance. The device supports zero-latency monitoring, allowing the preamp to connect directly to the headphone output, ensuring real-time performance without delay during recording sessions. When the headphone input is in use, the monitor outputs are automatically bypassed. To activate the monitor outputs, simply disconnect the headphone plug from the jack. The durable aluminum chassis is coated with a satin black finish and is equipped with substantial rubber feet, ensuring that the desktop interface remains stable during use. The class-compliant AI-1 does not require any drivers and is equipped with a USB-C connector, which facilitates both connection to your computer and power supply. The Rode AI-1 is delivered with a USB cable and includes a license for Ableton Live Lite.
