Rode AI-1 is a studio-quality audio interface that is ideal for recording vocals, instruments and voice-overs on your Mac or Windows computer. It has one combo XLR-1/4" input with phantom power, two balanced 1/4" monitor outputs, one discrete studio-quality headphone output and level control. It can run in zero-latency mode, which routes the preamp directly to the headphone output for delay-free performance while recording. When headphones are plugged in, the two monitor outputs are muted. To use the monitor outputs, simply unplug the headphones.
The durable aluminium body has a satin black finish and large rubber feet that stop the interface sliding around on your desk. The AI-1 is class compliant and needs no drivers, and its USB-C connector not only connects to your computer but also provides power. The Rode AI-1 comes with a USB cable and an Ableton Live Lite licence.
