Rode AI-1 Audio Interface with combo XLR/instrument input

The AI-1 USB Audio Interface adds studio-quality Input and Output capabilities to your PC or Mac, turning your recording software into a full recording setup.

With its high quality Neutrik XLR-1/4” Combo Jack combined input and discrete Class-A preamp, the AI-1 allows you to connect a microphone or instrument or line level audio signal to your Mac/Windows computer for recording. The AI-1 provides the necessary A/D conversion at up to 24 bit/96kHz.

  The AI-1 is USB bus powered so there is no need for an external power supply.

  Some laptops may limit the USB output power when running on battery. This could mean the AI-1 does not receive enough power to run optimally. If this is the case, connect your laptop to the power supply when using the AI-1.
