A RØDE Interface Designed to Focus on the Essentials
Within the RØDE range, the AI-1 positions itself as a compact and robust USB audio interface designed to offer a straightforward workflow: a single input, clear controls, and clean sound reproduction. The goal is simple: to enable you to record quickly on your computer without unnecessary complexity, while maintaining studio-quality sound.Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The AI-1 is aimed at musicians, content creators, podcasters, and home studio users who want a reliable interface to record one source at a time (vocals or instrument). It is perfectly suited for vocal recordings (condenser or dynamic microphones), guitars and basses, as well as keyboards via an instrument input. Thanks to its balanced line outputs, it also easily integrates with a pair of studio monitors.Key Features for Clean Recordings and Comfortable Monitoring
Combo Input and Gain Control with Visual Feedback
The single combo input accepts a 3-pin XLR cable (microphone) or a 6.35 mm jack (instrument). The gain control is accompanied by a signal LED to quickly adjust your input level and avoid clipping during recording.Switchable Direct Monitoring and Dedicated Headphone Output
To maintain a natural playing feel, direct monitoring can be activated to listen to the recording signal with no perceptible latency. The stereo headphone output, designed for detailed listening, features its own independent volume control: ideal for quickly switching between monitors and headphones during editing, recording, or streaming.Phantom Power and Studio Connectivity
The AI-1 offers switchable +48 V phantom power to power condenser microphones. On the output side, the two balanced 6.35 mm line outputs ensure a clean connection to your studio monitors or external system.Technical specifications
