RØDE’s AI-1 Audio Interface is packed with incredible technology to ensure recording on your computer is easy, versatile and sounds superb. The AI-1’s single input is a NeutrikTM Combo Jack, which takes both a 3-pole XLR (common to most microphones) and a quarter-inch jack common to most electric instruments like guitar, bass et al. Layering tracks is as easy as plug in, set level and go. Not only does the AI-1 deliver crystal clear audio to your computer software, but headphones have never sounded sweeter thanks to the discrete studio-quality headphone output and level control.

AI-1 Audio Interface Reviews
“I’m relieved to say I’ve finally found an affordable audio interface that delivers quality, even to the most discerning ears. I know the frustrations caused by many other audio interfaces in this price class first-hand and I won’t hesitate to use the AI-1 on my own projects. If you’re in the market for a budget-friendly, easy to use, rock solid audio interface from a brand you can trust, skip the others and go with the AI-1.”
“If you’re a home-based musician or podcaster looking for pro-studio quality at a home studio price point, then your search ends right here. The interface packs a lot of punch for such a compact device.”
