Røde Microphones, has released its first audio interface, the AI-1.

Available as part of The Complete Studio Kit, the AI-1 comes with Røde’s NT1 large-diaphragm condenser microphone, SMR shock mount with popshield, 20ft XLR and USB C/A cables. It features high-quality Neutrik combo jack input and a discrete class-A preamp, suitable for recording from microphone, guitar or line level instrument, such as a synthesiser.

The AI-1 allows zero-latency playback by enabling the direct monitoring feature and playback via headphones/speakers with the discrete headphone amplifier. To ensure the AI-1 is truly versatile it features 48V Phantom Power and is class compliant – so there is no requirement for computer drivers.

‘The AI-1 offers professional studio quality at a home studio price point,’ says Røde CEO, Damien Wilson. ‘It’s simply the best in its class – and it’s also incredibly easy to use, thanks to thoughtful design and Australian Made quality. The perfect companion to any Røde microphone.’
