## Long description

The RØDE AI-1 is a compact single-channel audio interface offering 24-bit/96kHz audio quality and USB Type-C connectivity for home studios, podcasting, livestreaming, and mobile recording. It combines a studio-grade preamp, a Neutrik™ combo jack for XLR or 1/4" inputs, balanced 1/4" outputs and a high‑power headphone amplifier to provide clear monitoring and professional results in a simple, desktop form factor.
Advantages
The AI-1 provides studio-quality sound with an ultra-low-noise, high-gain preamp and a level indicator for accurate input monitoring. Its Neutrik combo jack accepts microphones, guitars, basses or synthesisers and offers switchable phantom power for condenser microphones. A high-power headphone amplifier drives high-impedance professional headphones, while balanced outputs let you connect studio monitors. USB Type-C connectivity and bundled Ableton Live Lite allow fast setup and recording on computers supporting 24-bit/96kHz audio.

How to use
Connect the AI-1 to your computer using the USB Type-C cable, then plug your microphone or instrument into the Neutrik combo jack using an XLR or 1/4" cable. If using a condenser microphone, enable phantom power. Adjust the preamp gain while monitoring the level indicator to avoid clipping. Route the output to your studio monitors via the balanced 1/4" outputs or monitor through headphones driven by the onboard headphone amplifier. Launch your DAW (Ableton Live Lite is included) and select the AI-1 as the audio device to begin recording at 24-bit/96kHz.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use a high-quality XLR cable and set phantom power only when using condenser microphones. Monitor input levels with the level indicator and keep some headroom to prevent distortion. Update device firmware via the RØDE Central app to access the extended gain range and latest performance improvements.
