## Long description

The RØDE AI-1 is a single-channel desktop audio interface with USB Type-C connectivity and 24-bit/96 kHz conversion, designed for home studios, livestreaming and podcasting. It includes a studio-grade ultra-low-noise preamp, a Neutrik™ combo jack for XLR and 1/4" inputs, balanced 1/4" outputs and a high-power headphone amplifier. The interface is compatible with Windows and Mac and ships with a free version of Ableton Live Lite.
Advantages
The AI-1 provides studio-quality sound with a simple, one-input layout and streamlined controls. Its high-gain, low-noise preamp captures clear vocals and instruments, while switchable phantom power supports condenser microphones. The Neutrik combo connector accepts microphones and line or instrument-level sources, and balanced outputs enable connection to studio monitors. A robust headphone amp drives high-impedance headphones for accurate monitoring. Firmware updates and device management are available via the RØDE Central app.
