Description
RODE's AI-1 Audio Interface is stacked with incredible technology to ensure recording on your computer is easy, versatile and sounds superb. The Complete Studio Kit comes with the AI-1, RODE's peerless NT1 large diaphragm condenser microphone, a shock mount and all cables.
As for inputs: the AI-1's got both kinds...
The AI-1's single input is a Neutrik 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.
Superior Headphone Amplifier onboard
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.
Ableton Live Lite
Live 9 Lite is a customized version of the music making software Ableton Live, and is included with every AI-1 interface.
