RODE AI-1 Single Studio-Quality Channel USB Audio Interface
RODE AI-1 Audio Interface is a single-channel USB device designed with incredible technology to ensure recording on your computer is easy, versatile, and sounds superb. The Rode AI-1 USB Audio Interface adds studio-quality Input and Output capabilities to your PC or Mac, turning your recording software into a full recording setup.
Studio-quality Sound With Ease
With its high-quality Neutrik XLR-1/4 Combo Jack combined input and discrete Class-A preamp, the AI-1 allows you to connect a microphone, instrument, or line-level audio signal to your Mac/Windows computer for recording. The AI-1 provides the necessary A/D conversion at up to 24 bits/96kHz.
The RODE AI-1 also allows playback and monitoring of audio, either directly from the microphone or via playback from the recording software. This is done via a high-quality discrete headphone amplifier and outputs via either the headphone output on the front of the unit or the balanced outputs on the rear of the unit.
The AI-1 is a professional-grade single-channel audio interface that delivers exceptional audio quality for everything from bedroom music recording to live streaming and podcasting.
Key Features:
- Professional-grade single-channel audio interface
- Neutrik combo jack for connecting microphones, guitars, synthesizers, and other instruments
- Studio-grade preamp with level indicator
- High-power headphone amplifier
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 a plug-in, set the 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.
Get Connected and Create
The AI-1 features a high-quality Neutrik combo jack for connecting both XLR and ¼-inch cables, so you can plug in your microphone, guitar, bass, or synthesizer with ease. Switchable phantom power ensures any microphone is accommodated, while the simple indicator LED allows you to monitor your input level for crystal-clear audio every time.
Every AI-1 also comes with a free version of Ableton Lite, so you can get a recording right away. Whether you’re live streaming or making multi-layered music, the AI-1 will capture your sonic vision in every detail.

Eric –
I bought this as part of building a podcasting setup. Super easy to use, and very nice build quality. The pre-amp is very clean. I’ve got a Shure SM7B plugged into it, and regularly turn the gain all the way up with no discernible noise.
Would recommend this totally!
