Description
The Rode AI-1 is a compact 24 bit 96 kHz audio interface with 1 analog input. Thanks to the sample rate of 96 kHz, you record sound in studio quality. This allows you to use the sound card for making professional microphone recordings. Thanks to the 48V phantom power, you can record high-quality sound with a condenser microphone, such as the Rode NT1000. Because the interface is compact in size, you can easily take it with you. This makes the interface suitable for producers and audio engineers looking for a mobile solution. The AI-1 is equipped with Neutrik connectors. These are high-quality connectors that ensure that you simply connect and disconnect the cables.
