RODE AI-Micro Compact Audio Interface

The RODE AI-Micro Compact Audio Interface is an ultra-compact dual-channel audio interface for recording high-quality audio to a mobile device or computer anywhere. It features two 3.5mm inputs for use with a wide variety of microphones. These are autosensing inputs that detect whether a TRS or TRRS microphone is connected and automatically switch to accommodate. It also features a high-quality headphone output for zero-latency audio monitoring and playback. The AI-Micro connects seamlessly to USB-A, USB-C and Lightning devices via its universal USB output and is compatible with the RODE app suite for accessing expanded features and functionality, on-the-go configuration, and broadcast-quality recording on any device.

With two mini-jack mic inputs and a USB Type-C output, the AI-Micro lets you simultaneously record two mics to your computer or mobile device at up to 24-bit / 48 kHz digital resolution. It's ideal for interviews, podcasts, live streaming, and more. Alternatively, input 1 can be configured as a single stereo TRS input for use with stereo microphones.

The two 3.5mm inputs are auto-sensing and detect whether a TRS or TRRS microphone is connected, automatically switching to accommodate a wide variety of separately available mics such as the SmartLav+, Lavalier GO, RODELink Lav, any VideoMic with 3.5mm outputs, and more.

The AI-Micro also features a high-quality 3.5mm headphone output for zero-latency audio monitoring and playback.

Thanks to the supplied cables, the AI-Micro can connect seamlessly to USB Type-A, USB Type-C, and Lightning devices. Use it with your Mac/Windows computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone/tablet.

It is compatible with the Rode app suite including Rode Central, Rode Connect, and Rode Reporter, for accessing expanded features and functionality, on-the-go configuration, and broadcast-quality recording on any device.

Easily held in the palm of your hand or tucked away in your pocket, the AI-Micro boasts an exceptionally small footprint. Plus, it is bus-powered, so you never have to worry about swapping batteries or recharging them.
