Rode AI-1 Single-Channel Audio Interface, USB

The first first audio interface brought to you by leading Pro-Audio manufacturer, RØDE Microphones, the AI-1 USB Audio Interface adds studio-quality input and output capabilities and is stacked with incredible technology. It's designed to ensure that recording on your computer is easy, offering versatility and superb sound quality. It has a single Neutrik™ Combo Jack input which takes either a 3-pole XLR, which is common to most microphones, or a ¼" jack, which is common to most electric instruments, such as guitar, bass, etc. Layering tracks is as easy as plug in, set level, and go.
