This is great Rode. Really looking forward to trying this out. And I'm glad you're acknowledging that USB-C is the future ;)
I purchased the kit a few days ago and I am very happy I did. I can't believe I am able to reach this level of quality at my home office, it sounds like I am in an expensive studio. The mic and the shock mount as simply superb. One of the best audio equipment purchases I've ever made. Thanks Rhode!
Can we hear any samples from your office?
Wich headphones do you USE in this interface?
Wich studio headphones are u using
such fabulous vocals at the end !
... I just got my NT-1 kit with the AI-1 deliverd at home today ... now figuring out how it all works ... first results are astonishing ;)
that USB-c connection is wild, response is superb and headphones amp is very discreet.. The NT-1 is pure anologue wave in it's purest form. compliments ...
love,hugs and greetings from LJ030 from Utrecht, the Netherlands :)
I got it yesterday! excellent 👌 I love it
SOLD! Was looking at MOTU M4 but...later perhaps. (nil stock). Michael really really nails it too. Super smooth, couldn't be a better demo I don't think. Thx Ryan! Thx Michael! Thx Rode -> AUSTRALIA!
Good job Rode!
Just bought mine as soon I saw this video!!! 🙌🏼
Soooo. Got the AI-1 together with the PodMic but my iMac don’t recognize it. The AI-1 works fine with the NTG5 tho but not with the PodMic 😟
Good news for me I see you guys use my exact headset so now I know it can be powered by this interfaces 😀😊
Very nice voice and the guitar.
Usb C is the future. Thx Rode.
The NT1 and the AI-1 have pretty much the quietest preamps I have ever heard. There is almost no line noise! How do you guys manage to achieve that?
ElectroBOOM, from January I will shoot my first documentary. The Lavelier or the shotgun mic would help me a lot to create a great first documentary. I hope you will pick me. Otherwise I always got my unibrown to use as a deadcat on my camera to decrease the noise.
Big love 💛
Perfect
rode to success
Nice !
Sydney, Australia (December 5, 2017)-RØDE Microphones has released the AI-1, marking its first foray into the realm of USB audio interfaces, available on its own or as part of a new bundle, The Complete Studio Kit.
Hoping they release a bigger version, an AI - 2 perhaps with a second XLR jack for stereo, or just micing an instrument and vocal simultaneously.
What an incredible video 🤣
If you're a headphone nut, this makes a great headphone amp! It sounds like a Class A amp to my ears and it really allows my high impedence cans to stretch their legs. Noice.
Hi, can this also be used as a stand-alone preamp/headphone amp unit? Powering it with USB power from the wall instead of hooking it up to a computer?
Is it possible to join L&R outputs into a stereo jack and use the adapter cable coming with the latest iPhones for line in to lightning in order to use it with iPhone or iPad?
I have question is the XLR input stereo audio capable so I can I Use a stereo combiner cable
I have the studio it ...Still looking How to use it with iphone x video recording.
hi, is this enough to power the Rode Procaster microphone?
Can the Rode Ai 1 interface be used with apple iPad Pro which has a USB port for charging the iPad. If yes will it also charge then iPad ?
Can i connect a 710 preamp to it? I heard I could but i needva line input for the best result. I dont want to waste the signal or break anything.
Can someone please tell me if I will damage my RE-20 dynamic microphone if I use the interface with the phantom power on. I ask because the AI-1 interface I just got three days ago keeps the light on, indicating the phantom power will not turn off. I should also mention that it did work properly for the first couple of hours the first day I used it. But the next day it would not turn off.
The instructions that came with it say the power needs to be off when using a dynamic mic.
TrustinJC Have you talked to rode about getting it fixed?
I have really good headphones but they are in 3.5 mm headphone jack can i still pluck them in
Is there a video of the full song.
can this power dt990's with a rode podmic, and also could i hear my computer audio throught it like if i was listening to music or playing a game
I have a question does this work as a xlr to usb live feed
Whats the max ohms output for headphones port most interfaces are 30-60 impedance looking for something can push the 80 ohms beyerdynamics pro
Can you release an upgrade?
I love the portability and build of this
I hope for some upgrade and more control
Specially for the speakers out
Thanks for the feedback! You might like the newly announced RØDECaster Duo: rode.com/en/interfaces-and-mixers/rodecaster-series/rodecaster-duo
How long is the USB-C cable?
Adoramos o vídeo,likeee ;* Vem assistir a gente, tem vídeo todos os dias, bjãoo! ❤
I get sound with my headphones but my microphone doesn't worl ( rode AI-1 NY1/ Windows 10) i am confused, can someone help me? I alredy press the phantom on the left but still it doesn't work
what software better to use for it please
can we use this with NT-1A
How about making a dual XLR interface with reasonable price and size? Say around 250?
Would this interface connect to an iPad Pro using the “lightning to usb-c” adapter
Very well but the phantom power will drain your battery faster
I'll le
@@tarr1849 to the 4l3
Yes it will do
when will the price drop
Please tell me does Rode Ai1 work on USB C smartphones? Samsug, a Huawei smartphone?
It's not designed to work with smartphones, sorry. The smartphone won't be able to provide enough power to the AI-1 to work.
I have a question I got a Rode Nt1 Kit that came with the AI-1 interface the sound is great on my pc but I keep trying to use my studio one software but it keeps saying
Usb not found
Failed to open Rode AI-1
Please make sure the speaker configuration is set to stereo
And to make sure sample rates and playback devices match
Please reply back and help
I didn't waste $350 on a Rode Nt1 Kit
5:06 answer for your question.
Hi, can you tell me what the output impedance is on the headphone output please?
It's approximately 4 ohms. Julian Krause reviews and measures audio interfaces, and he recently added Rode AI-1 measurements to his interface chart.
say I have the 48v ON and then I power off and back on the unit, would it retain the 48v setting?
Yes, it retains whatever you left it on 😊
Nice video! I have a question. I know rode ai 1 is a plug and play audio interface. Is it normal without the usb "Eject Icon" or "Safely Remove Hardware on the computer? I don't wanna screw up my usb port.
It'll be fine to disconnect it without clicking an eject icon.
@@rodemic so I just pull the usb cable out from the computer after using it even if it's on?
Is it compatible with RODE Connect?
I need some help, Can I use the AI-1 Audio Interface with the NT2-A ??
Sure can! You'll just need an XLR cable and make sure phantom power is turned on.
Hello friend,
I can't hear the sound of my RODE AL/1, but the microphone works when the computer tests its function, and the green light flashes when I talk into the microphone, but I can't hear the sound inside the earphone, and the music played by the computer is completely fast. How can I solve this problem, thank you
Hey there, our Service Team would be more than happy to help you get to the bottom of this! You can reach them here: rode.com/contact
Not sure why key information is missing - shipping date, price, retailers... I was not able to find anything online. Just about to recommend podcasting sets for my clients and now we may miss out on this.
Not to mention that the SPECIFICATIONS were omitted. :-/
That information will vary by global territory. It's shipping to all dealers this month, visit www.rode.com/wheretobuy to find the contact details for your local stores!
I bet this is a great mic for Discord
No my friend say that i sound worse with the nt1 then with my headset
@@LoFiKami are you using the nt1 or the nt1-a
@@Zizotron nt1 my problem is that this mic has pretty high highs. fixed it with a mixamp
@@LoFiKami do you have a deep voice? Every voice is different and requires diff mixing tbh. the highs would be very useful for my voice tho
@@Zizotron no my voice isnt really high and when mixing music i always have to boost the lows and decrease the highs a bit on almost every voice. thats not because of the mic quality tho it just lets you hear the voice almost 100% real which most of the time doesnt sound good in music like in broadcasts where they always have a bass heavy voice cuz it sounds better
Electroboom brought me here
I can't get the ASIO drivers to work. At all. That is, I can hear playback, but input is soundless. Non ASIO in other programs is working, alas my various DAW's don't show inputs with DX or MME. Im on windows 10. Anyone have any workaround? I have tried usb 2, and usb 3 if that matters
André Herberth S. Thoresen did u ever figure this out? I’ve tried with ableton and go studio and can’t get them to connect
@@trevormastro4953 sadly, I never figured it out. It seems to work on Mac, so I figured it not to be a hardware issue, but a driver issue. I ended up buying a larger interface, as I needed more inputs. Its sad though, as the AI-1 seemed like a solid interface.
Because I pushed the connector full and half and it worked both way, how much ahould I push the Connector of Microphone's cable in to the Audio Interface? Please Help
Hey Ans, I'm not too sure what you're asking here sorry. If you send an email to info@rode.com, our support team will be happy to help!
@@rodemic Fine. Thanks
No included DAWs with this one?
Hey Tony, the AI-1 comes with free Ableton Lite, and this can be claimed upon warranty registration.
I have this together with a NT2-a.
Are you satisfied I thinking of getting both, but I mainly play games and talking to my friends 😀
Yes im satisfied over the quality and i do the same playing and talking to friends.
Does this work with FLStudio
Yes , but there is a bit of an annoying latency issue. Recording with the Asio or Fl Studio Driver is better
when using the nt1 with ai-1, does it use my computers battery? if it does what electricity does it use 220 volts or 110 volts? or is this phantom power something else?
Hey there, yes it will! You can find detailed specs here: edge.rode.com/pdf/page/1854/modules/4021/ai-1_ds_01.pdf
@@rodemic So that means if I buy Ai-1 and maybe a rode dynamic podcaster in Canada and take it to a different country like South Korea which is a 210 volt electricity country it will still both work right?
So you can't record into your computer through the rear XLR output *and* listen to your input through the headphones at the same time?
Also, who's Ryan? Shout him out, I wanna hear his stuff
Oops I meant Michael. Guy deserves a shout for this shit.
As you can clearly see at 1:28, there is NO XLR output on this unit.
Reverend Eslam They’re 1/4” outputs, so they’d be used with M 1/4” - F XLR adapters/cables if you wanted to run them into a system or speakers though. That’s what I meant. But that didn’t answer my initial question.
To answer your question, you are correct. As Ryan stated, when the speakers are plugged-in, the headphone output is muted.
If it could output from the 2 speaker outs and the headphone out (for monitoring) at the same time, I'd pick this thing up.
can we connect nt1a on that?
Yes you can! 😊
Is the combo jack mono or stereo?!?!
It is mono 😊
when i start listening to something new, the ai-1 will distort for about 2 seconds before coming right. Is there a way to stop this
I have the same problem...
I have the same problem from time to time. Hope they will solve it with future firmware update.
Having the same issue
I going to have the same problem haha i going to buy this thing
Same problem here.
Which monitors he is using?Anyone know??
Hey! They are the Event 20/20 BAS, which are now discontinued though.
ElectroBOOM sent me
Serious question, does really the RØDE AI-1 has enough power for the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 OHM?
Rode are you there?
We are! We've just been off enjoying our weekend :) Yes, the AI-1 can power the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm.
hey guys bought my brand new A1-1 & NT1 studio kit and there is a problem driving me nuts. My AI-1 interface sounds work fine on my pc ..but when I open Studio One I get this message
'failed to open Line(Rode AI-1)'
'Please make sure the speaker configuration is set to zero'
'Please make sure the sample rates of your recording and playback devices match'
This has been driving me nuts for days can you suggest a fix for me please.
Unfortunately with lower impedance headphones it creates an unbearable static noise. This is a common issue and you can find many reddit threads about it. It's kind of crazy that even my monitor's audio output performs better.
This seems a perfect upgrade to my Behringer UMC22. Pity it's only available as part of a kit : (
Do you need to unplug your monitors every time you wanna use your headphones alone ? i really don't see how this would be efficient .
The current MacBook Pro uses USB C....the inclusion of both cables would have been better. Nice device though.
Andrew Jones Productions Assuming one would have a MacBook Pro w/ TouchBar, wouldn't you think their phone has USB C as well? Or other devices?
Owners of the new MBPs have USB C - USB C lying around, I do.
Sagax Arcade: some indeed will. I don’t. I bought a cable here (USB C to Lightning/Japan) and it was incredibly expensive. There aren’t too many USB C to USB C cables yet. At least not where I live. I’m sure they will increase as time goes by though. Especially when the third party hard drive manufacturers start including USB C - to USB C. Of course, I would expect to pay for this cable to be in the box. It would just make life easier.
In this price range, this is just an entry-level interface. I bought too, I use as headphone amp, for interface is useless for me. The pots are not the best quality.
It's such a shame that we must buy a fethead or any time of preamp to use this with your own PODMIC(-57dB), i would have loved to buy that combo(PodMic, PSA1, Ai-1, XLR cable) but having to buy a preamp(70$-150$) to get enough gain to use it is a disappointment.
0:26 - Gday any chance you could increase vocals/voice to 75% and music to 15% its really hard to hear you with the music pumping out , videos like this is not a typical music clip or music song. We want to focus on VOCALS . Cheers
Electroboom anyone?
Its a shame that Rode being an Australia brand the gear ends up almost DOUBLE what its sold internationally in USA
True, but its RODE. Worth it IMO. I have to work on and fix AV equipment and their shit makes my life easier.
Saramonic SmartRig at times cheaper with the same quality - 30$
I rode here and nobody here
If you have a decent AI you dont need AI 1,just invest in a good mic and other gear.
He doesn't have it connected to his monitors!
Hey, during recording the headphone output is being used, not the monitors.
I can't find a review that describes how well this works with monitors. I'm looking to replace a Focusrite that has noisy outputs.
wow not a single response from rodes on the questions lol -1 also if you look you can't find the spec on the usb... just calling it usb-c don't mean diddly blokes. it does not state spec on site that i can find either and again... you did NOT answer the question the spec on the usb. usb-c is ONLY the jack and nothing else. another -1 although i like my old NT-1A i don't think i am interested at all on this device due to no answers and no specs cheers
Actually! It's actually crap with no actual headphone volume actually
Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2nd gen) is better than this !! Thank you.
Why is it better? Thank you.
laa vie Focusrite preamps are better than Rode also it has one more guitar/line amp which is missing here in rode. Also with Focusrite we are getting bundled softwares, plugins, vsts which is very useful.
Except the headphone output on the Scarlett is terrible. This one has a much more powerful headphone out.
Interface looks extremely basic , lacks interacting lights and on/off switch
it does have interacting lights and turns off when you unplug it
but does it have loopback?
Unfortunately not, we'd recommend something like the RØDECaster Duo if you're looking for more complex audio routing: rode.com/en/interfaces-and-mixers/rodecaster-series/rodecaster-duo
Whyyyyy only 1 input whyyyyy,
Thanks for the feedback @mr.niceguy4239 - we'll pass it onto the team.
@@rodemic , mic is ok but interface is uselease you cannot put mic and guitar how you will sing one by one,????????? Haayyyyyy what kind of brain you have rode team??????😞😞😞😞
How you will sing together mic in guitar why??? Input is only 1,,,, ????????? It should be 2 mic, and guitar input?????????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
