The newly released AI-Micro is a USB audio interface that boasts plug and play connectivity with Mac, Windows, iOS and Android devices. The interface can be used with the entire RØDE app suite including RØDE Connect, RØDE Central and RØDE Reporter and is compatible with any 3.5mm TRS or TRRS microphone (including their own VideoMics).

“With the AI-Micro, we set out to create the perfect solution for recording high-quality audio with a smartphone, tablet or computer using a 3.5mm microphone,” says RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “The intention was to take the core design of our hugely popular SC6-L interface for iPhone and iPad and make it compatible with more devices and adaptable to a wider range of recording applications. By adding a universal USB output, enhanced microphone inputs, and compatibility with RØDE’s powerful app suite, we have absolutely achieved that. The AI-Micro is a must-have for everyone from content creators in need of an ultra-portable recording solution to professionals looking for an easy way to capture great sound while working from home.”

The compactness of the AI-Micro is a marvel for content creators on the go, as you can record audio to your mobile device from literally anywhere. Weighing less than twenty grams, you’ll barely notice it in your hand or travelling with you, which is a good thing.
