Sydney, Australia (November 4, 2021)—Røde has introduced the AI-Micro, a compact dual-channel interface for recording to a mobile device or computer.
Intended for for mobile journalists and content creators, the unit features two auto-sensing inputs for connecting 3.5mm microphones, a high-power headphone output, and a universal USB output for use with both iOS and Android devices.
The AI-Micro features two microphone inputs with high-quality preamps and can record high-resolution 24-bit/48kHz audio. These are auto-sensing inputs that detect whether a TRS or TRRS microphone is connected and automatically adapt to accommodate; no adaptors needed.
