Rode AI-Micro Dual-Channel Audio Interface

The AI-Micro is a dual-channel USB interface small enough to leave clipped to a camera bag. Two auto-sensing 3.5mm inputs take TRS or TRRS plugs, so a VideoMic, a pair of lavaliers, a wireless receiver or a stereo microphone connects without an adaptor chain, and the interface works out which it is looking at.

It is bus-powered over USB-C and carries 26dB of analog gain, a 100dB input dynamic range and a 3.5mm headphone output rated at 125mW into 32 ohms for monitoring while you record. Recording runs at 24-bit/48kHz, and the same unit works with macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, which is why it ships with three cables rather than one.
