The AI-Micro allows you to capture high-quality audio on your mobile or computer with ease. It features two 3.5mm inputs for connecting a wide range of microphones, including RØDE VideoMics, lavaliers, and wireless systems like the Wireless GO.

Input 1 can also be configured as a single stereo TRS input for use with stereo microphones that do not require plug-in power.
High-quality microphone preamps and high-resolution (24-bit/48kHz) recording ensure crystal-clear audio capture on any device, with a headphone output for echo-free audio monitoring and playback.

The portable recording has never been easier.
Weighing less than 20 grams, the AI-Micro is extremely compact and lightweight. Just add two lavalier microphones and you have a complete, studio-quality recording setup that fits in your pocket. Perfect for interviews in the field, on-the-go podcasting, and making video calls or live streaming at home.
