The Perfect First Step into Home Recording

The name says it all. The Complete Studio Kit comes with everything you need to create studio-quality recordings at home. This includes RØDE’s AI-1 audio interface, NT1 large-diaphragm condenser microphone, SM6 shock mount and pop filter, and all the cables you need to get connected. Every Complete Studio Kit also comes with a free version of able ton Lite recording software, so you can start making music right away.

Easy to Use Superb Sound

The AI-1’s streamlined form factor means getting set up is as easy as plug in, adjust levels and go. Its single input is a high-quality Neutrik combi-jack that accommodates both XLR and ¼-inch cables, so you can plug in your microphone, guitar, bass or synthesizer with ease. The AI-1 delivers 48V phantom power and features a level indicator for ensuring you don’t overload its preamp. Combined with the NT1, the AI-1 delivers crystal-clear audio for any application, whether you’re recording spoken word for a podcast or complex, multi-layered music.

Superior Audio Monitoring

Not only does the AI-1 deliver crystal-clear audio to your recording software, but your headphones have never sounded sweeter thanks to its discreet, high-power headphone amplifier. Audio playback is easy with a single level control and switchable zero-latency monitoring for eliminating echo while tracking vocals or instruments. The AI-1 also features balanced ¼-inch outputs for connecting your favorite speakers.
