I wanted a way to easily record the full stereo output of Ableton Live to my phone. I've tried several methods, all with varying levels of success, but this thing does the trick phenomenally. I've always wanted just a hardware connection for that sort of thing to omit the headache of software audio routing (as I'm on Windows and with ASIO drivers setting everything up can be a pain. Voicemeeter Banana can only get you so far lol). The one thing I wish I'd realized before purchasing this was that it has to option to send a stereo signal via one 3.5mm jack as opposed to making 2 mono signals stereo (which you can also do). I bought a stereo to mono splitter cable for this thing, but I didn't even need it! All I needed was a regular 3.5mm audio cable and I was all set. My only real complaint is that as far as I can tell the direct monitoring feature is only in mono, so if I want to listen to a full stereo mix in real time (say, for example, like monitoring my mix for singing and piano playing on a TikTok live) I have to have a separate output for my headphones. The problem that is created there is that now I can't actively listen for clipping on the Røde input, which makes precisely setting the gain a little hairy at times. The fact that it plugs into the USB C port on my phone also means that I can't charge my phone while I'm using this unit, which is a little unfortunate. I could probably use a splitter dongle to get around that, but I'm not entirely certain that doing so wouldn't damage either the product or my phone. Technology is expensive enough without the potential risk of accidentally frying your favorite toys, lol. All in all, this thing is absolutely amazing. It's all I wanted and more, and my only gripes with it are nitpicky and not unexpected. This product makes setup and capturing a breeze; it's a total game changer!

I did a stereo loopback test and looked for error spurs and the like in spectral analysis and didn’t find much. At least 100db dynamic range as specified though I didn’t do that specific measurement. Minimal distortion but I found informally that clipping distortion shows up a little below full scale so leave ample headroom for a clean print. Nice they include little cables and the apps seem to work on iPad though designed for iPhone. There is a direct low latency monitoring setting via the rode central app. While the unit looks like it should have 4 in 2 out and maybe even 6 out (TRRS) it is stereo in and out only, though the app lets you pick options on the ins. A cheaper “COOLSELL” converter is sold here that offers a charging passthru port that’s nice, with this RODE you will need a splitter/camera adapter or wireless power or usb hub or something and those can be problematic in recording. I found a ZOOAUX splitter that worked here. No idea of the COOLSELL has the similar spec and performance, their DAC can run 192K but their ADC runs 48KHz. This is a nice way of getting audio in and out of the mobile device, very tiny box, the cables are more of a pain. Keeping it.

I am a musician. I wanted to up my game of taking videos with my phone. I got the AI-Micro. I use a dual wireless lav mic system in one channel. And i take the headphone output from my guitar's pedal board into the second channel. The app on the phone allows me to get a good mix right off the bat. It does take a little experimentation to get it right. But now I can take videos with my android phone and the audio is excellent. There is a bit of unwanted noise. But it is acceptable. And i dont know if this noise is coming from my pedal board, the lav mics, or the AI-micro. Regardless, this little devices does what I need it to do, and does that well. A+ product.

I ordered this mainly to use with Discord on iOS on the iPad Pro. However, it simply refuses to work because it is not recognized as a headset. It seems to be a limitation on iOS regarding call audio. The iPad just immediately swaps to the built in mic/speaker as soon as you join a call. The AI Micro works in literally every other app I tried. It worked perfectly well on my PC. It does the same thing on my android phone too so it seems to be a limitation of Discord. It's the smallest audio interface I've ever come across which means its great for recording on phones. I can also imagine using this with my vr headset and a lav mic. ------ Edit: I got the AI Micro to work on my Samsung S8+ by toggling a developer option in Android that was disabling USB audio devices. However, it still doesn't work in Discord since it seems mobile discord will only use 'headsets'.

Antes de usarlo activa la función OTG en tu teléfono smartfone de lo contrario no funciona. Lo digo porque el manual no lo dice. Me decepcionó porque no graba audio para transmisiones en vivo.

Received this item as scheduled. Audio interface is simple and easy to use. I didn't even read the instructions. It works as advertised. My only surprise was how small it is.

I wanted to use this Rode AI-Micro with my guitar and my Samsung S22+ for backtracks but my Samsung s22+ would not identify this Rode AI-Micro as OTG and it would only connect in charge mode. I tried multiple OTG cables and adapters that were recommended. The Samsung S22+ was not OTG locked and other USB-c devices connected to the Samsung S22+ as OTG no issue. My Windows PC did detect the Rode AI-Micro fine, just not my Android Samsung S22+. According to product description and support guidance it should have worked. It was unusable and I returned it.
