Rode AI-1 Audio Interface>

Rode stands out among audio manufacturers for products of consistemtly high quality, great pricepoint and of course they're made right here in Australia. The Rode AI -1 USB audio interface is no exception. When my son got fed up with using a digital audio recoirder as an interface for his gaming streams we decided to look online for a dedicated interface that wouldn't break the bank. I serched for one of the popular brands that I knew was a standard among the gaming fraternity. At around $300 I was keen to look around beyioond the usual suspects. I came across this little Rode interface and the reviews all seemd to be glowing on build and performance. To my dismay the AI-1 had sold out in every store I searched in Victoria and found one at Queensland Sound and Lighting. It came in a matter of a few days. This interface was so easy to set up, just a couple of tweaks of the computer's settings and it was up and running. It's a small form factor and doesn't clog up his desk, built like a tank and does exactly what it is supposed to do. With a single XLR/TRS plug with phantom power and a headphone momitoring socket and two lines out, this device is exceptionally well priced at $179 - way below the price of similar quality competitors. And it's made right here, so warranty and service are not an issue. A highly recommended pice of kit!
