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'.

I got this for use with the "Hear Birds Again" iPhone application. I built a high-quality Binaural Headset to go with it and i was amazed at how well it worked. I also found that i could use this interface along with my new headphones in the Merlin app. In Merlin it gives you the ability to amplify what you are already hearing while Merlin analyzes it. With the microphone's from the Binaural headset connected you get super human hearing in Merlin. With a Parabolic Dish Directional Microphone connected instead you get highly directional analysis you can hear in the headphones and analyze in Merlin at the same time. The local monitor out feature is what allows this to work so well. This device is a great addition to any digital birders toolkit. I suppose it might also make pretty good spycraft as well!

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.

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!

The AI-Micro works well for recording a stereo signal using my phone, and each mic in port supports trs stereo. However, as soon as I plug in speakers to the monitor port, it introduces a crazy high noise floor. I am now splitting my signal upstream of the AI-Micro so I can monitor without using the headphone jack. This keeps the noise floor at acceptable levels for cleaner recordings.The noisefloor problem doesn't occur with headphones, so if you plan to monitor with headphones, this shouldn't be a problem.

I bought 2 AIMICROs and both did not work. My iPhone 14 Pro does not recognize them, however the Rode apps do. I verified the last AIMICRO does not work at Jump+ Apple Store. I also purchased 3 Rode Lavalier II microphone which works independently with an Apple Lightning Jack adapter. But also returned 2 Lavalier II as a result of testing them alternatingly to figure out why they were not working with the 2 AIMICROs. 3 return runs to the couriers and big waste of my time. I kept the last Lavalier II microphone and hope it will sustain because stuff like this should never happen to a product that is quality built.

I am a karaoke singer. I was looking for a portable sound card to record my speaker audio directly to my mobile & Rode AI Micro did it wonderfully for me. Highly recommended.

Esencial para el acople de micrófonos en los iPhone modernos u otros móviles. Evitas cualquier otro cable intermedio y funciona de maravilla.

Have you ever tried to get a line level input into your smartphone?Well, it is so much harder than you might think. Sure, you can cobble and fudge something together with splitters and converters, but it will always be mono and because these converters are designed for microphones (which require the incoming signal to be amplified) you are risking overloading your precious phone and need to manually attenuate the signal by sending it low from the source. That said, on my iPhone 15 Pro, it did work, but in a very basic, slightly noisy, no direct monitoring kind of a way.The next step up from this, a device type made (can you believable it) by only one company, called a Headset Buddy. For 20 or so quid you can buy their adapter cable which is basically the same as using splitters, aside from the line-level attenuation is handled inside the cable. This is neater, but you are still limited to mono and if you want to hear/monitor what you are sending in, you need (wait for it) more splitters :(.At this point, if a respectable brand like Rode offered something to do this job elegantly, but with the addition of stereo input and direct monitoring and a really clear signal, for around £60, you'd probably bite their hands off. Trouble is, like me, you might not realise that such a device exists because they fail to mention this in any of their promotional literature. The Rode AI-Micro is billed solely as a microphone interface and so appears to be out of scope for this job.Now, all other products capable of fulfilling this simple task are full audio interfaces. These feel like overkill for this task. Even the small ones feel big and clunky in this context and many (even the relatively tiny Zoom AMS-22) cannot be powered from your phone alone and require additional power. So, if like me, portability and simplicity are of key importance, this quickly becomes not that.The happy ending here is, that after buying the Rode AI-Micro and trying it for myself, I realised that it is perfectly suited to this task. Their Rode Reporter app lets you set the device into stereo mode and you can set the DB down to 0db and it works like a dream with any iOS application with recording functionality.I considered giving this product just a one-star rating due to the shocking miscommunication from Rode of what this product is suited for, but I'm so happy with it, that I just couldn't :D
