Review: Usual Rode Quality - I bought this to fix the low audio level on a channel in a church livestream, to replace a simple 3.5mm jack to USB adapter by having a programmable amplifier (ProAm line levels don't match). As it turned out, I was able to source another channel route that had the required level. I had this set to be returned, unneeded, but before dropping it into the Post Office I decided to keep it anyway. I've several church AV systems in our parish still to upgrade and it might come in useful later on. Being able to preset the gain (and different for each channel) was something I recall would have been useful on a previous rig-up. Even if not in a final rig, it's useful to have it to to hand for tests. As a piece of audio kit it's well made and, as far as I can tell with my own trials, it does exactly what Rode claim. Being able to rely on kit, especially when relying on non-tech folk to run it, is essential. Rode kit is never in the bargain bin (price-wise) but I've never, so far, been able to fault Rode quality.
Review: Works perfectly as a stereo line input.. but strangely, they never mention that! - 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect
*by A***Y on 28 December 2024*

I had a really big issue using my lav mic with my computer. Its really high quality, but my computer wasn't providing enough oomf to get a good signal from it. I tried lots of different solutions, such as getting a soundblaster, little USB to 3.5mm adapters, TTRS adapters. Lots of things. This sorted it out for me, now I can use my studio headphones and a studio mic together, which I've been trying to sort out for ages. Also works great with my phone, and is surprising for such a tiny device.
