XLR MICROPHONE AND USB INTERFACE KIT
RØDE NT1 + AI-1 Complete Studio Kit: 1-inch NT1 Condenser Capsule
Build a home recording chain around the original black RØDE NT1 condenser and the AI-1 USB audio interface. This kit combines a low-noise studio microphone with a mic/instrument input, headphone monitoring and balanced speaker outputs.
The supplied SM6 shock mount, pop filter and XLR cable make the parts work together. The microphone is the legacy XLR NT1 rated at 4.5dBA self-noise, rather than the USB-equipped NT1 5th Generation.

Explore the Features

FEATURE 01
1-inch NT1 Condenser Capsule
Capture vocals, spoken word and acoustic instruments with a large gold-sputtered capsule. The cardioid pickup makes placement deliberate: point the correct side towards the source.
FEATURE 02
4.5dBA Microphone Self-Noise
Low electronic self-noise helps retain detail on softer performances. Room noise and microphone distance still influence how clean the final recording sounds.

FEATURE 03
One Flexible Combo Input
The AI-1’s Neutrik combo input accepts an XLR microphone or a 1/4-inch instrument connection. It is one input channel, so these are alternative uses rather than two simultaneous recording sources.
FEATURE 04
48V Phantom Power
The interface supplies the condenser microphone’s required power. Connect the XLR cable securely, turn monitoring down and follow the interface’s power procedure when setting up.

FEATURE 05
24-bit Recording up to 96kHz
The AI-1 supports 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates at 24-bit resolution. Choose a session format that your software and intended delivery support.

FEATURE 06
Direct Headphone Monitoring
Switchable direct monitoring helps you hear the live input without a delayed software return. Use the headphone level control to set a comfortable listening level.
FEATURE 07
Balanced Speaker Outputs
Two impedance-balanced 1/4-inch outputs connect to suitable powered monitors. They give the same interface a role in playback and mix checking as well as recording.

FEATURE 08
SM6 Mount, Pop Filter and XLR Cable
The suspension mount helps control mechanical vibration and its pop filter reduces breath bursts. A compatible microphone stand and headphones remain useful additions to the setup.

FEATURE 09
USB-Powered Desktop Interface
The AI-1 receives power from the USB host, including the power needed for its phantom supply. Use a compatible powered USB connection and a data-capable cable.
Make It Work in Your Setup
Connect the NT1 to the AI-1 with XLR, connect the interface to the computer and select AI-1 in your recording application. Set gain while delivering the loudest part of the performance.
Use the direct-monitor function for tracking and check that your software is not also returning a delayed copy. Choose a support that can carry the microphone and shock mount together.
