Overview
Plugging a lavalier or camera mic into a phone or laptop is what the RODE AI-Micro is for, auto-detecting TRS and TRRS plugs on two channels. A headphone output monitors without delay, and three cable types come in the box.
Two mics into one tiny device makes interviews and vlogs simple on any phone or computer. Specs like bit depth and sample rate are not listed.
Who it's for
Vloggers, journalists and remote workers using lavaliers or camera mics. Studio recordists with XLR mics need a different interface.
Pros and cons
- Two mic inputs

Performance notes
Auto-sensing inputs match the plug type so mics work without menus. Recording quality depends on the microphones and the connected device's app, with the headphone output used for real-time checks.
