RODE AI-Micro - Record 2 Lavaliers to your Phone, Mac, or PC

In this episode, we have a look at the RODE AI-Micro which allows you to record two lavalier microphones to your iPhone, Android device, iPad, Mac, or PC. It has 2 microphone inputs, a headphone output, and a USB-C output which connects to your mobile or computer. The AI-Micro is a handy little recording interface for enthusiast creators who need to be nimble and mobile. We also recorded this episode with the new RODE Lavalier II so you can hear how that new microphone sounds.
