Q: 1. How much gain does this cable provide? For microphones like the Shure SM7B, which can require 60 dB gain, does it provide enough amplification?

A: The XConnect offers maximum gain level of + 23 dB as well as a maximum input level of + 2 dB. Please be aware that the maximum gain and maximum input signal level specs may vary depending on the operating system you are using and its specific settings and features. This should be sufficient for use with the SM7b.

Q: 2. Would this work with a pair of DPA 4060 microphones, adapted to 3.5mm, to record left/right stereo?

A: The DPA 4060 Lavalier Microphone requires 5 to 10V of power, so it is not an ideal candidate for use with the RODE AI-Micro USB-C Audio Interface, as the phone will not supply ample power for two 4060 mics. In order to use the DPA 4060, each mic would need to have its own phantom power supply, then be adapted for connection to the 3.5mm mic input on the AI-Micro. This means that if the 4060 mics have Microdot connectors, they would need to be adapted first to XLR male using the DPA Microphones DAD6001 Microdot to 3-Pin XLR Adapter (B&H # DPDAD6001BC), then connected to a phantom power supply such as the Rolls PB224 - 2-Channel Portable Battery Operated Phantom Power Supply (B&H # ROPB224), which would then be followed by a short XLR female to 3.5mm TRS male adapter cable like the Kopul XRSM 3-Pin XLR Female to 3.5mm RA Stereo Mini-Plug Cable - 1.5' (B&H # KOXRSM015B) to enable connection to the AI-Micro. The locking 3.5mm adapters for Sennheiser and Sony will not work with the AI Micro, which has non-locking 3.5mm inputs.

Q: 3. Would this work to connect my new PodMic USB connected directly to my Fujifilm X-S10 via the mic jack connection?

A: The RODE AI-Micro USB-C Audio Interface is used to connect 3.5mm microphones to the USB-C port on a computer or smart phone. It cannot be used to connect a USB microphone to an analog input on a camera.

Q: 4. Will input gains set in the Rode app be retained in FiLMiC Pro or other video apps?

A: Rode Central/Rode Connect settings for the RODE AI-Micro USB-C Audio Interface do not sync with your settings for other apps.

Q: 5. Can I connect XLR dynamic mic (Sennheiser 845 etc.) via Rode VXLR+ converter? Thanks.

A: Rode VXLR+ would not be compatible for this kind of solution. Rode VXLR+ is for converting 3.5mm connection microphones that require mic plugin power, going into XLR mic inputs with phantom power available. You can connect the Sennheiser e845 to the Rode AI Micro using a Kopul XRSM cable (KOXRSM15B).

Q: 6. Will this work with the built in camera on iPhone for video recording?

A: Yes, the RODE AI-Micro can be used with the iPhone camera app.

Q: 7. Can the inputs be from a line-level source and be Left/Right to create a stereo input?

A: The RODE AI-Micro USB-C Audio Interface (B&H # ROAIMICRO) is expecting a mic-level signal and may not accept a line-level signal from a device appropriately. If the device output you are using can be attenuated to mic-level, it stands a good chance of working with the AI-Micro as desired. Input 1 can be configured as a single stereo TRS input for use with stereo microphones.

Q: 8. What 1/4" tripod or cold shoe mount would you recommend for this product for taking on the rode? ;)

A: The Rode AI-Micro Ultracompact 2x2 USB Type-C Audio Interface does not have any mounting points to attach, just the 3.5mm and USB connections. Depending on how the AI-Micro is being used, you may be able to mount the device that you are using to record onto a tripod or cold shoe. The AI-Micro can hang freely from the cable used to connect it to the recording device. If you do need to use a tripod or cold shoe, you could use a mini clamp such as the 9.SOLUTIONS Savior Spring Clamp Mini (B&H # 9S9VB5100) to hold the AI-Micro. This particular mini clamp has 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 female mounting points which can be used to mount it on a tripod or stand. The Revo Hot Shoe to 1/4"-20 Male Post Adapter (B&H # RESACS14M) can be used to mount the clamp on a cold shoe.

Q: 9. How could you use this interface into a lightning iphone for extended time? That is, how could you configure things to keep your iPhone charged?

A: The Rode AI-Micro Ultracompact 2x2 USB Type-C Audio Interface can be paired with the Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 Type-A Camera Adapter (BH #APMK0W2AMA) to facilitate both power and audio signals when connected to the iPhone.

Q: 10. Will this work with OM System OM-1 for charging and image down loading?

A: The Olympus CB-USB11 USB Cable can be used to charge and download images from the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mirrorless Camera.
