Audio Array AI-04 HD 2x2 Gen 3 Audio Interface | Premium Mic Pre-Amps | 48V Phantom Power | 24bit/192kHz Hi-Fi Recording | XLR/MIC/LINE inputs | Plug & Play-No Drivers | 2 in 3 out | Metal Body | Red

I purchased the Audio Array AI-04 for content creation, voice-over recording, and general audio testing, and I am genuinely impressed with what it offers at this price. The sound quality is clean, the preamps provide decent gain for normal vocals, and the 24-bit/192kHz recording support is a great addition in this budget segment. The Hi-Z input works well with guitars and bass guitars, phantom power supports condenser microphones, and the direct monitoring feature is useful for latency-free monitoring while recording. I also liked the compact metal body and the ability to use it with both computers and smartphones. It may not replace high-end professional interfaces, and extreme gain settings can introduce some hiss, but for beginners, students, podcasters, singers, and content creators, it delivers excellent value for money. Overall, a solid entry-level audio interface that gets the fundamentals right.

I use this mic for recording through my shotgun microphone as a boom mic setup and the output is really great , it gives really great sound quality and monitoring is handy as well with good gain control , considering my microphone requires hefty gain for correct sensitivity also the low pass filter really works well and also the other input is very well optimised for instruments especially electric guitars , it works with very less static for the given price segment and is a good investment for home studios and indie filmmakers who can’t afford a field recorder

This product has been a huge disappointment for me as a Mac user. I wish I had paid more attention to the negative reviews instead of relying on the inflated 4-star ratings. The audio constantly lags, cuts out, and breaks up. After reading all the glowing reviews, I set it up and started using it for both client and internal calls, only to discover that barely 50–60% of my voice was getting through. The rest was chopped up, distorted, or missing entirely. I was specifically looking for a plug-and-play audio interface, and based on the product description, this seemed like a good fit. What I didn't realize is that it's clearly not optimized for Mac. I've tested it on my iMac, MacBook, and iPhone, and the experience has been poor across all of them. On the iPhone, it isn't even recognized. I tried everything I could think of: swapping cables, buying a high-quality USB-C to USB-C cable, adjusting audio settings, changing sample rates in Audio MIDI Setup, and even powering it with an external charger. Nothing fixed the issue. While writing this review, I came across other Mac users reporting the same problems, which confirms that I'm not the only one experiencing this. If you're a Mac user, I strongly recommend avoiding this product. It seems to work reasonably well on Windows, but for Mac, it's been nothing but trouble.

This interface is really impressive, the build quality feels solid and reliable. The audio quality is also very good, making it a great choice for beginners in music production or audio work. It’s simple to use, performs consistently, and delivers clear sound without any hassle. If you’re just starting out in music, this is definitely one of the best go-to options in its price range.

Audio Array is seriously one of the most underrated audio brands/channels right now. The quality, clarity, and professionalism in both the products and presentation are impressive. Their content is actually useful for creators, podcasters, musicians, and anyone building a professional audio setup instead of just pushing random marketing. What stands out is the balance between affordability and performance. The microphones, audio interfaces, and studio gear look premium while still being accessible for beginners and growing creators. The channel also maintains a clean and informative style which is rare nowadays. Wishing the entire Audio Array team massive success ahead. Keep raising the standard for audio creators in India. 🔥🎙️ — Paresh Rajpurohit

Been using this from the past 6 months, seriously one of the best interface in this price range. I have connected my mic, studio monitors, headphones and it's working very fine. I'll definitely recommend this for beginner producers like me and it's a great way to start your journey.

The first thing is that it comes without any software installation media and the device is declared to be used in plug and play mode. By the way it does not detect my condenser microphone at all. Phantom power was powered on but don't know. Tried a lot but it did not help. So it was useful for me only to connect headphone as I was using USB microphone as an alternative. Now sad to inform that the interface has stopped detecting headphone also. So I just have to throw it away as it is of no use.

I like everything about this product so far. I recorded guitar before using a direct output to USB before via a single cord. The sound quality of this product is amazing. I'm sure if you're looking for a lot more you can find it in terms of audio interfaces, but for only $50 or so this sounds amazing. I use FL Studios and it was super easy to get this set up on it. 5 out of 5 stars, I would definitely recommend buying this product if you're looking for an easy, slim, and inexpensive way to record guitars, and vocals.

This is very similar to a Focusrite Scarlett. It sounds great with good control over what you are doing. It has no problem driving some Audiotechnica ATH-M50 headsets. Since it has two microphone inputs, it would be nice if it had two headphone jacks, but a simple "Y" cord fixes that.

It worked like a charm when I first got it, now it's completely unresponsive. I get that message everytime I connect it to something if it even gets detected and I know it isn't the wire I'm using because it connects my microphone to various devices with no problems whatsoever. Tried reaching out to support, zero help at ALL. First of all the warranty is a complete scam as the message "You may always contact us directly at 123-456-7890 for faster service." when you submit the form couldn't make that any clearer, but even the number they give on the card is completely fake and can't be reached. I wanted something cheap and quick and while it initially worked, it's bound to fail eventually. DON'T buy this, save your money and get something more worth it please.

I bought this hunk in September. I had life happen and didn't get to open it and try it until mid-November. Hardly any instructions to speak of. NO support! When I was able to get it working, somewhat, the unit was so loud with hiss that it was completely unusable! I looked at returning it and I see that my window to return this garbage passed before I even had the opportunity to open it! Total garbage! No support. No real instructions I'm being too harsh. I CAN use this unit after all. I'll use it to keep the cover on my four-wheeler. Do not buy this!!!!!

Works fantastic and as intended, converting my XLR to USB while amplifying the sound
