With the SubZero BASE-1, getting started recording couldn't be easier. Designed with a plug-and-play ethos, the AI1 USB interface requires no additional drivers, meaning you can connect it to your computer and start recording straight away. The included SZC-1 condenser microphone is directly compatible with the interface, and can be connected using the bundled XLR cable. Plus, the SZ-MH1 monitoring headphones provide a crystal clear listening experience whilst minimising unwanted bleed through their closed-back design.
This hassle-free setup is ideal for beginners and seasoned pros alike, providing a seamless, straightforward path to capturing high-quality audio. The convenience of this approach allows you to focus more on your creativity, and less on technical setups.
Introducing the SubZero AI1, your first step towards professional recordings. Thanks to the interface's studio-grade preamp, every detail of your voice/instrument is captured with clarity and precision. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments, or electric guitars, the AI1 provides the fidelity needed for professional results. Its ability to handle 24-bit/192kHz recording means your projects will have the high-resolution audio required for commercial releases or streaming.
The AI1 shines in its simplicity. It's a plug-and-play device, meaning you won't waste any time with driver installations. Just connect it to your computer via USB, and you're ready to start recording. This ease of use extends to its direct monitoring feature, allowing for zero-latency tracking. Now, you can hear exactly what you're recording in real time, a crucial feature for nailing the perfect take.
The AI1 also boasts optional control panel software and drivers. This allows you to expand its uses, providing virtual audio channels and loopback functionality. This makes it possible to mix and record internal audio signals from various audio applications. The driver also provides compatibility with ASIO for ultra-low latency recordings. To download the driver, please head to the SubZero Audio Driver Downloads page, and locate the SubZero SZ-AI1 & BASE-1 Drivers.
Designed for creators on the go, the AI1 is USB-powered. This means you don't need an external power source—just your laptop (or even a portable power bank!). Whether you're recording a podcast in a cafe or laying down some guitar tracks in a hotel room, the AI1 makes it possible. Its compact size and lightweight design further enhance its portability, making it an essential tool for musicians and podcasters who are always on the move.
Alongside the interface's combo port on input 1 is a switchable line/hi-Z port on input 2. This allows you to swap seamlessly between recording line level inputs such as guitar multi-effects units, synthesizers and keyboards, to directly recording hi-Z inputs such as guitars and basses - without the need for a DI box!
Plus, if your microphone requires phantom power to operate, the AI1 has you covered, offering the option to provide an industry-standard 48V to any microphone connected via the combo input.
Latency can be a deal-breaker during recording sessions, but the AI1's direct monitoring feature eliminates this issue. By allowing you to hear your performance in real-time, without delay, you can focus on your performance without being thrown off by lag. This is especially valuable when recording intricate parts or when precise timing is everything. The AI1 makes sure that what you play is exactly what you hear, ensuring your recordings are always tight and in sync.
The SZ-MH1 Monitoring Headphones included in this pack are a game-changer for those who need accurate sound reproduction. With their closed-back design and padded ear cups, these headphones provide a tight, focused sound along with comfort during extended listening sessions. Whether mixing your latest track or editing a podcast, the clarity and detail these headphones offer make them an invaluable tool in your audio arsenal.
At the heart of any good audio recording is a quality microphone, and the SZC-1 Condenser Microphone does not disappoint. Designed to capture every detail, its uni-directional polar pattern ensures your recordings are focused and free from unwanted background noise. Whether you're recording vocals, instruments, or any other audio source, this microphone ensures your recordings are of the highest quality, with every nuance faithfully reproduced.
The latest in music technology, for modern musicians and producers. SubZero combines innovation and quality, with the determination to help you get the sound you want. From studio and guitars, to powerful PA systems and home audio setups - SubZero is all about cutting-edge audio.
