The AI-1 has a single Neutrik Combo XLR/jack input to which you can directly connect a microphone or perhaps a guitar or bass, adjust the gain level and start recording. Of course there is +48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
For listening, there are analogue balanced TRS outputs (6.3mm jack) on the rear panel and a headphone output with separate volume control on the front panel.
