SPEAKERS*

FOOTSWITCH*

* not include

+ iPad is trademark of Apple Inc.

• WARNING: Only put on your headphones or turn on your speakers AFTER turning on the iO Dock.

• You can use up to two TS footswitches with iO Dock by connecting them to a TRS "splitter"

connected to the FOOTSWITCH jack.

• When recording a guitar or bass with an active pickup, set the iO Dock's GUITAR / MIC/LINE
SWITCH to "MIC/LINE." If your instrument uses a passive pickup, set the switch to "GUITAR."

• To reduce electrical hum at high gain settings, keep the iO Dock's power supply away from your
guitar cable and the iO Dock's channel inputs.

• You can upgrade iO Dock's firmware yourself. Visit www.alesis.com/iodock

and click on "Docs

and Downloads" to see if there are any available firmware updates.

TOP & REAR PANEL FEATURES

1. DOCK – Connect your iPad here.

2. DC INPUT – Connect the included power

adapter (6V, 3A) here, then connect the
adapter to wall power.

3. POWER SWITCH – Turns the iO Dock on

and off.

4. CABLE RESTRAINT – To prevent

accidentally unplugging, wrap the power
adapter cable around this restraint.

5. MAIN OUT – Use standard 1/4" TRS cables

to connect these outputs to a speaker or
amplifier system. The level of these outputs
is controlled by the MAIN knob.

6. DIRECT MONITORING SWITCH – Set this

switch to "ON" to listen directly to your input
sources without any processing from the
iPad.

7. MIC/LINE INPUT – Connect a microphone or

line-level device to this input with an XLR or
1/4" TRS cable.

8. GUITAR / MIC/LINE INPUT – Connect a

microphone, line-level device or guitar to this input with an XLR or 1/4" TRS cable.

9. GUITAR / MIC/LINE SWITCH – When this switch is in the "GUITAR" position, the channel will serve as

a high-impedance input for connecting guitar or bass instruments. When the switch is in the "MIC/LINE"
position, the channel will accept mic or line-level signals.

10. GAIN – Adjusts the input's gain level.

11. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH – This switch activates and deactivates phantom power. When

activated, phantom power supplies +48V to both XLR mic inputs. Please note that most dynamic
microphones do not require phantom power, while most condenser microphones do. Consult your
microphone's documentation to find out whether it needs phantom power.

12. FOOTSWITCH – Connect a remote footswitch to this input with a 1/4” cable. Pressing the footswitch

will alternately send MIDI start or stop messages to the iPad.

13. VIDEO OUT – Use a standard composite video cable (RCA) to connect this output to the composite

video input of your playback device.
