Installation and setup

For iOS users: when working with iOS devices, iRig Pro Duo I/O only works when powered by two AA batteries.
See specifications about battery life. Insert the included AA batteries in the battery compartment on the bottom
side of iRig Pro Duo I/O. If you want to play for a long time, you can connect the DC In port on iRig Pro Duo I/O
to an external 9VDC - 500mA (minimum) PSU, for unlimited playing time without a battery.

IMPORTANT: the external power supply will NOT charge the device’s battery.

For MAC/PC and Android users: when connected to an USB class compliant host, iRig Pro Duo I/O can be
powered as follow:

• By internal AA batteries;

• USB powered, ONLY if the host device is capable of providing enough current. When connected to Android

devices, we recommend that you use the internal batteries or the external PSU to avoid running out of
battery life;

• By external 9V PSU (no matter if batteries are installed).

IMPORTANT: iRig Pro Duo I/O is powered by
batteries even when it is connected to a USB port.
This allows it to work even with USB ports that can
only provide a small amount of current. If you want
your iRig Pro Duo I/O to be powered by the USB

9VDC

from 500mA up

port please remember to REMOVE the batteries
from it.
