Recording from a microphone and/or instrument
Connect the iTrack One Pre to your iOS device using the red Lightning cable supplied. Open the
recording app on the device; the green ON LED will light after a few seconds, confirming that the two
devices are communicating correctly.
POWER
Now connect your audio source. The “Combi” type INPUT socket accepts signals from microphones
or instruments – e.g., guitars or bass guitars.
NOTE: Certain electronic instruments, e.g., keyboards and drum machines may also work
satisfactorily with the iTrack One Pre, though no guarantee can be given for any particular
instrument. Also, bear in mind that the iTrack One Pre is a mono device, and you may need to
take this into account when programming the instrument.
Mics connect via a 3-pin XLR plug; you will probably have one on the end of your microphone cable.
If the microphone needs phantom power to operate (i.e., it is a condenser or active ribbon mic),
switch the phantom power on AFTER plugging the mic in. If all is well, the 48V LED will light green.
If it lights red, the iTrack One Pre is in current limiting mode and the phantom power voltage will
be reduced. If this happens, connect the iTrack One Pre to an external USB power supply using the
black USB cable supplied.
