GETTING STARTED
Using the iTrack Solo with an iOS device
Powering the iTrack Solo
The iTrack Solo is an active device, and needs a DC power source to operate. It is important to
remember that when you use the iTrack Solo with an iPad, it will not be powered from the iOS device
via the interface cable.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the iTrack Solo to a standard Apple USB Power Supply
(or other standard USB power supply). One of these is supplied with every iOS device, or can be
obtained separately. The front panel USB LED (7) will illuminate when the iTrack Solo is powered
and connected.
It is also important to note that when connected in this way, the iTrack Solo will not charge the iOS
device’s internal battery.
Connections to your iOS device
The supplied iOS interface cable should be connected between the DEVICE LINK port on the rear of
the iTrack Solo and your iPad. This cable will carry the audio between the recording app on your iOS
device and the iTrack Solo in both directions, but does not carry DC power in either direction (see
above).
See “Example of use” on page 12 for details of how to connect audio sources and monitoring
systems to the iTrack Solo.
NOTE: When using the iTrack Solo with an iPad, please enable “Airplane Mode” in the settings menu
to avoid experiencing any interference during recording and playback.
