CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Notes:

yWhen recording a guitar or bass with an active pickup, set the iO4 's MIC/LINE / GUITAR SWITCH to

"MIC/LINE." If your instrument uses a passive pickup, set the switch to "GUITAR."

yPlug the iO4 directly into your computer, and avoid using a USB hub. Hubs can interfere with the iO4 's

audio and MIDI timing signals.

yTo reduce electrical hum at high gain settings, keep the iO4 's power supply away from your guitar cable

and the iO4 's channel inputs.

Before turning on the iO4's power, do the following:

1. Ensure all cable connections have been made correctly.

2. Ensure the volume controls for your amplifier or speakers are turned down.

3. Insert the Power jack into the [POWER] input on the rear panel of the iO4 and plug the power adapter into

an AC outlet.

4. Then power-up the iO4.

5. Turn on the power of your amplifier or speakers, and adjust the Gain and Main volume controls on the

iO4.

TOP PANEL FEATURES

1. MIC INPUT – Connect a

microphone to this input with

an XLR cable.

2. GUITAR / LINE INPUT –

Connect a line-level device or

guitar to this input with a 1/4"

cable.

3. INSERT – The insert jack

allows you to insert a

compressor, EQ, or any other

signal processor in between

the iO4's preamplifier and A/D

converter.

4. GAIN – Adjusts the channel

audio gain level.

5. MIC/LINE/GUITAR 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.

6. USB LED – Lights up when a USB connection has

been established with your computer.

7. MIDI IN LED – Flashes whenever MIDI data is

received from an external MIDI device.

8. MIDI OUT LED – Flashes whenever MIDI data is

sent out of the iO4.

9. POWER LED – Lights up when unit is powered on.

10. MONO / STEREO – Adjusts the headphone mix and main mix for mono or stereo operation.

11. MONITOR MIX – Blend in any amount of zero-latency signal from your inputs with the output of your

computer.

12. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH – Individual toggle switches activate and deactivate phantom power for

channels 1+2 and channels 3+4. When activated, phantom power supplies +48V to the 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.

13. PHANTOM POWER LED – Lights up when phantom power is engaged.

14. MAIN VOLUME – Adjusts the signal volume going to the MAIN OUTPUTS.

15. CHANNEL 1/2 VOLUME METER – Displays the signal level for input channels 1 and 2.

16. CHANNEL 3/4 VOLUME METER – Displays the signal level for input channels 3 and 4.

17. HEADPHONE VOLUME – Adjusts the volume level of the headphone output.

18. HEADPHONE MONITOR MIX – Adjust this switch to monitor the USB OUTPUT (channels 1 and 2),

USB OUTPUT (channels 3 and 4), or the direct mix of 4 input channels: channels 1 and 3 in the left

headphone output and channels 2 and 4 in the right headphone output and the USB output.

NOTE: Do not use the MIC INPUT and

GUITAR/LINE INPUT at the same time on

one channel. This may overload the

channel and cause distortion.

Be sure your audio software progr

m is

set up to receive audio from the iO4.

This can usually be done in your

software's "Preferences" or "Device

Setup." Please consult your software

manual for more information.

For recording of more than two

channels of audio (or if you experience

too much latency after adjusting your

software latency settings), we

recommend the free ASIO4ALL (Audio

Stream Input/Output) driver for PC at

www.asio4all.com. ASIO drivers

generally perform better and with lower

latency since they create a more

efficient communication between audio

devices and software.

DIAGRAMA DE CONEXIÓN

Notas:

yCuando grabe una guitarra o bajo con un captador activo, ajuste el interruptor MIC/LINE / GUITAR del

iO4 a "MIC/LINE". Si su instrumento utiliza un captor pasivo, ajuste el conmutador a "GUITAR".

yEnchufe el iO4 directamente a su computadora y evite usar un concentrador (hub) USB. Los

concentradores pueden interferir con las señales de sincronización de audio y MIDI del iO4

yPara reducir el zumbido eléctrico cuando se usan ajustes altos de ganancia, mantenga la fuente de

alimentación del iO4 alejada del cable de su guitarra y de las entradas de los canales del equipo.

Antes de encender el iO4, haga lo siguiente:

1. Asegúrese de que todas las conexiones de cables hayan sido realizadas correctamente

2. Asegúrese de que los controles de volumen de su amplificador o altavoces se ajustaron al mínimo

3. Inserte el conector de alimentación en la entrada [POWER] del panel trasero del iO4 y enchufe el

adaptador de alimentación a un tomacorriente de CA.

4. Luego, encienda el iO4.
