The Alesis iO Dock Pro Audio Dock for iPad is a universal
docking station specifically designed for iPad. It gives musicians,
recording engineers and music producers the interface they need to
create and perform with iPad. The iO Dock facilitates recording,
performing and creating music at home, in mobile situations and
virtually anywhere in between. Built to accommodate all current
app-development standards including Core MIDI, the iO Dock is a
universal device that supports music-creation apps, instruments, mics
and devices. It even has phantom power, a high-impedance guitar switch
and a 1/4" footswitch input.
FLEXIBLE FUNCTIONALITY
Songwriters, music producers and
performers of all kinds will find that the iO Dock connects the iPad’s
powerful processor, touch-screen interface and extensive library of apps
to their collection of microphones, instruments, professional speaker
and PA systems, MIDI controllers, sound modules, video projectors and
much more.
With the iO Dock and an iPad, musicians and producers
can record, perform, craft and create music in virtually any situation
or location. Built to accommodate all current app-development standards
including Core MIDI, the iO Dock is a universal device that bridges your
choice of music-creation apps, instruments, and devices.
COMPLETE CONNECTIVITY
The iO Dock provides microphone and instrument users with two
combination XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, each with its own gain control and
switchable phantom power for condenser microphones. Guitarists and
bassists will appreciate the iO Dock’s guitar-direct switch, enabling
them to play, perform and record right into amplifier- and
effects-modeling apps. Bands can connect outputs from their mixer and
easily record their performances and rehearsals or use the iO Dock as a
metronome or loop-playback device. Producers can use the iO Dock’s MIDI
jacks to sequence external keyboards, samplers, drum machines and
synthesizers, or perform using the iO Dock as the sound module and their
favorite MIDI-compliant keyboard, drum pad or other controller. An
assignable 1/4-inch footswitch input enables remote control of any
app-defined function such as stop/start or record. Users can also
connect the iO Dock to their Mac or PC using the USB port to send MIDI
back and forth for creative, new applications of the iPad and computer
used in tandem.
Users can connect the iO Dock’s stereo pair of
1/4-inch main outputs to studio monitors for critical listening, or to
PA systems for use in performance settings. They can monitor on
headphones, and independently control the levels of the two outputs,
each on its own knob. Recording musicians will appreciate the iO Dock’s
direct-monitor switch, which enables them to toggle between the incoming
and playback signal on their headphones. Rounding out the iO Dock’s
output section is a composite video connector, enabling users to employ
the iO Dock as a source for video projection behind bands on stage, or
for connection to most televisions and computer monitors.
RUGGED RELIABILITY
The
iO Dock was built for the real world. Whether you're keeping it in the
safety of the studio or taking it out for recording or performance use
in the club or on tour, the iO Dock will not only deliver the
connectivity you need for audio applications, but it also serves as a
rugged, protective case for the iPad. The iO Dock completely houses the
iPad on the bottom and three side surfaces. It also encases the iPad's
screen in a protective bezel on three of its four edges, further
shielding the mobile computing device from the potential for damage in
punishing environments.
The applications of the iPad for music
creation, production, and performance are limited only by your
creativity. As an imaginative, cutting-edge music maker, the iO Dock
empowers you to seamlessly connect the world of pro audio gear and
instruments to the iPad and the massive collection of apps.
