iPad Tray and Tray Inserts

The largest area on the mixer is the iPad tray with the dock to its left. The iPad tray is a part of the DL Series
mixer and cannot be removed. The iPad slides into the tray and mates with the dock connector on the mixer.
One of the really cool things about these mixers is that it seamlessly transitions from wired to wireless
operation. Therefore, the tray is highly-durable to withstand repetitive insertion and removal of an iPad.
It does this by using a tray and insert design.
It needs to not only accommodate the current iPad designs, but also be ready for future variations.
Tray inserts are added to fit the iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation), iPad (4th generation), iPad mini and
iPad Air. The amazing fit is achieved by utilizing two center rails and curved supports on the sides.
There are also two guides above the iPad creating the perfect alignment needed for docking.
The result is that all current iPad versions are supported. Additionally, it is ready for any new iPad design
with just the addition of a new tray insert. Having said that, we can't predict the future; if we could
we would all be retired zillionaires, traveling the world over. We do our best to plan for all possiblities,
but there are no guarantees.
DL Series mixers come equipped with a standard iPad tray insert already installed and screwed down.
The following is a list of all current iPad models and what insert (if any) is needed to dock it:
iPad 2, iPad (3rd generation), iPad (4th generation) – standard tray insert (included with mixer).
iPad mini – iPad mini tray insert (sold separately). The included iPad tray insert needs to removed
and replaced with an iPad mini tray insert. [See directions on the next page].
iPad Air – iPad Air tray insert (sold separately). The included iPad tray insert needs to removed
and replaced with an iPad Air tray insert. [See directions on page 9].
The tray insert is not necessarily dependent on what type of connector the iPad has.
In other words, while an iPad 2 and iPad (3rd generation) [both 30-pin connectors]
and iPad (4th generation) [Lightning connector] have different connectors, all three
models require the included standard tray insert. Having said that, all iPad minis
and iPad Airs have a Lightning connector and require that the included tray insert
be removed and replaced with a tray insert for that model.
