IA1200
Input / Output Connections
Connecting the Signal Source to the IA1200 (DVD/MIXER/MP3 etc.)
The IA1200 has two input jacks on the rear of the unit which is designed to receive the signal directly
from your DVD, mixer or any of your other 2 Channel signal sources. To ensure that you have correctly
connected your DVD player (other sound sources) to the unit, make sure that the DVD player has a
RCA cord coming from it's output and that this cord is plugging into the RCA Input on the rear of the
IA1200. Ensure that the polarity of your signal is always maintained by using color coordinated RCA
cables.
NOTE: BE SURE NOT TO CONNECT AN AMPLIFIER OR ANY AMPLIFIED SIGNAL INTO THE RCA
INPUT JACK. AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE IA1200. NO OTHER AMPLIFIER IS NEEDED TO
POWER YOUR SIGNAL IN ADDITION TO THE IA1200. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS
ONLY ONE AMPLIFIER IN THE SIGNAL PATH.
Connecting a USB Flash Drive / SD Card to the IA1200
There are also SD Card and USB flash drive inputs on the front panel of the IA1200. The maximum
size of the SD Card or USB flash drive is 32GB. If your memory card exceeds 32GB, the unit will not
be able to read the files from the memory cards. You will only be able to play .mp3, .wav, .wma files
directly from these memory cards once they are inserted into the front panel of the unit. Press the
play/pause button on the front panel of the unit to begin playing files from your USB /SD Card, press
this button again to pause. Press the NEXT button to move to the next track on either the USB or SD
Card. Press the PREVIOUS button to move to the previous track on either the USB or SD Card.
NOTE: THE USB INPUT WILL ONLY CONNECT TO A USB FLASH DRIVE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CONNECT THE USB INPUT DIRECTLY TO A COMPUTER AS THE IA1200 WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO PLAY FILES DIRECTLY FROM A COMPUTER VIA THE USB INPUT. BE SURE NOT TO
HOOK-UP AN AMPLIFIER OR ANY AMPLIFIED SIGNAL INTO THE RCA INPUT JACK AS THIS
COULD DAMAGE THE IA1200. NO OTHER AMPLIFIER IS NEEDED TO POWER YOUR SIGNAL
IN ADDITION TO THE IA1200. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE AMPLIFIER IN
THE SIGNAL PATH.
There are also input jacks for a MP3 player,USB flash drive and SD card on the front panel of the
IA1200. Just plug the MP3 player, USB flash drive or SD card into their respective input jacks and set
the IA1200 to the corresponding input. Be sure that the volume of your MP3 player and IA1200 are
turned down at first and then slowly raise the volume to prevent damaging the speakers or any of your
other equipment.
Connecting Microphones to IA1200
There are two ¼" inputs on the face of the unit which you can plug microphones or line level devices
directly into. To use, simply plug the microphones into the ¼" inputs while the speaker and
microphones are in the OFF position. Once plugged in, power on the unit and microphones. Once
turned on, simply turn up the Microphone Volume (7) to the desired levels.
Connecting the IA1200 to Passive Loudspeakers
The IA1200 is designed to power up to two full-range passive loudspeakers.The speakers should be
connected via the speaker wire outputs on the rear of the IA1200.
NOTE: WHEN MAKING THESE CONNECTIONS THE POWER OF THE IA1200 AND THE SIGNAL
SOURCE SHOULD ALL BE IN THE OFF POSITION WITH THE VOLUME LEVELS TURNED DOWN.
ONCE THE UNITS ARE ALL POWERED ON, SLOWLY INCREASE THE VOLUME TO AVOID
DAMAGING ANY OF YOUR EQUIPMENT. THE IA1200 OPERATED MOST EFFICIENTLY WHEN
USED WITH 8 OHM SPEAKERS.
