For the purposes of a sound check, you can substitute an iOS device using the Lightning-to- iConnectivity cable, and then skip to “Using the Interactive Display” a few paragraphs down (there is no software to configure). But it’s important to install the iConfig software on a computer (step 2 just below). - Page 8 3. Turn the rotary Knob clockwise to increase the level and counterclockwise to decrease it. Using the Audio Mixer: 1. Launch iConfig. If you have other iConnectivity interfaces connected, select the iConnectAUDIO4 in the Device Selection dialog. 2. Select the Audio Mixer tab. Mix A, the first of the available mixes in the Sub Mix/Bussing section, should be selected.
- Page 9 3. Bring up the Analog Outputs 1 & 2 fader (they’re linked for stereo). You should now see three sets of stereo meters moving in the Audio Mixer. If you select Analog Outs 1&2 in Signal Level mode in the Interactive Display, the LED meters on the hardware will match the onscreen ones.
- Page 10 If both computer devices are iOS so there’s no iConfig software with an Audio Mixer, use the apps’ level controls to balance their relative levels. Otherwise, the second computer device appears in the Audio Mixer channel strip to the right of the first one; iConfig is already set up.
- Page 11 - To enable phantom power for Analog Inputs 1&2 in Interactive Display, simply touch the 48V touch zone on the bottom row, then 1 and 2 on the top row. - To adjust the gain levels for Analog Inputs 1&2 on the Interactive Display, touch In on the bottom row, and 1 and/or 2 on the top row (depending on whether they’re independent sources or a stereo pair).

Page 12: Important Notes
IMPORTANT NOTES • No additional drivers are required for Mac or iOS, Windows driver available here. Set- up instructions here. • No Mac or iOS drivers needed. The iConnectAUDIO4 is USB class-compliant, so it’s recognized automatically by Mac OS X and iOS for applications to pass audio and MIDI as soon as you connect it to either of the unit’s two Device ports. -

The iConnectAUDIO4+ hardware Front Panel 1 & 2 Analog In Jacks 1& 2 XLR - ¼" Combo unbalanced mic/line/instrument inputs. Connect Hi-Z instrument inputs (electric guitars, basses, etc.) with ¼" plugs; they go through a -20dB pad, with a gain range of -20dB to +40dB in 1dB increments. Connect microphones with XLR plugs. -

Note: this jack is dedicated to USB MIDI – it’s not a standard USB jack. USB 1 Device Jack Use the included iConnectivity USB-B to USB-A cable to connect the interface to a Mac or PC computer, or the included iConnectivity USB-B-to-Lightning cable to connect an iOS device. - Page 19 12, 13, 14, 15 Analog Out Jacks 1 – 4 ¼" balanced TRS outputs. The output is 13dBu/11dBV, a very high level, so please use caution to avoid overloading subsequent equipment in the signal path. Normally Analog Outs 1 & 2 would be connected to a stereo amp and speakers (or powered monitors).

(the “Restore from FLASH” command). iConfig works the same on Mac and Windows. Launching iConfig When you have multiple iConnectivity interfaces connected to your computer, the Device Selection dialog will appear; simply select the one to be configured. If you have only the iConnectAUDIO4 , it will be selected automatically in the dialog without intervention. -

Page 23: Audio Patchbay
Audio Patchbay This is a routing matrix with source audio busses across the horizontal axis and destination busses on the vertical axis. Think of it as “from” (audio sources into the patchbay) and “to” (destinations). Available Sources and Destinations: USB1 and USB2 (digital Audio Channels from the two Device Jacks);... - Page 24 Click on the appropriate spot on the matrix to make or sever a routing connection. Click on any bus’ name in the Source or Destination areas to condense its view (in this case “Analog Mixer” is condensed, while the Analog outputs above it aren’t): USB mixer Destination Busses –...

Audio Mixer Audio Mixer overview: The Analog Inputs and Analog Outputs sections – on the darker grey background – are master faders for the iConnectAUDIO4 ’s Analog Ins, Analog Outs, and Headphones. While the Analog Inputs are “hardwired” directly to their faders, the Source for each Analog Output channel is selectable from a drop-down menu. - Page 26 - To select a Source or Destination, click on the underlined white text to get a pop-up checklist: - Double-click most faders and the BAL (Balance) knobs to set them to 0. - The rest of the controls are as follows: v.1.0...

Page 30: Midi Info
MIDI Info MIDI Information: Summary MIDI information about the iConnectAUDIO4 ’s physical ports, as well as the 29 total 16-channel MIDI Ports available for routing. Maximum Ports on multi-port USB Devices (default: 4): Multi-port USB MIDI devices have more than one 16-channel Port. For example, some controllers may have an additional MIDI In or Out Port available, and modern DAWs can usually access any number of them. - Page 31 MIDI message - the status byte that identifies what it is (for example a note) – remains the same until further notice. Running status must be implemented correctly by the receiving device to work; we recommend enabling it only if you can confirm that this is the case.

Page 32: Midi Port Routing
MIDI Port Routing There is a total of 29 16-channel MIDI Ports available to be routed between the iConnectAUDIO4 ’s physical connections. This routing matrix enables this feature By default, every possible MIDI Port is routed from every device to every other device; if a device supports multiple Ports, they’re all accessible to it (for example, a modern DAW should be able to access every Port as soon as the interface is connected). -
Page 33: Midi Channel Remap
MIDI Channel Remap For each MIDI port, this matrix is for remapping – changing - entire MIDI channels to different ones, or just various data types (Pitch Bend, Channel Pressure, etc.). Remap Type (top left) selects whether to modify the input going to or the output coming from each port. -
Page 34: Midi Controller Data Remap
For each MIDI port, this matrix is for filtering (removing from the datastream) any MIDI controller on any of the 16 MIDI channels. Filter Type (top left) selects whether to modify the input going to or the output coming from each port. Port is the familiar list of the16-channel MIDI ports available on the iConnectAUDIO4 the USB Device Jacks, USB Host Jack, and 5-pin DIN. -
Page 35: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting No sound from speakers or headphones connected to the interface Please check that levels are turned up in the Audio Mixer tab in the iConfig software. In addition, check that the output source you’re monitoring is routed correctly in the Audio Patchbay tab. -
