1. INTRODUCTION
With the increased number of users preferring to use items such as MP3
players and IPOD’s the need for a robust solution to play audio files back from
these devices has led us to develop the DI DOCK LIVE.
Many similar devices exhibited increased noise when connected to larger PA
systems, with only a 3.5mm (1/8”) jack to connect them, malfunctions were
easily caused during use.
The solution was to create a Docking station DI which has Transformer Isolated
outputs, Active circuitry and be able to be operated from +48V Phantom Power.
For monitoring a headphone amp has been included as well. A ‘MUST’ tool for
hire companies or musicians who use these devices.
2. THE DESIGN CONCEPT
2.1 High quality components and design
The philosophy behind SM Pro Audio products guarantees a no-compromise
circuit design and employs the best choice of components.
2.2 Inputs and outputs
All inputs and outputs are secured firmly to the exterior chassis housing. This
ensures robust quality and confidence in performance under all conditions.
Now you can easily mix external signals with your iPod* audio stream. Bring in
a click track for live performance; blend in the feed from your monitor system;
combine the output of your mixer with your MP3 backing tracks.
Front-panel controls let you quickly create independent master and
monitor/headphone mixes. Is the drummer playing to a click track? The
audience will never know!
Also features balanced transformer-isolated XLR outputs, Left/Center/Right
output select switch, a “charger” mode for making sure your iPod* is always
ready to roll, and a remote control input for operating the iPod*.
