6. APPLICATION

6.1 Using the DI-DOCK LIVE to connect iPod(tm) to a PA system
Make sure the DI-DOCK LIVE is powered either via the 12v DC connector or
Phantom power from a mixing console or other devices which can supply
power to the DI-DOCK LIVE. Switch ON your iPod(tm) and then insert it into the
DI-DOCK LIVE connector. Make sure it is firmly inserted. Select the song you
want played and then adjust the output volume to the headphone or MASTER,
the output volumes are not related so you can have a different volume going to
the MASTER XLR outputs then the Headphone output. You can also select
which audio channels you want to send to the output by selecting the L (left)
R(right) or C(both channels) to the XLR outputs.

For Example: You have a Click Track on one channel and Music on the other
Channel, you don’t want to send the Clcik track to the front of house mixer so
just select the Music tracks channels to be sent to the XLR connectors.

Make sure you run your device (Mp3 or iPod(tm)) at around %60 of the normal
volume as this is where your player will have the best signal to noise ration,
many Mp3 players exhibit much higher noise at higher levels, use the DI-DOCK
LIVE to adjust the output level accordingly.

6.2 Selecting what is played in the headphones
The DI-DOCK LIVE has the unique ability of mixing between the LEFT and
RIGHT channels to the headphones. In this way you are able to select how
much CLICK track or how much MUSIC track you want to monitor in the
headphone while they both appear on both sides together (not a hard pan
LEFT and RIGHT). You can also MIX IN to the headphone the AUX inputs and
select the level of the AUX input you want. None of these functions affect the
XLR outputs.

6.3 Using the DI-DOCK LIVE to connect other LINE LEVEL devices
The only difference here is that you would connect the device you have to the
LINE INPUT connector on the front of the DI-DOCK LIVE, you can use the DI-
DOCK LIVE as a great KB, Mp3, CD or any other device requiring it’s abilities.

6.4 1/8” (3.5mm) remote input socket
In future we will release several remote control units for the DI-DOCK LIVE
including foot controls and MIDI controls.
