That Focusrite Sound
iTrack Dock, like other acclaimed Focusrite interfaces, couples superb analogue audio circuitry with the highest precision digital conversion expertise, to deliver the best of all possible worlds for today’s iPad-based hit-makers, in both personal studios and world-class facilities across the globe.
Did you know that… The legendary Focusrite sound embodied in all of Focusrite’s products goes all the way back to 1985, when Rupert Neve was commissioned to build “no compromise” modules for the consoles in Air Studios? Since then, countless hit records have been tracked and mixed through Focusrite gear, which to this day follows the same design philosophy:
Sound is everything.
Simple, Sleek Setup
Getting started is easy. Whichever Lightning iPad you have, just slide the connector on the iTrack Dock up or down to match the position of your iPad’s socket and plug in. The iPad sits perfectly in the iTrack Dock, at just the right angle, in line with and alongside the Dock’s raked control surface.
Hooking up your gear is easy too. Simply plug in your microphones and guitars via XLR and Jack cables, while line inputs and monitor outputs to your speakers are carried over TRS cables. A standard USB cable connects your MIDI controller to the iTrack Dock, giving you instant “hands on” control of any assignable MIDI parameters.
Comprehensive Control
at your Fingertips
iTrack Dock has all the right controls in all the right places. Real knobs handle main monitor level, headphone output level and the input level controls, which also feature Focusrite’s signature Scarlett-derived “gain halo” technology for visual metering of signal levels. iTrack Dock also features a USB port for connection of a MIDI controller – such as the Novation Launchkey or Launchkey Mini – for full assignable MIDI control of your favourite iPad apps.
