1. Before continuing, check your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch to be sure you have the latest version of the iOS operating system installed.
2. In order to enjoy POD® amp and effects processing, you’ll need our free Mobile POD application, which also enables the Sonic Port hardware to receive firmware updates. (Firmware is embedded software for the microprocessor inside Sonic Port. Like software for your computer, it needs updating from time to time.)
If your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch has internet access, it will help you get the Mobile POD app when you attach Sonic Port. Otherwise, we recommend you download the app now: Search for it
by name on the App StoreSM, then “Buy” and install it.
3. Connect Sonic Port to your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch using the included 14-pin to Lightning connector cable, or the included 14-pin to 30-pin cable, depending on which kind of connector your iOS device requires. The Sonic Port has red LED located on it's top side that will blink once 3 seconds after the device is succefully recognized by your iOS device
4. Connect your guitar or other audio source to Sonic Port. Sonic Port supports one input source at a time.
- Using Guitar In (mono): Connect a standard 1/4 inch guitar cable to the Sonic Port guitar input, then plug the other end into your guitar.
- Using IN L/R: Connect a standard stereo 1/8 inch line cable to the Sonic Port IN L/R input, then plug the other end into a line level audio output of your source equipment such as a keyboard, mixer, or music player.
5. Connect a mono or stereo 1/4 inch cable to the Sonic Port OUT L/R output, then plug the other end into a playback device such as a guitar amp, mixer or powered speakers to monitor your audio. If
desired, connect a pair of headphones or earbuds to the Sonic Port 1/8 inch Headphones Output.
6. Launch the audio app of your choice, for example GarageBand® or Mobile POD. Sonic Port works as an audio input or output source for any app that uses Core Audio.
