iRig PRO status LEDs
The two LEDs on iRig PRO (1,2) give you important
information about the unit's operative status. Each status is
indicated by a different color.
Power / Audio Level LED (2):
• Off: iRig PRO is not connected to any power source.
• Dark blue: iRig PRO is connected and in standby mode.
• Bright blue: iRig PRO is connected and active.
• Green: iRig PRO is active and the input signal is low.
• Orange: iRig PRO is active and the input signal is OK.
• Red: iRig PRO is active and the input signal is too high.
Phantom / MIDI LED (1):
• Off: phantom power is off and iRig PRO is not receiving any
MIDI message.
• Red: phantom power is on. When the 9V battery is getting
low, the red LED blinks to indicate that the battery should be
replaced as soon as possible.
• Blue: iRig PRO is receiving MIDI messages.

Connecting Microphones

Always connect microphones to iRig PRO by using XLR-to-
XLR balanced cables. This will ensure a pristine and clean
performance from your microphone with iRig PRO.
Dynamic microphones: before connecting dynamic
microphones make sure phantom power is turned off.
Check the Phantom Power switch (7) is on the OFF position
and the Phantom / MIDI LED (1) is not red.
Condenser microphones: most condenser microphones
require external phantom power. If phantom power is ON,
switch it OFF, and then connect your microphone. Turn
phantom power on only after the microphone is connected.
Once it's turned on, check for the Phantom / MIDI LED (1)
to become RED. If the LED doesn't turn RED, check that
a working 9V battery is inserted in the iRig PRO's battery
compartment on the bottom side, and that an application that
is using iRig PRO is open. Phantom power will NOT turn on
if iRig PRO is in Standby.
Ribbon microphones: before connecting a ribbon
microphone, turn off phantom power (7) and check the
microphone's operating instruction manual to see if it
requires it. Most ribbon microphones don't require phantom
power, and some can even be damaged by it. If you're in
doubt just leave it off. If the microphone won't work, check its
user manual, it may need phantom power.
Connecting Instruments
Connect your guitar, bass or any other mono instrument
to the instrument input (4) on iRig PRO using an ¼" plug
unbalanced (TS or "mono") guitar cord.
