English Installation and setup For iOS users: when working with iOS devices and +48V phantom power is required, iRig Stream Pro needs to be powered with two AA batteries. See specifications about battery life. Insert the included AA batteries in the battery compartment on the bottom side of iRig Stream Pro. If you want to stream for a long time, you can connect the DC In port on iRig Stream Pro to the optional PSU (iRig PSU 3A).
English 1. Connect the iRig Stream Pro to the host device with the provided cable (Lightning, USB-A and USB-C). 1 1 2 2 2. Download and launch the app. Note that iRig Recorder App will accept only 2 channel inputs: channel 1 and 2. So, if you wish to record channels 3 and 4 (multichannel mode enalbled, please refer to dedicated section on this manual) a different App that support multichannel audio is needed. iRig Recorder LE ikdownloads.
English 3. In order to monitor the incoming audio with apps and software that do not allow for audio input monitoring, a direct monitoring switch is present.

The headset’s microphone gain can be controlled with the “Headset Mic” thumbwheel.
English Connecting line level signal to the RCA inputs It is possible to connect any line level source to the RCA inputs. This signal can come from an mp3 player, a computer or an audio mixer. The main Level knob adjusts the overall volume that is recorded. To adjust the volume of the device connected to the RCA inputs, use both the volume controls of the device and the numbered thumbwheel “RCA” on the side of iRig Stream Pro.
