The iO Dock transforms your iPad 1, 2, or New iPad into a pro recording system! Just get your iPad in place and get ready to start making great recordings. The Alesis iO Dock offers two XLR/TRS inputs, each with gain, phantom power, and guitar-direct modes. So you can record the way you like, and you have a lot of options - record your guitar in stereo, get a stereo capture of band practice, record your guitar or bass directly... whatever you need. However you use it, the iO Dock offers full recording, performing, and playback, with virtually all audio/video apps in the App Store.

Alesis iO Dock at a Glance:
  • Pro connections for your studio gear

What Makes a Product a "Demo"?
At Sweetwater, "Demo" usually means one of the following:
  • It might have spent a little time in our display room.
  • A Sales Engineer may have put it through its paces to explain it to customers.
  • It could have been tried out for a few days.
We treat demo models exactly as we treat new gear. You get a full manufacturer's warranty, as well as Sweetwater's commitment to customer satisfaction. Other than it having been in someone's hands or hanging on a rack for a brief period of time, it's as good as new - at a great bargain!

Everything works great with iOS 6. No issues at all. I use audio in/out and MIDI and no issues.

Glitches Fixed! I Love It!

Music Background: hobbyist, experienced
I had ready many bad reviews on this product, however 99% of the complaints were related to incompatibility with Apple OS updates. These issues have all been resolved. My white IO Dock came with the i... read more [+]Pad 3 adapter, which also works with iPad 2. If you are using iPad 1, you wont need an adapter.
This product to me is a no-brainer for musicians who own an iPad. This device transforms iPad into a extremely useful music making tool. The midi in/out & midi/usb makes it possible to play app keyboard instruments on any midi keyboard controller you wish. It also has 2 audio inputs, and balanced 1/4" stereo out, making it easy to record audio or guitar. It even has phantom power. There's a pedal input, and a headphone jack. I'll likely never use it, but there's a video port as well.
Before this device I really had very little interest in mobile music apps, now I am amazed at how some sound, and how utterly useful so many of them are. I am now recording on my iPad, and recording in my computer from the iPad. This may be the best gear purchase I've made in years. close [-]

The iO Dock will transform your consumer-grade iPad into a pro-grade studio audio interface and control hub. Alesis spared no costs in making this product with the highest-quality components and features such as durable XLR-1/4" inputs, MIDI I/O, video out, balanced TRS outputs, and more. To top it off, this device will even charge your iPad when it's docked! If you own an iPad, this is a no brainer.
