The Focusrite iTrack Dock Professional Recording for iPad is designed for studio recording directly to a lightning connector iPad (4th generation, Air) or iPad mini (with or without retina display). The dock features two Focusrite Scarlett series preamplifiers with switchable +48V of phantom power for powering condenser microphones. The unit can record two simultaneous channels of audio at up to 24-bit 96 kHz resolution with a dynamic range of 105 dB.
For I/O, input one of the dock features a balanced XLR input for connecting to a microphone, a 1/4" instrument DI input for connecting to a source such as a guitar, and a 1/4" balanced line input for connecting to line level sources such as a synthesizer, drum machine, or CD player. Input two features a balanced XLR input for connecting to a microphone and a 1/4" balanced line input.
For outputs, the dock features two balanced 1/4" outputs for connecting to headphones or powered studio monitors. A USB type A port allows you to connect a MIDI controller and a Kensington port allows you to secure the device with a Kensington lock.
The front panel features separate gain control knobs for inputs 1 and 2 with gain level LED ring halos, a headphone output knob, a monitor output knob, and a direct monitor button for latency-free monitoring. The dock comes with "Tape," Focusrite's iPad application for recording, mastering, and sharing music. The unit is also plug-and-play compatible with CORE audio iPad apps such as Garageband, Auria, and Cubasis.

The FocusriteiTrack Dock Studio Pack provides you with the tools to make professional iPad recordings. Included is an iPad audio interface with two microphone pre-amplifiers, a large diaphragm CM25 condenser microphone with stand clip, HP60 closed-back headphones, a 9.8' XLR cable, and a USB cable.
To start recording on iPad with quality 24-bit audio and sample rates of up to 96kHz, dock your iPad, connect the microphone and headphones, plug your instruments in, and hit record. The halos around the gain knobs turn from green to red if you get too loud, while the high headroom instrument input helps you get a clean recording. The large diaphragm condenser microphone is ideal for recording vocals and comes with an XLR lead and stand clip, so you can set up straight away. The professional closed-back headphones are designed to block out any distracting outside noise while you record and mix performances.
Precision converters transform your live performance into studio-quality 24-bit resolution digital audio, with sample rates of up to 96kHz and a dynamic range of over 105 dB
