The startup procedure is about 10-15 seconds. After
this, the Iridium is ready to play.

The overall volume of the Iridium can be controlled
with the
Master Volume
dial. This also affects the
Headphones
output.

If you do not choose to connect a mixing console,
you can patch the Iridium’s output signals directly to
an amplifier or an audio interface. Use an input usu-
ally called Line, Aux or Tape input.
r
The Iridium’s audio outputs deliver unbalanced line
levels. When connecting to an amplifier, a mixing
console or an audio interface with automatic balan-
ced/unbalanced sensing inputs, please make sure to
use TS mono jack cables and not TRS stereo jack
cables.
s
Before connecting and disconnecting the Iridium to a
power supply source, turn your amp’s volume con-
trol all the way down to avoid damage due to on/off
switching noise. Iridium produces a high level output
signal. Please take care that the connected playback
device is suitable for the high level of an electronic
instrument. Never use the microphone or phono in-
put of the connected amp!
