Connecting an iPad, iPod, Tablet, Computer to a T8S ToneMatch® mixer


Analog Connections

Aux Inputs

Connect to the Aux Inputs to leave the combo jack inputs available. The Aux inputs are routed directly to the Main outputs. You can set Pan and Level using the Rotary Selector PAN/AUX settings

Combo Inputs

If you need to use Presets, Effects, or the physical volume controls, connect to the last two channels that have combo inputs.

Stereo to Left/Right Adapter

Plug this into your source device: an iPad, iPod, Tablet, Computer (headphone or line out jack). Connect:

  • 1/8 inch (3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve jack on the source device and
  • Colored ends to the T8S

iPad or iPod

If your Apple device does not have a headphone output, consider using the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter.

You can use just one input on the source device: an iPad, iPod, Tablet, Computer if you can set the source device output to mono. Typically, you can do this under Accessibility options.

Set your iPad or iPhone to Mono

Launch the Settings app on your iPad or iPhone.

  1. Tap General.
  2. Tap Accessibility.
  3. In the Hearing section, turn Mono Audio On

Then use a cable like this but connect only one end (red or grey) to one of the combo jacks on the ToneMatch mixer. This will give you both sides of the stereo track (combined to mono).
