Sonoma Wire Works, makers of the
FourTrack iOS app, has released the
GuitarJack audio accessory for
compatible iOS devices, as announced at the Summer NAMM show. Here's their press release with all the details...
GuitarJack connects a wide range of
instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to the iPod
touch® (2nd and 3rd generation), iPhone® 3GS* and iPhone 3G* via
1/4 inch instrument and 1/8 inch stereo mic/line inputs. GuitarJack
Model 1 is not compatible with iPhone 4, iPad™ or iPod touch 4th
generation. Addressing the most frequent request from musicians who
use FourTrack, GuitarJack makes both level control and input
monitoring possible when using a GuitarJack enhanced app. FourTrack
has been updated to include a GuitarJack control panel, where users
can select an input and set the recording level. FourTrack 4.0
includes the new TaylorEQ Song Tool, which allows Taylor Guitar
players to hear and adjust the tone of their guitars playing through
the GuitarJack using EQ settings custom designed by Taylor Guitars. A
free TaylorEQ app with similar features, including a GuitarJack
control panel, is coming soon. GuitarJack works well with most third
party audio apps like tuners, amp models and other recording apps.
GuitarJack Features:
- 1/4 inch instrument input with configurable pad, Lo-Z and Hi-Z
modes
- 1/8 inch stereo mic/line input with pad, normal and boost modes
- Each input has 60dB of continuous level control
- 1/8 inch stereo output with increased drive for headphones
- Sleek and rugged metal shell
- Dock connector compatible only with iPod touch (2nd and 3rd
generation), iPhone 3GS* and iPhone 3G*
GuitarJack Controls in FourTrack Allow Recording in these Modes:
- Instrument (1/4 inch) mono
- Mic/Line (1/8 inch) mono, dual-mono or stereo
- Both inputs, with the instrument input and the mic/line input
(right channel) recording to separate tracks
*iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G are compatible only in airplane mode, so
they will display the following message: "This accessory is not
optimized for this iPhone. You may experience noise caused by
cellular interferance and a descrease in cellular signal strength."
Sonoma Wire Works recommends that you turn on airplane mode whenever
recording on an iPhone.
