Stereo Gain Booster

Operating Instructions v1.0

Description

The iBoost is an easy to use stereo gain booster for use

with tablets, smartphones, MP3 players and computer

sound cards. Many music players have a low stereo signal

output (so hearing loss with earbud use is minimised) and

to use the headphone output with external amplifiers and

speakers requires a signal boost. The iBoost is simple to

use, can be powered by the included power supply or

directly from a car 12 volt system. It is intuitive and

simple to use. It features a gain control switch to boost

the stereo signal either 10 dB or 20 dB. Output

connection is by 3.5 mm stereo jack or RCA jacks. iBoost

does not adjust bass or treble.

 Intuitive and easy to use.

 Adjustable boost: 10 dB or 20 dB.

 Full 20-20 kHz response.

 Gold RCA output jacks.

 3.5 mm stereo input and output.

 12 VDC wall power adaptor included.

Connection

iBoost is a preamp level device and cannot power speakers

directly. It needs to be connected to an amplifier that can drive

speakers.

1. Connect your stereo source (iPod, iPad, smartphone,

MP3 player, laptop etc.) to the iBoost jack labelled

“INPUT”.

2. Connect the iBoost output (either with the 3.5mm stereo

jack or the gold RCA jacks) to the boom box, car stereo,

amplifier and speakers. If you have a choice, always use

cords with the shortest possible lead lengths.

3. Connect the power supply using the included wall mount

adaptor. When connecting to a car or boat power

source, use an 12 VDC adaptor with a 2.1mm plug with

the center positive.

Operation

With the iBoost connected and powered up, make sure your

stereo source is turned on and playing and the amp you are

sending the signal to is also turned on. It may need to have the

correct source selected and volume turned up.

With the music playing try selecting the adjustable gain switch

on the iBoost. Select the lower gain first (button in) and try

adjusting the source volume (mid to high) and the amplifier

volume to low to mid positions. If the sound level is good,

enjoy!

If the volume is too low try turning the amplifier volume up but

not to maximum. If the volume is now good you are done.

It the volume is still too low, lower the amplifier volume press

the iBoost gain switch (button out) and turn up the amplifier

volume to a comfortable level.

If the volume is still too low turn the source volume up to

maximum.
