Ease of Use
The iKEY makes it easier to transfer audio to digital
media by skipping over the need to work with
confusing computer programs and additional hardware.
The process is simple: 1. Connect any device capable of
audio output directly to the iKEY’s
RCA Inputs. 2. Connect a USB compatible flash
drive, hard drive, or MP3 Player
(including iPod®) to the iKEYs USB port. 3. Use the SEL button to select
whether the audio feed will be converted to MP3 or WAV. If you choose
MP3, select your desired bit rate. 4. Begin recording by pressing the
REC button. 5. Press REC to complete recording.
If you’re recording to an MP3
Player, your file will be available under the songs list for playback.
If you’re recording to an
external storage device, connect the device to a computer for editing or
playback. Never before has
transferring live audio to MP3 or WAV been so easy! With functionality
also comes portability – the iKEY
only requires four AA batteries, giving you up to 4 hours of recording
time or use theprovided power
supply. Here are the more common applications that the

• Record live DJ mixes or Karaoke performances
• Sample DVD or CD audio

Main Features
The REC button starts and stops the recording process.
With each consecutive press of the REC button, the iKEY creates a brand
new file to keep recordings organized.
The SEL
button selects the format and quality of the file that will be output by
the iKEY – choose from MP3 bitrates of 128kbps, 192kbps, 256kbps, or
select WAV for uncompressed, CD quality audio.
The
Level Clip LED indicator alerts the user, visually, when the input
signal is too high, too low, and stays unlit when the signal is within
the appropriate range for recording.
With the
iKEY’s USB 2.0 compatible data port, you can easily connect any
driverless USB mass storage device, including the Apple iPod®, USB flash
memory, or USB external hard drives.
The RCA
inputs accept any line level audio source, and a Y-cable is included
This
dual-function LED lights up solid when there is a transfer error. The
Low Battery indicator illuminates to warn you when there is not enough
power to continue recording.
If you
want to record your audio using a lossless audio format, simply select
WAV and begin recording. Warning: WAV files
can be very large – expect approximately 10 megabytes of output per
minute of audio.
The DC
input allows you to power the unit or to charge rechargeable batteries
inside of the iKEY’s battery compartment. Alternatively, the iKEY
can be powered using 4 ‘AA’ size batteries.
The 5-bar progress LED indicator allows you to see, at a
glance, the amount of space occupied on your USB storage device. For
example you would have 100% space beacuse all lights are lit.
To record your audio to MP3 format, select from the
available bit rates
which range from the standard 128 kbps to the nearly CD-quality 256
kbps.
