I enabled headphone 
monitoring, but I hear 
only sounds from the 
room or no sound at all. 
Your headphones may 
have a built-in 
microphone. 
Don't use headphones with a built-in microphone, 
like headphones used for phone conversations or 
the headphones typically included with an iOS 
device or other Apple products. Doing so will 
prevent your iOS device from recording your 
intended sound source (from your ION product). 
I'm experiencing poor 
sound quality. 
Turntables: Cartridge 
connection is not 
secure. 
Make sure the cartridge is securely connected to 
the tonearm. 
Turntables: Vinyl 
record is dirty or 
scratched. 
Dust off and gently wipe the surface of the record 
before playing it. 
To ensure the best possible sound quality, we 
recommend using ION's Vinyl Alive cleaning kit to 
clean your records before recording. Visit 
www.ionaudio.com/vinylalive to purchase it.
Turntables: Stylus may 
be worn. 
If your stylus is over a year old or has been used 
extensively, it may be broken or worn. Contact 
the ION Audio parts department to purchase 
another stylus. 
Tape players: Tape 
heads may be dirty or 
magnetized. 
Use a standard tape cleaning or demagnetizing 
kit to clean or demagnetize the tape heads. 
I can't hear anything 
when I play music in the 
app's built-in music 
player.
The volume slider is too 
low.
Increase the volume by sliding the volume slider 
to a higher setting, or use your iOS device's 
hardware volume up/down buttons.
The dock on your iOS 
device is still connected 
to something (computer, 
sound source, etc.) 
Disconnect anything connected to your iOS 
device's dock then close and re-open the app.
