The iRig HD X is a universal guitar interface designed for use with iOS devices, Mac, and PC. It is a new member of the iRig guitar interface family, featuring a redesigned enclosure and several important new functionalities.
The primary function of the iRig HD X is to act as an audio interface for connecting an instrument, such as a guitar or bass, to a host device. It allows users to input their instrument's signal, process it through software on their device, and output the processed or direct signal.
The interface operates in two main modes, determined by the "Loopback+" feature:
The iRig HD X is controlled primarily through a single Multi-function knob and LED ring. This knob allows users to manage various features of the interface, indicated by four blue Function LEDs that show the currently controlled function:
Headphone Volume Control:
FX/THRU Control:
Direct Monitoring Control:
Loopback+ Mode Control:
Tuner Mode:
The iRig HD X features a high headroom input, eliminating the need for a dedicated gain control. The input gain is pre-set to accommodate all types of pickups (active or passive), allowing for immediate plug-and-play use.
The device is designed for ease of use with minimal user maintenance beyond ensuring proper connections and software settings. Regular software updates for the host device and audio applications are recommended for optimal performance.
