Аудиоинтерфейс IK Multimedia iRig PowerBridge

ok, I read this pretty carefully. I actually close read documents for a living. even have a PhD in that (as a historian). I was looking for something that would get me out of battery land in using the IK Multimedia iRig PRO DUO 2 channel professional audio interface for iPhone, iPad and Mac/PC with my ipad. I have a DC adapter that works, but I thought the powerbridge would be better, seeing as the power supply was graded as audiophile quality with hum removal. The description for the powerbridge says it is a power solution for irig products (here's the quote, from up top: Allows continuous use/charging of iOS device and digital iRig accessory. Works with iRig accessories with Mini-Din and Mini-USB ports), so I thought, with some justification, that it would power the irig device, being an irig powerbridge and all. The device hooks up, but the powerbridge only powers the ipad, not the pro duo. I spent an hour or so trying to figure out why the iPad was charging but the pro duo was not lighting up. Finally went to the forums for ikmultimedia and found it does not charge the irig device, it only passes the midi and audio signal to the actually powering it.
I am giving it 2 stars because it performs the remainder of its tasks fine. If you want an audiophile ipad charger for 50 bucks, there you go. I'll keep it but I am unhappy and fell a bit tricked. You will still need lots of batteries or a DC power supply wall wart. Make sure if you go the latter route, you read the tip polarity and voltage correctly or you could damage the pro duo though.
I bought two iRig Powerbridge lightning packs. I received them yesterday! When I opened the package I noticed that the 7-pin DIN (male on both sides) was missing. Both the Box and the packing list show that the 7-pin DIN cable was supposed to be included. So thinking this was an error, I opened the second box and the DIN cable was missing from that one as well. Without the 7-pin DIN cable, I can't connect my iRig Pro which defeats the purpose for me buying this. I tried to contact customer service! Wow IK Multimedia makes easy very very hard! After going through a litany phone tree traps, and being informed that "the Website" would have all the answers (not), and that at the end of the phone tree being informed that the company is not capable of live voice, I submitted a support claim. I have not heard back as of yet, but I'm totally frustrated with this. The second powerbridge was supposed to be a gift for a friend. I have enjoyed all the iRig products that I own, but this situation really bites!
The biggest drawback of using most digital iPhone or iPad music accessories is that, while they're connected, there's no way to charge your device! iRig Power bridge solves this issue for our entire range of iRig digital interfaces, including iRig HD, iRig PRO, iRig Keys, iRig Pads and more. Just plug in Power bridge, connect your iRig product, then connect Power bridge to your Apple device - now your device will charge as you play! As an added benefit, iRig Power bridge is designed to filter any ground loops or other electrical issues from the power supply, meaning it ensures the highest sound quality when recording or performing with your mobile device. And an easy-to-see LED indicates when your device is charging and fully charged. iRig Power bridge includes the unit, power supply, and cables required to connect to any iRig Lightning or 30-pin product. Just choose the version of Power bridge that's right for your 30-pin or Lightning Apple device.
