The Kicker iKICK iK501 Digital Stereo System for iPhone and iPod is designed for “Livin’ Loud” with your iPod in the
home environment. The iK501 is fully featured with dual full-range 5” (`127mm) Kicker drivers and 3/4” (20mm) silk dome
tweeters driven by a powerful stereo amplifi er with digital signal processing. The 6” (152mm) square passive radiator
(subwoofer) on the back of the iK501 balances the sonic output, adding the punchy low-frequency response that put
Kicker subwoofers on the map. The rotary control and infrared remote allow simple, streamlined control of your iK501
Stereo System. The iK501 can be used with any 4th generation or newer iPod. In addition, the iK501 boasts a wide
range of connectivity options including stereo RCA outputs, composite video output, and an 1/8” stereo auxiliary input for
incorporating additional audio devices with your iK501 Stereo System. Note: 3rd Generation and older iPods must use
the auxiliary input instead of the Docking Bay.

DOCKINGYOURiPod
Figure 1
The iK501 docking station has been optimized to match the sonic output of the iPod with the iPod’s EQ in the “Off”
setting. The iPod’s “Sound Check” should also be off; otherwise you may experience poor bass response and lower
volume levels in your music.
