On the iPod, (or the Doc) is a 3,5 mm socket, where the earphone or speakers go in. On your Amplifier, are two gulp entrys, called line input. Just use (perhaps you still have to buy one) a cable from 3,5 mm Stereo, to 2 tulip plugs to connect both. Then when playing, test the volume you should put the iPod top, so your amp can handle he signal and the sound through the speakers sounds good. Then use the volume knob on the amp to fine adjust.
The amp was build in a time there were no iPods, so don't expect an USB entry o that one.
Cable you need:
Depends what type of sockets these have. If the Pre-Amp has a RCA phono sockets you just need some RCA leads. I don't know if the Arcam Amp works with any pre-amp. But if it does, it's likely to have the same type sockets as the others. So you just buy another two RCA leads and connect it up.
U can buy a connector from shop. Otherwise u can modificate a headset plug in cable n a amplifi plug in cable. it's easy i've always do the same with my mp3. Headset cable got 3 wire inside t ground is brown 2other wire can connect 2gether amplif cable got 2 wire, 1 is black or brown it's a ground t other is red. Just connect it 2gether. It's work for me. Keep trying. It's better than spend 20bucks buy a connector. Good luck
Yes all you need is a 3.5mm plug (the same as a headphone plug) to two RCA phono plugs. The 3.5mm plug goes into the headphone socket of your i-pod. The RCA's got into an aux imput of your amp.
The KC-550 is a MONAURAL amp and since the Ipod emits STEREO you have to use a special cable to MIX both the left and right from the Ipod into a single, monaural signal.
You can MAKE a cheapy mixer that will serve your purpose by using a series resistor, say 1K from each of the two Ipod output channels to go to the single mono input to the KC-550.
I would build it this way: Find an old IPOD cable or any 1/8 inch stereo cable and seperate the two wires and the shield. In a 1/4 inch plug, connect the shield from the Ipod cable to the shield (barrel sleeve) of the 1/4 inch plug. Connect one lead of each of TWO 1K resistors to the TIP connection of the 1/4 inch plug. Connect each of the two signal leads from the Ipod to the two remaining floating resistor leads. Insulate the splices.
DON'T forget to put the shell for the 1/4 inch plug over the cable before connecting the cable to the 1/4 inch jack. All parts should be readily available at Radio Shack.
I don't know that I have ever seen a suitable ready made mixer cable for this function.
go to radio shack near you and buy an audio adapter number(12-2057). connect the small plug to the ipod and the others two ends to amp line in or aux in.
You need a 3.5mm mini jack coupler lead with phono plugs on end plug one end into your headphone output on ipod and phonos into your amp lead must be stereo
3.5 Jack to two RCA jacks
