The little board that we mentioned earlier is baptized by SoundGraph “Sound Output Board” and contains two different RCA outputs; the pair from the left is to be inserted to the Line In jack of our sound card and the one on the right can output audio signal directly to the speakers:

On its PCB we can find a 6-pin header, where the iPhone/iPad audio cable connector (included) gets plugged in:

The cables that we will get in the box are the following:

-2 audio cables (one for connecting Sound Board to PC Line-in, one for connecting Sound Board to our speakers)

-2-wire cable for connecting the SmartBay to the Case PWR switch on our case

-5 screws

-iPhone/iPad, iMON USB cable

-iPhone/iPad audio cable

-24/3-pin power supply cable with stand-by power cable

For additional protection, the SmartBay is wrapped inside a transparent plastic bag:

On the frontal component of the 5.25’’ bay we get an additional warning on the transparent plastic film the product is covered with:

In the back of the unit, we can see the connectors grouped, where we need to insert the supplied cables; from left to right, we have:

-Stand-by power cable connector

-iPhone/iPad audio cable connector

-connector for Power Switch cable coming from the case

-power cable connector

-iPhone/iPad USB cable connector

-iMON USB cable connector

On the laterals we can find the pre-drilled holes, which will be used to fix the device inside our case:

The bottom comes with a large sticker, SoundGraph logo and certifications:

After installing all the necessary cables to the dock, we can see that quite a lot of cables must be routed inside our case to reach the needed components:

By removing the top transparent plastic film, we can learn about the location of the IR receiver and in the middle there is also an open sign:

By pulling down the frontal dock component, we can reveal the Data/Charge connector:
