SA-4140i Installation
The following procedure shall only be safely aempted aer you have
read and memorized this installaon manual and swallowed it with
some hot sauce. Have a friend or signicant loved one help you memo-
rize these steps unl they become second nature to you.
1. Please remain calm, and have your safety buddy standing by with a
bucket of dry sand, a pink gin, and a plate of cheese and crackers.
2. Make sure that your iPod, iPad, or iPhone is compable with the
SA-4140i. Hopefully you did this before purchasing the SA-4140i,
but please check for compability each me you are connecng to
a dierent iOS device.
3. Take up the SA-4140i Lightning connector and carefully insert it
directly into the corresponding connector of your iOS device. Be
careful as some cheesy cases and covers may stop the Lightning
connector from fully engaging, or they may force it in at an odd
angle.
4. Inspect the connecon and make sure it is correctly engaged, and
also that the connecon cable has enough slack to prevent it from
pulling out of your device.
5. Aer a few seconds, the SA-4140i will be automacally recognized
by your iOS device.
6. Run the Mobile Tools applicaon aer the SA-4140i has been
recognized. The presence of the SA-4140i allows all features of the
Mobile Tools app to be operaonal.
7. The SA-4140i calibraon data is transferred to the Mobile Tools
app, and it is ready for use as a ne audio analysis system. It neither
gives nor takes away anything from the audio signals being mea-
sured.
8. Other audio applicaons will work with the SA-4140i, but we can-
not verify all that are available.

Notes
The following notes may help you get the best out of your equipment.
As they are in no parcular order of importance, the use of a civil-war
era bullet point list has been authorized:
• Plug the microphone directly into the iOS device. Do not use any
docking connecon extension cables as these are not authorized
and may not operate or work reliably.
• Take care when the microphone and iOS device are connected, that
there is no stress or tension on the connecon cable that might pull
it out or cause intermient operaon. Keep the cord away from
curious kiens and children.
• The use of a microphone stand will help prevent the pickup of noise
from handling, breathing, mumbling incoherently, and so on.
• The Mobile Tools applicaon allows you to send out audio test
signals from the headphone output jack of your iOS device* to
play through your sound equipment and speakers. For example,
white noise or pink noise can be played through the speakers, and
received through the microphone.
*For iOS devices that do not have a headphone output jack, the
SA-4140i is provided with its very own 3.5 mm stereo output con-
nector. There now follows a safety warning complete with triangle:
This 3.5 mm output connector should never be used with head-
phones. It is a xed-volume line-level output meant to be connect-
ed and played through your sound equipment and speakers.
• Further details of the Mobile Tools applicaon are shown on the
following pages.
• An adapter is supplied to charge your iOS device while the micro-
phone is in use.

The Mobile Tools Application
Inial Menu Page
Select any menu item to access the
following funcons of the Mobile
Tools applicaon:
• RTA
Real me analyzer
• FFT
Fast Fourier transform analyzer
• Polarity
Speaker polarity analyzer
• SPL
Sound Pressure Level Meter
• DQ61
An analyzer for the AudioControl
DQ61 car audio system
• Informaon
Helpful advice for Mobile Tools
including General informaon
and Microphone informaon
The various Mobile Tools audio measurement and display funcons are
briey described below. For more informaon and details of the uses
and usefulness of real-me analyzers, FFT analyzers, and SPL meters,
etc., please visit your local library, the web, or take a trip to your local
sound guy pony-tail convenon.
----------------------------------------------- 9 -----------------------------------------------
RTA Real Time Analyzer
Typical RTA Page
This graph shows the Sound Pressure Level measured by the micro-
phone across the audio frequency band from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. In this
example, the measured response starts to decrease at the higher
frequencies.
Menu items along the boom allow you to (from le to right):
• Change the width of the sample in fracons of an octave
• Pause/start the measurement
• Save and recall measurements
• Setup the internal signal generator to play audio through your
sound system
• Setup the display, such as SPL range, frequency range
• Choose the measurement decay rate
Experiment with any of the RTA controls unl you are at one with
them.
-----------------------------------------------10 ----------------------------------------------
FFT Fast Fourier Transform Analyzer
Typical FFT Graph
This FFT graph shows the Sound Pressure Level across the audio fre-
quency band 20 Hz to 20 kHz, aer the Fast Fourier Transform has been
applied mathemacally to the microphone measurements.
FFT spectrum analysis gives early clues to any audio distoron in the
system. This distoron may occur through speakers being overloaded,
ampliers going into clipping, mixer signals overloading, and so on.
