The paper presents phase-resolved spectroscopy of the novalike (UX UMa type) cataclysmic binary IX Vel with FWHM resolutions of 1.3 A at H-beta and 2.7 A at H-alpha. The spectroscopic orbital period is 0.193929(2) days. The Balmer and HeI emission-line profiles consist of a broad component from the accretion disk and an anti-phased sharp component from the irradiated face of the late-type secondary star. A geometric and kinematic model of the irradiation-produced lines is used to derive the inclination of the system and the masses of the white dwarf and the late-type star.
