DIGITAL SIGNAL INPUT CONNECTION
The two XLR-type connectors used for analog audio signals are also used for digital audio signals.
These are designed for the AES/EBU digital signal (AES3 Standard). Use the female XLR as the signal
input. Use the male XLR as a loop-thru output to connect the same signal input to additional JF
NT
/JF
NT
s.
To use these connectors for digital audio input signals, repeatedly press the associated momentary
INPUT SELECT switch, cycling through the LED indications until either the AES/EBU Ch 1 or the
AES/EBU Ch 2 LED is illuminated.
Channel 1 and Channel 2 are also referred to as Subframe 1 and Subframe 2.

ports. EAWPilot provides user-adjustable control over individual elements in the array and over the
array as a whole.
Port Type:
USB 1.1
Cable:

U-NET NETWORK CONNECTION
The two, identical, locking Neutrik EtherCon connectors on the rear of each JF

combine a
RJ45 connector with a locking shell. They are designed for connecting EAW’s audio and control
signals between additional JF

s and other U-Net enabled devices. Either connector may be
used as the ports are bi-directional. In addition they auto-sense the cable wiring configuration
(standard or crossover).
Cable:
Ethernet CAT-5 or better (300 feet / 91 meters)
Mating Connector:
RJ45 with or without Neutrik NE8MC cable carrier
Wiring Configuration:
Standard or crossover cable (ports auto-sense cable configuration)
Green Status LED:
Indicates communication is established between two devices
Red Status LED:
Indicates a network error. A solid red LED indicates there is an error
somewhere in the network. A blinking red LED indicates the device
that is causing the error.
To use the U-Net input signal, repeatedly press the associated momentary INPUT SELECT switch
cycling through the LED indications until all three LEDs are illuminated.
Note:
EAWPilot must be used to select the U-Net audio channel and configure the U-Net audio routing.
