REMOTE TURN-ON
The JX monoblock amplifier is turned on
and off using a conven12V remote
turn-on lead, typically controlled by the
source unit’s remote turn-on output.
The amplifier will turn on when +12V is
present at its
“Remote”
input and turn off when
+12V is switched off. If a source unit does not
have a dedicated remote turn-on output, the
amplifier’s turn-on lead can be connected to +12V
via a switch that derives power from an ignition-
switched circuit.
18 AWG wire is more than adequate for the
remote turn-on connection. To connect the
remote turn-on wire to the amplifier, strip 1/2-
inch (12 mm) of insulation from the wire and
insert it into the
“Remote”
receptacle on the
power connector. Tighten the connector down
using the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench.
AMPLIFIER INPUTS
The JX monoblock amplifier offers
two input connection methods, one for
high-level (speaker level) signals and one
for low-level (preamp level) signals.
You may run a stereo or a mono signal into
the inputs of the amplifier. The amplifier’s input
section automatically sums stereo signals to mono
for the internal amplifier section.
The amplifier will operate with only one input
connection (left or right), but will require an
increase in input sensitivity to overcome the loss
of signal. For this reason, when feeding a mono
input signal into the
"Low-Level Inputs"
, use a
Y-adaptor splitter
to split the mono signal and
connect it to both the Left and Right Low-Level
Inputs of the amplifier.
When feeding a mono signal to the
"Hi-Level
Inputs"
, connect it in parallel to both left and
right input wires.
1) Low-Level Inputs:
A standard left/
right pair of RCA type jacks is used for
preamp level (low-level) signal input on
the JX monoblocks. This is the preferred
connection method whenever available.
