Setup:

Please read and understand the operational instructions and safety 

issues associated with this product.  We go through great effort to 

make a soundly engineered, and supurbly performing product of 

lasting duribility.   

We understand that things infrequently go wrong, if you have any 

questions or problems please contact either your dealer or the 

factory, we are here to support the product and you, the user.

As with all audio electronics the power cable should be the last 

thing attached and the first one removed any time you hook up or 

remove equipment from the signal chain. The JAE umbilical cable 

should never be connected or removed without turning the XP-22 

off from the rear power switch or unplugging the AC power cord.

Placing the power supply

The preamplifier’s voltage and current rating are indicated by 

affixed tag on the rear of the preamplifier.  The preamplifier 

typically draws 45 watts during operation.  Please verify that the 

indicated voltage requirement of this preamplifier is consistent with 

the utility voltage at your location.

We have provided a standard IEC AC power cord that fits into 

the IEC 320 line receptacle at the rear of the preamplifier chassis. 

The preamplifier is equipped for operation with an earth ground 

provided by the users AC outlet.  Do not defeat this ground.  

Audio Specialty FUSE: NOTE: The “Overload” and “Time Delay 

characteristics” will differ slightly (due to the different metallurgy 

of the fuse elements) between commercial grade and audio 

grade fuses. We can’t guarantee that your audiophile grade fuse, 

won’t blow at a different in-rush current threshold, than your stock 

commercial fuse.

 

Use of other than approved fuses, may invalidate your product 

warranty and result in product damage.

There are a total of five inputs.  Two of the five inputs are balanced 

XLR only.  The other three inputs are single-ended only.  There are 

two pairs of outputs available with identical gain structure.  One 

pair Balanced, one pair single-ended.

Balanced inputs and outputs are via XLR connectors.  Single-

ended inputs and outputs are via RCA connectors.  On the XLR 

connectors, pin 1 is grounded, pin 2 is the positive signal, and pin 

3 is the negative signal. Left channel RCA connectors are marked 

with “L”.  Right channel RCA connectors are marked with “R”.  In
