CONNECTING YOUR JC 2 continued
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
There are four pairs of output connections on the JC 2. All of them are active simultaneously.
Record Out Jacks
The Record Out jacks connect to the
Record Input jacks on your audio
recorder. The Record Out jacks provide
fixed level signals that are unaffected
by the master volume control, L or R
level trim controls, mute or polarity
invert select.
Note:
The Record Out jacks of the JC 2
are not switched as a monitor
for simultaneous comparisons of
recording to source.
Main Output Jacks
The Main Output Jacks are the primary
outputs that connect to the inputs on
your amplifier(s). There are both
balanced and unbalanced Main Out
jacks. If your amplifier is equipped with
balanced inputs we recommend this
type of connection. The polarity of the
Main Outputs is the same as the input,
but can be inverted 180° by pressing the
Invert button on the JC 2’s remote control. When polarity is inverted the POLARITY INVERT
indicator will illuminate on the front panel. For more information on when to use the polarity
invert feature please see the Frequently Asked Questions section of this manual.
Note:
The JC 2 uses a fully differential balanced circuit and its balanced outputs do not require
or use phase inverters.
Inverted Out Jacks
The polarity at the Inverted Out jacks is always 180° from the input signal, and is not affected
by the Invert button on the remote. You may use the inverted output jacks to maintain correct
absolute polarity if your power amplifier(s) invert polarity. For more information on absolute
polarity please see the Frequently Asked Questions section of this manual.
Inverted Out Jacks and Power Amplifier Bridging
You can bridge a conventional two channel power amplifier to mono by connecting one amplifier
input channel to the JC 2’s left channel Inverted Out jack and the other amplifier input channel to
the JC 2’s right channel Main Out jack. Connect a single mono speaker to the amplifier’s left and
right positive (+) terminals, with no wires connected to its negative (–) terminals.
Note:
While this won’t hurt the JC 2, you can seriously damage the power amplifier if you make
any connections to its negative (–) speaker terminals.
Connecting a Signal Processor to Your JC 2
You can patch a signal processor between the JC 2 and your power amplifier(s). This would
include devices such as an electronic crossover or the equalizer that is supplied with a particular
speaker. Make sure that the signal processor’s input can accept the full output of the JC 2
without overloading. You should also adjust the gain controls of your amplifier, processor, and
the JC 2 for the lowest noise level.
