Audio Output Connections 

 

The JC 3 Jr. Output jacks connect to the line level input jacks on your line level preamplifier or 
integrated amplifier.  Each channel has one balanced XLR jack and one unbalanced RCA output 
jack. If your line stage preamplifier or integrated amp is equipped with balanced XLR inputs we 
recommend using the JC 3 Jr. Balanced XLR output jacks for the maximum rejection of external 
noise sources. The balanced and unbalanced jacks are active simultaneously.   

 
 
Auto Turn On Option 

 

Turn On Options switch  

This switch enables you to choose whether your JC 3 Jr. is turned on and off manually or 
automatically, provided your preamp/line stage or integrated amp is equipped with a 12V 
trigger output jack.  

Note:

 Setting the Turn On Options switch to 12V disables the JC 3 Jr.’s front panel On-Off 

button.

In Jack for Auto Turn On 

When the JC 3 Jr. Turn On Options switch is set to 12

  

V the JC 3 Jr. will turn On and Off 

automatically with your preamplifier. The 12

  

V input is a 3.5mm (1/8”) mono mini jack. To 

trigger the JC 3 Jr. on and off automatically, insert the trigger wire plug into this jack and plug 
the other end into your preamplifier or integrated amp’s 12

 

V output jack. 

Note: 

The JC 3 Jr. trigger circuit draws a negligible 10

 

mA current from the triggering device.

V Loop Out Jack 

The Trigger Out jack lets you loop or “daisy-chain” the incoming trigger voltage to another 
component. 
 
 

AC Power Connections 

 

AC Power Inlet & Power Cord 

A high quality IEC-type AC power cord is supplied with your JC 3 Jr.  Please connect it 
directly to an AC wall outlet or power line conditioner that is always “live.”  If possible, plug 
your JC 3 Jr. into the same AC wall outlet or line conditioner that your line level preamplifier or 
integrated amp is plugged into.  If a different AC outlet is used for the JC 3 Jr. the ground 
potential may be higher or lower between the AC outlets, resulting in audible hum.   
 

Rear Panel

 

AC Power Switch 

This switch is provided to turn the JC 3 Jr. completely off when it will not be used for an 
extended time.  Normally, this switch is left in the “on” position (upper section is pressed in).
