JPC Features & Specifications
 







      
  The JPC offers a myriad of input connector options to simplify interfacing your computer, DVD/CD, MP3 player or other consumer audio device with the world of AES standard professional ballanced equipment. As with all Radial products, only the highest professional standards are used inside and out, in circuitry and construction.
  Inside the JPC
1. Isolated XLR connectors to eliminate chassis ground potential.
2. Active balanced circuit drives long cable runs without signal loss.
3. Audio Transformers on both inputs provide 100% isolation to eliminate hum and noise causing ground loops.
4. 14-Gauge steel welded I-beam construction makes it impossible to torque the PC board.
5. High grade switches - long life, high cycle for reliable performance.
6. Military spec PC board with full surface ground plane to reduce RF noise susceptibility.

     



         


Input and Output Panels
7. –10dB pad reduces the level going into the JPC from loud sources that could overload the circuit and cause distortion.
8. 48V Power on LEDs lets you know that phantom has been turned on and is powering the two channels.
9. 1/4” connectors for each channel in parallel with RCA and 1/8" connectors
10. 1/8” TRS (stereo) connector designed for PCs and laptops, makes connection easy with standard 1/8” to 1/8” cable.
11. Twin RCA connectors are great for connecting DVD/CD players and video machines. RCA thru-puts for flexibility.
12. Book-end design creates a protective zone around the switches & connectors – Indestructable 14-gauge steel construction.
13 Ground Lift switch - recessed to prevent accidental operation. Disconnects the ground path to the transformer at the XLR output. This is used when a ground path is made at the input side such as with a computer or rack module.
14. Full no-slip rubber bottom pad provides mechanical isolation, electrical insulation and ‘stay-put-ability!’
15. Twin balanced XLR male output connectors; AES standard with Pin-1 ground and Pin-2 hot.
     
   
     
Construction

The JPC is designed to withstand the rigors of high-use professional environments! Radial's innovative book-end design provides a protective zone around the switches and connectors that makes it practically impossible to damage these components.

Stress on circuit boards causes broken and intermittant solder joints and is a common cause of failure in lesser DI's. Radial's 14-gauge welded I-beam inner chassis and 14-guage outer shell greatly reduce the possibility of torque stress being applied to the PC board.

A full-bottom no-slip rubber pad works double duty by (a) providing protection from electrical shock from (eg:) guitar amp handles which are often directly coupled to the amp chassis, and (b) assuring that the J48 won’t slip and slide around.

Like all Radial DI's, the JPC features a mil spec PC board, high-use switches & connectors, 14-guage welded internal I-beam chassis wrapped in a 14-gauge 'bookend' outer shell and baked enamel finish. Virtually Indestructable!
