The Radial JPC is ‘plug & play” easy to use. Follow these 5 simple steps:

1. Make sure all levels are down before connecting!
As the JPC employs standard 48V phantom powering from the mixing console, it automatically turns on when phantom power is activated. Make sure your system levels are turned off as activating phantom will caused a loud pop in the system when activated. The two power-on LEDs on the front panel will illuminate when phantom power is present.

2. Connect the input side
The Radial JPC features standard connectors found on PCs and consumer electronic devices. These are connected just like a home stereo system.

3. Using the Thru-puts
The JPC input connectors may also be used as thru-puts to bridge the signal to a second mixer or tape recorder. This means that any input can also be used as an output. Clever!

4. Using the XLR Output
The JPC XLR outputs follow the AES standard with pin-1 ground and pin-2 hot. This is generally connected to a snake system or directly into a mixing console. As a phantom powered device, this is also where the JPC derives it’s working power. The output is mic level and as such, should be connected to a mic pre-amp such as common in all professional mixers.

5. Using the PAD
A –10dB pad on the front panel is used when auditioning the source. Some computer outputs also mate as headphone outs, which can overload and saturate the JPC’s input transformers. Simply depress the pad if the sound is distorted.
