Radial J+4 - order # R800 8015 00
Suggested retail: $xxx USD

   
J+4TM Balanced Signal Driver
Stereo -10dB to +4dB interface
Transformer isolated to eliminate noise
Greater than 100dB of dynamic range
Plug and play easy to use
  The Radial J+4 is a stereo interface designed to accept consumer level -10dB unbalanced high impedance signals and convert them to +4dB balanced low impedance signals for easy manipulation in professional level environments such as broadcast, recording studios and live touring.

Careful attention has been paid to eliminate noise by combining the advantages of active signal buffering with transformer isolation. The J+4 delivers better than 95dB signal to noise while ensuring hum and buzz caused by ground loops along with spurious noise from clocking does not pollute the signal path. Controls have been kept to a minimum. This includes a stereo level control, high pass (low cut filter) and ground lift. A selection of input connectors include a stacked set of ¼`` jacks for DJ mixers or keyboards, RCA's for CD players and a mini 3.5mm for I-pods.

As with all Radial products, the Radial J+4 is built tough to handle the extreme rigors of professional touring. A unique 14-gauge steel I-beam inner frame ensures the sensitive PC board will not be subjected to outside stress which could potentially cause solder joints to fail. An innovative book-end outer shell creates protective zones around the sensitive controls, switches and connectors to further improve dependability while a full bottom no-slip pad provides both mechanical and electrical isolation.

The Radial J+4 balanced line driver delivers exceptional sonic performance, plenty of headroom and ultra low noise making it the ideal companion in today's more demanding professional audio systems.

 

Application 1 - The J+4 with CD/DVD audio:

The J+4 is equipped with RCA inputs so a simple audio patch cable is all that is required to connect most consumer audio equipment. A pair of balanced XLR outputs connect to +4 professional audio gear. A ground lift switch is provided if required to eliminate noise from ground loops and a low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted low frequency rumble.


 

Application 2 - The J+4 with audio players & computers:

The J+4 is equipped with a 1/8" stereo (TSR) input to make connecting to iPods, laptop computers and other portable media devices a breeze. The J+4's balanced XLR outputs in this example are connect to a portable powered PA system. A ground lift switch eliminates hum and buzz caused by ground loops and a low-cut filter helps to reduce unwanted rumble.


 

Application 3 - J+4s with multi-track playback/recorder:

Up to eight J+4's can be mounted in a Radial J-Rack™. Each J+4 is equipped
with two 1/4" input connectors per unit so up to 16 channels can connect directly to a mixing console using the balanced XLR connectors. A ground lift switch eliminates hum and buzz caused by ground loops, which often happen when connecting various types of equipment together. A low-cut filter is provided to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble.
