CONNECTING YOUR JC 2 | 7 |
Always disconnect the AC cord to your JC 2 and power amplifier(s) before making or changing any input, output or trigger wire connections. Inserting or removing an input or output cable while the JC 2 or power amplifiers are turned on can result in a blast of sound that can damage your loudspeakers. Make sure there is no strain or tension on any cables that could cause them to pull loose.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
There are a total of six line level input jacks on your JC 2. Input 1 and Input 2 include both Balanced XLR and Unbalanced RCA connections.
Unbalanced RCA Input Jacks
All of the six unbalanced RCA inputs have the same input sensitivity and impedance. These inputs are compatible with any typical analog line level source. When using the In 1 or In 2 unbalanced RCA input connections, set the input’s corresponding Balanced/ Unbalanced selector switch to Unbalanced.
Balanced XLR Input Jacks
Use these inputs to connect any source components with balanced outputs. A balanced line provides superior hum and noise cancellation, especially for long cable runs. Many serious listeners also prefer the sonic characteristics of balanced interconnects because the lower inherent noise floor contributes to a more defined and spacious soundstage. When using the balanced XLR input connections, set the input’s corresponding Balanced/Unbalanced selector switch to Balanced.
