  • Page 7: Development

    To further enhance functionality, all of the input connectors are designed to act as thru-puts. This feature allows the signal from a given source to not only pass through the JPC to the XLR balanced output, but allows the system engineer to drive a secondary mixer or recorder at the same time.
  • Page 8 Another major concern for the field technician is keeping size to a minimum. What is the point of using a laptop computer only to have the interface double its size! As a tool, the JPC is compact enough to fit in a toolbox making it easy to carry anywhere and quick to deploy.
  • Page 9 The JPC XLR outputs follow the AES standard with pin-1 being ground and pin-2 hot. The XLR outputs are generally connected to a snake system or directly into a mixing console. The output of the JPC is mic level and as such, should be connected to the consoles mic pre-amp.

  • Page 11: Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use the JPC on keyboards? Yes. Just make sure you do not overload the JPC by driving too much signal through it. The JPC’s smaller transformers are designed for consumer type levels and keyboards, samplers and drum machines are usually much more dynamic and uncompressed.
  • Page 12 I am not getting any sound? Check to see if you have the 48V phantom power is turned on at your mixer. The two LEDs on the JPC will illuminate when phantom power is present.
