The Tuner Output; The Direct Output - Radial Engineering JX44 V2 Owner's Manual

THE TUNER OUTPUT

The tuner output on the rear panel of the JX44 is an unbalanced 1/4" connection designed to feed a tuner pedal or
rackmount guitar tuner. This output is buffered to remove the tuner from the signal chain and prevent clock noise
from bleeding onto the primary audio signal path.
The tuner output is fed from all inactive instrument inputs. So if you have Input-1 and
Input-2 active, then Input-3 and Input-4 will both feed the tuner out. This makes it easy
for guitar techs to tune unused instruments at any given time without disrupting the
performance.
THE DIRECT OUT
The JX44 is equipped with a Direct output for connecting to mixing consoles when using
acoustic instruments, or for capturing a performance or rehearsal by connecting to a
recording interface. This output features a premium Jensen transformer for exceptional
audio quality and isolation to prevent noise from ground loops.
Use balanced XLR cables to connect the Direct out to the mic-level input of your mixer or
interface. The Direct out section incorporates two additional switches:
• Lift
Ground lift switch isolates pin-1 on the Direct out XLR to reduce buzz and hum caused by ground loops.
• Assign
This three-position switch selects which inputs will feed the Direct output:
When set to PRE all active inputs are routed to the Direct out before any effects are applied from either
the SGI Loop or the EFX Loop.
In the POST setting all active inputs feed the direct out after effects have been added from both the SGI
Loop and the EFX Loop. The left and right channels of the EFX Loop are blended together equally to
feed the Direct out.
When set to IN-4, the fourth instrument input is always feeding the Direct out while inputs 1-3 are
excluded. When IN-4 is selected, no effects will feed the Direct out from either the SGI Loop or the EFX
Loop, and instrument Input-4 will always be active through the Direct out regardless of whether the
front panel ON switch is engaged for that input.

When using the JX44 with both electric and acoustic instruments,
connect the acoustic to Input-4 and assign it to the Direct output.
