The Jr-5 Remote - Radial Engineering JX44 V2 Owner's Manual

True to the Music
THE JR-5 REMOTE FOOTSWITCH
The JX44 is compatible with the optional Radial JR-5 Remote, a rugged footswitch that
can control the instrument or the amplifier switching functions from up to 300 feet away.
This gives guitar technicians the ability to manage inputs and outputs hands-free, or it
can allow the artist to control the JX44 from their pedalboard on stage.
The JR-5 connects to the JX44 using a standard XLR mic cable. No local power supply
is required, as the JR-5 receives power automatically from the JX44. You can use the
JR-5 to remotely switch guitar inputs or amplifier outputs, or you can use two JR-5
remotes simultaneously to control both features.

USING THE JR-5 FOR AMPLIFIERS
To control the amplifier outputs with the JR-5, connect to the XLR marked AMPS. The footswitches 1-4 on the JR-5
will now control the ON switches on the JX44 for the amplifier outputs. When selecting amplifiers with the JR-5
remote, the LED status indicators on the front panel of the JX44 will also turn on/off to mirror your selections.
When used for amplifier switching, the center MUTE footswitch on the JR-5 duplicates the JX44's front panel mute
control. Both switches can be used to silence the amplifier outputs of the JX44, and their LED indicators sync
together to display the current mute status at both locations.
USING THE JR-5 TO STORE AND RECALL BANKS
The JR-5 can also be operated in BANK mode, which stores up to four combinations of instrument or amplifier on/off
settings, eliminating excess toe-tapping during complex performances. BANK mode can be accessed when using
the JR-5 for either guitar or amplifier switching.
When the JR-5 is operating in BANK mode, the JX44 front panel switches will still function as typical on/off switches
for each input or output. This scenario allows you to recall four banks with the JR-5 footswitch, while using the JX44
front panel controls to temporarily add or subtract instruments/amplifiers.

The JR-5 remote can be used from up to 300 feet away to select
either the guitar inputs or the amplifier outputs.

USING THE JR-5 FOR GUITARS
To control the instrument inputs with the JR-5,
connect it to the XLR input labelled GUITARS.
The footswitches 1-4 on the JR-5 will perform the
same function as the ON switches on the front
panel of the JX44, complete with LED indicators
to let you know at a glance which instruments are
currently active.
In addition to the input selector footswitches, the
JR-5 includes a MUTE switch. When pressed,
this will temporarily mute all amplifier outputs
on the JX44. Pressing this switch a second time
will revert back to the prior combination of active
outputs.
