Use the EAWPilot to apply user-adjustable signal processing to the overall array. The interface provides standard DSP functions, including parametric equalization, high/low shelving, low- and high-pass filtering, level, and signal delay.

    The two, identical, locking Neutrik EtherCon connectors on the rear of each JF combine a RJ45 connector with a locking shell. They are designed for connecting EAW’s audio and control signals between additional JF s and other U-Net enabled devices. Either connector may be used as the ports are bi-directional.

    Section 7 Operation 7 . 1 O p e r a t i n g L i m i t s While the JF processing includes robust driver and amplifier protection algorithms and circuits, it is ultimately the responsibility of the audio system operator to operate the loudspeakers within their capabilities.

  • Page 19: Amplifier Status

    CAUTION: Electronic limiters cannot provide absolute protection against driver failure. Thus, if limiting is occurring, it is a warning that excessive signal levels are being approached. It is NOT an indication that the loudspeaker is successfully protecting itself. 7.3.4 AMPLIFIER STATUS The AMPLIFIER STATUS indicator monitors the status of each of the two amplifiers in the full- range and subwoofer models.

    7.6.2 STANDBY JUMPER Use these dry contacts to remotely control the operational status of the loudspeaker’s electronics. Short the contacts to place the amplifiers in standby mode. This disables the high voltage rails powering the amplifiers, muting the system and reducing power consumption when the system is not being used.
