MAKING CONNECTIONS
The JDX 48 will typically be located near the guitar amplier to facilitate
short speaker cables. We recommend speaker cables be 3m (6') or less
in length with a minimum of 16AWG two conductor cable. Longer cables
should use heavier gauges to maintain the best power transfer.
Before you begin, ensure your amplier and PA or recording system
are turned off. Lower all the volume controls to minimum to avoid
loud transients.
1. Connect your amplier’s speaker output to the FROM AMP ¼” jack
on the JDX 48.
2. Connect the SPEAKER ¼” jack on the JDX 48 to your speaker cabinet.
3. Connect the XLR output to a mic preamp input on your mixing console
using a standard XLR microphone cable up to 100m (300') in length.
4. Turn on phantom power at your mixer or preamp. If phantom power is
not available connect the JDX 48 power supply. Check the LED power
indicator to conrm power is present.
5. Turn on your amp and bring up the volume to a low level for testing.
Always test at low volume before cranking it up.
