As always, before making any electrical or audio connections, ensure all
volume levels are turned down or systems turned off. This prevents turn-
on or connection transients from damaging more sensitive components
such as tweeters. A handy cable clamp is provided that can be used to
secure the power supply if needed. Simply loosen with a hex key, slip the
power supply cable into the cavity and tighten. There is no power switch.
As soon as you plug in the JX-42 it will come to life.
As high impedance circuits are prone to noise, we recommend using high
quality coaxial cables with sturdy metal connectors. It is also worth noting
that shorter cables will be less prone to noise versus longer ones and
when you exceed 8 meters (25’), the capacitive effect of the cable will
begin to be audible.
When testing, start by connecting 1 guitar and 1 amp without any pedals.
This keeps things simple and avoids lengthily trouble shooting. Connect
your guitar into the JX-42 input-1 and the output-A from the JX-42 to your
guitar amp. Check to make sure the power supply is properly connected.
One of the front panel LEDs will illuminate to let you know if you are good
to go. Using the front panel switch, select input-1 and output-A
Use a hex driver to
loosen the cable lock.
Pass the cable through
and re-tighten.
