Radial JX62™ guitar and amp stage switcher

Overview

The Radial JX62 is a guitar and amp switcher designed for both wired and wireless guitars in a live concert touring environment. It features Radial's award winning 100% discrete, class-A buffers for optimal signal transfer without distortion or artifact and isolated outputs to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops.

Housed in a 1 RU, 19" rack enclosure, the JX62 begins with 6 input channels, all of which are equipped with ¼" input and separate thru for a dedicated amplifier plus a trim control to balance the signal levels. Channels 1 and 2 are supplemented with Drag™ Control load correction to optimize tone when using wired connections. Channels 5 and 6 are equipped with dedicated Radial DI box outputs to send a 'clean' acoustic or bass signal direct to the PA system. Any or all channels may be active at one time and routed to a master bus which offers choice of AB outputs and features an effects loop for pedal trays. Both AB outputs are transformer isolated to eliminate ground loops and equipped with ground lift switch and polarity reverse to phase align amps if reversed. Both XLR and ¼" outputs are available for greater flexibility. Switching between outputs may be done from the front panel via an optional Radial JR2 remote footswitch.

For the stage tech, the JX62 sports a PFL (pre-fade-listen) and headphone amp that enables any or all inputs to be monitored without affecting the output. A separately buffered tuner/monitor output on the front panel follows the PFL select and may be used for quiet tuning.
