INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Radial JR•1 footswitch. Please take a few moments to read this short manual and familiarize yourself with the various functions. This will help you get the most out of the JR•1 as you explore its uses. Should you have a question that is not covered in this manual, we invite you to send us an email at info@radialeng.com and we will do our very best to reply in short order.
OVERVIEW
The Radial JR•1 is a remote footswitch equipped with either a latching footswitch (JR•1L) or a momentary footswitch (JR•1M) depending on which model you have purchased. The JR•1 controls various Radial devices, such as the Relay Xo stereo switcher, and derives its power from the device under control, thus eliminating the need for a local power supply or batteries.
LATCHING: The JR•1L is equipped with a latching footswitch that will change states each time it is pressed. Press the switch once to toggle from A to B and press again to change back to A. A latching footswitch is a good option when switching effects that stay on for the duration of a song.
MOMENTARY : The JR•1M is equipped with a momentary footswitch that will change states only when held down. Press and hold the switch to toggle from A to B and release the switch to change back to A. The momentary footswitch is well suited for ‘push-to-talk’ uses like toggling to an intercom system to speak with stage technicians.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Connecting the JR•1 is done using ¼” guitar cables or XLR mic lines depending on the device you are connecting to. The rear panel features a combo connector that accepts ¼” or XLR connectors and an alternate XLR connector is provided for flexibility.
Only one remote output connector should be used at a time as using two
concurrently could cause a control system conflict.
CONNECTING WITH ¼” GUITAR CABLES
Standard coaxial guitar and instrument cable may be used to connect the JR•1
to the remote device.
CONNECTING WITH XLR MIC LINES
Any standard XLR mic cable may be used. The locking XLR connectors are benefi
cial on busy stages as it reduces the opportunity for a connection to come to
lose during a performance. Press the metal tab above the connector to release
the cable.
Another advantage is that XLR cables can be daisy-chained together to make a longer cable. This means you won’t have to depend on a specific custom-built cable to connect your remote device.
ACTIVE MODE
On the rear panel, you will fi nd a switch labeled ACTIVE/PASSIVE. This is
recessed to prevent accidentally changing settings during use. Use a small
screwdriver to access the ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch during setup. Once you are
done, you will likely leave it alone.
Set the switch to ‘active’ (inward position) when the JR•1 is controlling a Radial device such as the Relay Xo stereo switcher. When set to active, the JR•1 sources its power from the remote device and the LED indicators work.
PASSIVE MODE
A passive mode may be engaged that allows the JR•1 to function as a standard
footswitch for any device with a compatible ¼” footswitch jack. Use passive
mode with non-Radial devices such as guitar amplifi ers to change amp channels
or electronic keyboard to turn on the sustain.
To use like a standard footswitch, set the ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch to ‘passive’
(outward position). The A/B status LEDs will not illuminate when the JR•1 is
operating in passive mode. Connection is done the same way with ¼” guitar
cable. Connect one end to the JR•1 and the other to a compatible footswitch
jack.
