The Radial JR•2 is a remote footswitch equipped with two footswitches that enable you to
control various functions depending on the device that is connected. The left footswitch
is designated as MUTE while the right footswitch is designated as A or B. Above each
footswitch are a series of status LEDs. These are used to provide local visual feedback when
controlling a remote device. The JR•2 derives its power from the Radial device that is being
controlled, thus eliminating the need for a local power supply or batteries. Connecting to and
from the JR•2 is done using a balanced cable with either XLR or TRS connectors.
