track switcher. 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•2 as you explore its
uses. Should you have a question that is not covered in this manual, we invite you to send

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.

The JR•2 does not require any local power to make it work. It derives its power source from
the remotely connected Radial device and travels along the balanced cable to activate the
JR•2’s active circuits and illuminate the LEDs. There are two connectors to choose from. The
fi rst is an XLR-male, the second a combo connector with ¼” TRS and XLR-female. These
are wired in parallel to provide greater  exibility, which in turn, enables the JR•2 to be used
on several different Radial devices. Only one remote output connector should be used at

a time as using two concurrently could cause a control system confl ict.

Simply connect using a balanced cable and the JR•2 will spring to life. As the JR•2 can be
used with a number of Radial devices, please consult the specifi c owner’s manual for details
on the appropriate cable and how the two footswitches will interact.
