What is the JC 2 BP Bypass?
The JC 2 BP bypass enables you to blend the JC 2 BP into a surround sound system by
inserting it into the Left and Right channel signal path “downstream” between your surround
processor or receiver and the power amplifier for your Left and Right speakers.
Note: The Bypass function works with either the JC 2 BP’s unbalanced RCA input jacks or its
balanced XLR input jacks.
How does the JC 2 BP Bypass work?
The JC 2 BP Bypass locks out the master volume control and the left and right channel gain
controls so its output level is fixed at unity gain. When the JC 2 BP output is fixed at unity gain
the signal level at its output jacks is the same as the signal level at its input jacks. The JC 2 BP
will be transparent to the left and right channel analog line level outputs from your surround
processor or receiver.
This will allow you to share amplifier(s) and speakers with both the JC 2 BP and your surround
sound system. Your analog sources will continue to be routed through the JC 2 BP and the left
and right channel signals from your surround processor or receiver will be unaffected by the JC
2 BP as they pass through it.
The Bypass function requires the JC 2 BP to be powered on, since its bypass circuit is active.
The Bypass function in the JC 2 BP has been accomplished without modifying the JC 2 left and
right channel audio boards in any way. The JC 2 BP measures and sounds identical to the JC 2
in every respect.
