Parasound JC 2 - Manual (Page 14)

14
JC 2 also insure the best possible analog connection to source components which are equipped
with balanced outputs.
We generally recommend balanced connections if your power amplifiers or source equipment
are located more than 10 feet from your JC 2. Many serious listeners prefer the sonic
characteristics of balanced connections because their lower inherent noise floor contributes
to a more defined and spacious soundstage. When using the balanced XLR input connections,
set the input’s corresponding Balanced/Unbalanced selector switch to the Balanced position.
Where should I set the Left and Right gain controls?
In most cases you will simply leave the Left and Right knobs fully clockwise where they are
completely out of the audio circuit. If you do need to compensate for speaker placement or room
acoustics lower one of the controls until the volume level of the left and right speakers are equal.
