New Model
JC 2 BP
Halo JC 2 BP With Theater Bypass Function
What is the JC 2 BP Theater Bypass?
The JC 2 BP is identical to the the original JC 2 stereo preamplifier, with the addition of a home theater
Bypass function. The new Bypass function enables your surround system’s left and right front speakers and
their power amplifier to do double duty as the left and right channels of an analog stereo system.
Simply connect the JC 2 BP between your surround processor or receiver’s left and right channel line level
output jacks and the input jacks on the power amplifier which drives your left and right front speakers.
Your stereo analog sources will connect to the JC 2 BP so you can listen to your favorite music without
compromises to analog purity that are inevitable when digital processing circuitry is in the same chassis.
When you want to watch movies with digital surround simply press a button on the JC 2 BP’s new remote
control and the left and right front channel signals from your surround processor or receiver will pass through
the JC 2 BP as if it wasn’t even there.
Enjoy the best of both worlds with perfect analog stereo and a seamless transition to digital surround.
How does the JC 2 BP Bypass work?
The JC 2 BP lets you bypasses its master volume control and the left and right channel gain controls. Fixed
resistors set the signal level at its output jacks for “unity gain.” This means the signal level at the JC 2 BP
output jacks is exactly the same as the signal level at its input jacks so you won’t need to re-calibrate the
speaker levels in your surround system. The JC 2 BP Bypass function operates with both its unbalanced and
its balanced inputs and outputs.
The Bypass function does require the JC 2 BP to be powered on, since the bypass circuit is active.
