Input Mixing
The JIB/PA50 has two line-level stereo inputs on
RCA connectors plus one line-level stereo input
on a 3.5mm mini-jack and one sub-line level
(30 mV) mono input on a TRS (3.5mm) mini-jack.
Input switching is not needed All signals are mixed
inside the amp at a 1:1:1 ratio.
Input 1
Use the Input 1 potentiometer on the
front panel to control the gain.
Input 2
The mono sound will be evenly mixed into
the left and right amp channels.
Input 2
Use the Input 2 potentiometer on the
front panel to control the gain on the input 2
signal.
External Volume Control
You can plug in an optional 10k volume pot.
The external volume control only adjusts the
mixed Input 1 signals, not the Input 2 signal.
The JIB/PA50 Compact Power Amplifier is an energy-efficient, 50amp Energy Star rated® Class-D
amplifier and is perfect for the classroom or meeting room environment.

Installing the Compact Power Amplifier
Installing the Compact Power Amplifier
Use standard RCA connectors and/or 1/8"
(3.5mm) mini-cables to connect the input
devices (e.g., the projector, other audio sources)
to the power amp.
Match the wiring polarity. For example, red
for positive, black or white for negative.
Make sure no wire strand bridges (shorts)
the adjacent terminals.
Insert all four wires on each speaker into the
blue 4-pin captive screw plug supplied with the
power amp.
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
locking screws.
Insert the captive screw plug into the
receptacle on the amp’s rear panel
(see drawing).
Attach the power amp plug to the
amplifier.
Do you need to wire the 10k pot
volume? If Yes, proceed to Step 3
below
When wiring the 10V, Vol/Mute and GND
outputs, strip off the insulation from the
external volume control wire by 3/16". Make
sure the wire ends do not touch. Keep
exposed wire ends short after stripping. If the
wires touch, they may short the amp.
Follow the 10k Pot Volume Wiring Diagram
to connect the external volume control to the
amp (Figure 4).
Insert all three pins from the external
volume control into the green 3-pin
captive screw plug supplied with the
amp (see drawing).
Use a #1 flat blade screwdriver to
tighten the locking screws.
Insert the captive screw plug into the
receptacle on the amp’s rear panel
(Figure 5).

clockwise slowly until the sound distorts.
Turn the Input 1 control counter-clockwise
until the distortion disappears.
Adjust the 10k pot volume until you reach
the desired sound level.
After setting up the Input 1, let the sound
continue to play and proceed to the “Input
2 Setup” section on page 6.
