Speaker Connections

Speaker Terminals

The JCA100 has a single pair of speaker output terminals. The speaker terminals accept wires terminated

with banana plugs, spade connectors up to 16mm wide or bare wire up to 8 AWG.

Bare Speaker Wire Ends

If you plan to connect your speaker cables with bare wire ends, use a wire stripper to remove just

enough insulation to expose about a 1»2" (13 mm) length of bare wire. You can insert the stripped bare

wire into the hole that goes vertically through each terminal’s metal post. Before inserting the wire, twist

its bare strands tightly so they are all contained within the speaker terminal, with no stray strands. If you

have a soldering iron, you can “tin” (apply a small amount of molten solder) to each stripped bare wire to

prevent it from unraveling, fraying and oxidizing.

Correct Speaker Polarity is Important

Polarity refers to + and – speaker wire connections. Speaker wires are coded with color, printing or a ridge on

the insulation of one lead so you know which lead was connected to the + and – terminals at the other end.

This coding will help you keep the + and - polarity consistent for all channels. If one speaker is wired with

incorrect polarity it will significantly impair the sound quality.

Speaker Wire Length and Gauge (thickness)

When selecting speaker wire, follow these guidelines:

• Keep the length of your speaker wire as short as possible.

• Use the thickest wire practical. For lengths greater than 25 feet, use speaker wire with an AWG

(gauge) of 14 or lower. The smaller the AWG number, the thicker the wire.

Turn On Options Switch

The setting of the rear panel three position Turn On Options switch determines

how the JCA100 turns on and off. Setting this switch to Audio or 12 V disables the

JCA100’s front panel On-Off button. There are three turn-on options:

Manual: When the Turn On Options switch is set to Manual the JCA100 is

turned on and off manually only by pressing the On-Off button on its front panel

every time you want to listen to music.

Audio: When the Turn On Options switch is set to Audio the JCA100 will be

turned on automatically when an audio signal is present at either of its Input

jacks. After the audio signal ceases the amplifier will remain on for

approximately 8-10 minutes before shutting itself off. This prevents unintended

turn-off during pauses in your music.

Note: The actual turn-off delay can vary from unit to unit. This is normal.

12 V Trigger: When the Turn On Options switch is set to 12 V, the JCA100 is

turned on and off only with an external +9 V to +12 V DC voltage. When the

external 12 V signal ceases the amp will turn off within a few seconds. The 12 V

turn on trigger circuit is opto-coupled and draws a mere 5mA.
