Operation (continued)
1/4” Cue Input / Wireless Interface
The RemoteMix Sport includes a 1/4” Cue Input that feeds only the
headphones. Connect any 50 ohm output to this jack, such as the
headphone out from your personal audio player. This signal does
not reach the XLR output.
This same 1/4” jack is also an interface for your wireless tele-
phone. By using the special 1/4” - 2.5 mm cable provided with your
unit, you can interface to most wireless telephones that accept
third party earpiece / headsets. This 1/4” - 2.5 mm cable is not sim-
ply an adapter cable and should not be used with other equipment.
The wiring configuration is different from other TRS to TRS cables.
The “tip” and “ring” portions of this cable are reversed in order for
the interface to work properly. Possible damage to your equipment
could result from misuse of this cable.
Headphones
The built-in headphone amplifier is strong enough to power three
pairs of headphones or a small desktop speaker. The left and right
channels contain the same mono signal, but are powered by
separate amplifier channels. These jacks will drive either three 1/4"
stereo plugs or three 1/4" mono plugs.
XLR Output
This fixed level male XLR output also includes a switch for Phone
Mix or Mic Mix. If you are using the 1/4” cue input / wireless inter-
face for your telephone connection, the far side of the call will not
be present on the XLR output. To obtain a signal containing both
sides of the conversation while using this setup, one of the 1/4”
headphone jacks must be used.

FAQs
? Why doesn't my RemoteMix Sport ring when a call comes in?
! The audible ringer found on other RemoteMix units was replaced
with a visual ring indicator on the RemoteMix Sport. It is a red LED
that flashes when a call comes in. The indicator is located next to
the keypad toggle switch on the volume control panel.
? Will your RemoteMix Sport provide phantom power for my
condenser microphone?
! No, our devices will not provide phantom power. If you are connect-
ing your microphone directly to a JK Audio RemoteMix, you should
use a dynamic mic.
? How do I adjust the level of the balanced output on the Re-
moteMix Sport?
! The Balanced XLR output of the RemoteMix Sport is a fixed line
level output. If needed you should adjust the audio level at the input
of the device you are sending audio to.
? I've lost my power supply for my RemoteMix Sport unit. I have
another power supply that fits from a different product. Can I
use this instead?
! NO! Never use a power supply other than the one that was sup-
plied by your manufacturer. Power supplies are available in either
AC or DC output with many combinations of voltage and available
current. DC supplies carry either positive or negative center pin
output and may or may not be "regulated". If you connect a nega-
tive center pin power supply to a positive center pin jack, it's just
like hooking up the battery cables to your car backwards. Obviously
you would not want to do this to your car or your expensive audio
equipment. "Regulation" is the tolerance to the specified voltage of
your DC power supply. All of our DC power supplies have a low
noise 5% tolerance. This means that our 9V DC power supplies will
always output 9 volts +/- 5%, whether you are using no power at all
or applying a full load. Most consumer power supplies are not regu-
lated. A non-regulated 9V, 800mA power supply could actually out-
put 16V until an 800 mA load is applied. This could invariably dam-
age your equipment, and also create a great deal of noise. There is
also no standard for the size of your power jack. This means that a
16VAC power supply and a 1.5VDC power supply could both have
the same 2.1mm jack.
