How do I reset the device to factory settings?

Press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds until the display shows 'Factory Reset'. Confirm with the Select button.

Why is there no sound from my speakers?

Check that the volume is turned up, the correct audio output is selected, and the speakers are powered on. Also verify that the source is playing.

Can I use a USB drive for music playback?

Yes, plug a USB drive formatted as FAT32 into the USB port on the rear. Navigate to 'USB' source using the remote or front panel.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the Joranalogue website, transfer it to a USB drive, insert it, and go to 'Settings' > 'Firmware Update'. Follow on-screen instructions.

The device keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi. What should I do?

Ensure the router is within range and try restarting both the player and router. You may also forget the network and reconnect.

Can I control the Transmit 2 with a mobile app?

Yes, download the 'Joranalogue Control' app from the App Store or Google Play. Ensure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi network.

What is the maximum output power?

The headphone output delivers 30 mW per channel into 32 ohms. The RCA outputs have a line level of 2 V RMS.

USER MANUAL Transmit 2 Joranalogue

Whether it's in the studio or on a live stage, keeping audio interconnections free from unwanted hum and interference can be a challenge. Balanced lines are the proven solution to this problem.

Conventional balanced output solutions often rely on transformers providing galvanic isolation to mitigate the effects of ground loops. Unfortunately, these components are bulky, expensive and colour the sound (often unfavourably, especially in the low end).

Instead, Transmit 2 (or TX2 for short) takes a fully solid-state approach. Offering a stereo pair of XLR balanced outputs, it ensures that the sonic clarity of your carefully planned modular system is not lost in its interface to the outside world.

Eengineered to provide massive headroom while retaining extremely low noise and distortion, Transmit 2's circuitry incorporates low-impedance design practices, radio-frequency (RF) filtering and premium balanced drivers to provide transformer-like interconnect performance in a compact and affordable module. And thanks to the electrostatic (ESD) and phantom power discharge protection, it's rugged enough to survive the rigours of performing on the road.

Adjusting the main output level is a breeze thanks to the dual peak-responding LED meters. A high-end headphone amplifier is included as well, controlled by a separate level knob. It can deliver the voltage and current required to power practically any headphones, regardless of the impedance or driver technology. This 3.5 mm stereo socket can function as an auxiliary stereo line output or even drive small passive speakers, making Transmit 2 an all-round flexible answer to all your output needs.

CONTENTS

In the Transmit 2 box, you'll find:

• Product card, stating serial number and production batch.
  ■ 16-to-10-pin Eurorack power cable.
• Mounting hardware: two black M3 x 6 mm hex screws, two black nylon washers and a hex key.
• And finally, the module itself, in a protective cotton bag.

If any of these items are missing, please contact your dealer or [e-mail].

CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS

1 LED METERS

The peak-responding LED bar meters give a visual indication of the output levels on the main XLR outputs. The scale ranges from -18 to +6 dB, with 0 dB corresponding to the +4 dBu nominal level common in professional audio systems.

2 HEADPHONES OUTPUT

Headphones can be plugged in here. Thanks to the extremely low output impedance and high current drive capability, Transmit 2 delivers outstanding performance driving a variety of headphones. This socket can also be used as an auxiliary stereo line output.

Take care not to plug in a mono cable, as this will short out the right channel. The headphone amplifier is short-circuit protected, so no damage will occur, but this will draw unnecessary current from the power supply.

Since the headphone amplifier is completely separated from the main XLR outputs, overloading it will not affect the main output signal integrity.

3 HEADPHONE LEVEL KNOB

Adjust the output level of the headphone amplifier using this knob. The range is -∞ to 0 dB (unity gain), so high-impedance headphones, which require relatively high voltage levels, can be driven with ease.

CAUTION: listening at high sound pressure levels (SPLs) for extended time can cause permanent hearing damage!

Always start listening with the level knob set to minimum, and slowly turn it up until you reach a comfortable level. The loudness range of the knob will vary greatly depending on the impedance and sensitivity of the headphones used.

4 SIGNAL INPUTS

Connect the signals you want to send to the outside world here. Note that the inputs are AC-coupled, so any DC offset that may be present is removed.

If only the left input socket is used, its signal is sent to the right as well. In this configuration, you have two identical mono outputs which can be sent to different devices. The same signal will also be heard in both channels of the headphones.

5 MAIN LEVEL KNOB

This knob is used to set the level for both XLR outputs. The range is - to +6 dB. With standard 10 V_pp input signals, it will typically be set near the centre position to reach +4 dBu.

6 EXTERNAL OUTPUTS

These are the main balanced outputs. Make sure to connect them to line inputs: dedicated microphone inputs may also use XLR sockets, but typically have too much gain to accept line level signals.

Transmit 2 can also drive single-ended inputs if needed, for example when using XLR to mono jack cables. It will do so without the 6 dB level drop you normally get when driving a single-ended input from a balanced source, although you lose the benefits of a balanced interconnection and 6 dB of headroom.

Transmit 2 features separate signal and chassis ground planes, joined together at the front panel. This helps to avoid ground currents running through the circuitry and causing audible interference, provided the module is installed in a Eurorack enclosure which is properly earth-connected at its chassis.

In sub-optimal installations, shorting together the ground planes on the rear of the circuit board at the 'ground short' solder bridge point may improve performance.
