Radial JS-2™ and JS-3™ MIC SPLITTERS
JS-2 Order No. R800 1022 | JS-3 Order No. R800 1023
Product Overview
The Radial JS-2 and JS-3 are Jensen transformer-equipped mic splitters that allow a balanced source to drive multiple destinations via standard XLR connectors. These passive devices feature a premium nickel laminated core transformer for exceptionally low harmonic distortion without the usual phase shift caused by lesser steel core transformers.
The JS-2 and JS-3 offer the undisputed benefit of 100% transformer isolation with better than -90dB common-mode noise rejection (CMR), thus eliminating troublesome hum & buzz caused by stray voltage and ground loops. These 'problem-solvers' offer a simple yet highly effective interface for microphones or direct boxes, and with the addition of the -30dB pad, consumer and line-level devices may be employed without distortion or fear of overload due to saturation.
The Radial JS-2 and JS-3 mic splitters feature a rugged 14 gauge steel construction for maximum durability. Up to 8 units may be rackmounted in 2RU using the Radial J-Rak. The Radial JS-2 and JS-3 mic splitters are easy to use, flexible and sound great!

Radial JS-2 - 2-Way Microphone Splitting
The Radial JS-2 is a 2-way microphone splitter. The diagram shows a single input XLR connector, a direct output XLR connector, and an isolated output XLR connector, illustrating its 2-way splitting capability.
Radial JS-3 - 3-Way Microphone Splitting
The Radial JS-3 is a 3-way microphone splitter. The diagram shows a single input XLR connector, a direct output XLR connector, and two isolated output XLR connectors, illustrating its 3-way splitting capability.
Key Components and Features
INPUT PAD
Reduces input by 30dB to allow +4dB line-level devices to be connected.
MIC INPUT
Standard 600Ω main input.
DIRECT THRU-1
600Ω. Connects to main PA with phantom-power return path to microphone.
FULL BOTTOM PAD
Improves electrical isolation and keeps the unit in one place.
DIRECT THRU-2
600Ω. Second direct out can connect to recording or monitor systems. On the JS-3 this output is transformer-isolated.
ISOLATED OUTPUT
600Ω. Connects to a recording or broadcast system without noise.
GROUND LIFT
On outputs can eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops.
JENSEN Audio Transformers
Jensen audio transformers provide 100% isolation to eliminate noise caused by ground loops, and they sound great!
HEAVY-DUTY WELDED I-BEAM
Enclosure of 14 gauge steel makes it impossible to torque the PC board. Eliminates cold solder joints.
RUGGED XLR Connectors
Rugged XLR connectors are glass-filled nylon and eliminate chassis ground potential for 100% electrical isolation.
MU-METAL SHIELD
Mu-metal shield for protection against radio frequency and electromagnet interference.
MILITARY-GRADE PC Board
Military-grade PC board inside with full ground plane to reduce susceptibility to RF noise.
