JK Audio RemoteAmp Overview

The JK Audio RemoteAmp is a battery-powered personal amplifier that can be used as an IFB (Interruptible Fold-Back) earpiece or headphone amplifier, or as an on-stage monitor headphone amplifier. The 1W amplifier provides sufficient power to cut through surrounding noise without distortion.

The amplifier can be clipped to a belt and accepts, via an XLR or 3.5mm connector, a mono input from a mixer, distribution amplifier, telephone line hybrid, or a handset interface like JK Audio's QuickTap IFB. A separate power switch allows the user to set and leave the volume control at a comfortable level. The 3.5mm earpiece jack is current-limited to prevent excessive signals.

  • Compatible with TW (Two-Wire) party-line intercoms (listen-only)         
  • XLR line-level input         
  • 3.5mm stereo line input jack

I got this today and it works great with my cell phone, it even came with a 3.5mm to 3.5 mm cable for cellular use...I was surprised..also do yourself a favor..install the gain jumpers as stated in the directions..it will give you more audio on a noisy day. HTH

Simple and solid

I had to replace my ageing Prospect amplifier after it failed to work during a live shot. The Prospect company no longer exists, so I was in a bit of a spot, but the JK ampflier was recommended by a colleague. I can only pass on that recommendation: solidly built, a neat little recessed on/off switch is exactly what I want, a battery-level light that shines bright (I always found the Prospect battery-level light to be rather ambiguous), and a big fat audio-level knob that even the most naive journalist can master! I love it!

question

how long does the 9 volt run this unit?
Asked by: Anonymous
I've never done a controlled test, but we've used these for several years and I'm perfectly happy with the battery life. I think they'll last as long as in any other basic IFB box.
