Congratulations on your purchase of the Radial J-Rak. The J-Rak is a 19" rack adaptor

that has been designed to work with products like the Radial JDI, Radial J48 and the

many other Radial products that employ the same compact bookend design.

As with all Radial products, the J-Rak features heavy duty 14-gauge steel construction

and a baked enamel finish that should provide you with years of trouble free performance.

The J-Rak is also supported with the Radial 3-year warranty to protect against

manufacturing defects.

Operator’s Manual

Radial Engineering J-Rak Operator’s Manual

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Radial J-Rak is essentially an upside down shelf that has been designed to work with Radial

products such as the JDI and J48, allowing as many as eight of these to be rack-mounted in a

standard 19" rack system. The J-Rak requires 2 rack spaces (3 ½”).

The J-Rak was originally designed to allow touring companies to make better use of their DI box

inventory by allowing stand-alone units to be converted to rack mounted DIs for applications

such as keyboards and electronic drums. With the recent addition of the Radial JS-2 two-way and

JS-3 three-way mic splitters, it is now possible to create a variety of custom rack options for

touring, permanent installations or studio.

2. STANDARD EQUIPMENT

The J-Rak comes complete with the rack-shelf and eight

(8) insert sleeves. These resemble the book-end outer

shells that are common to all Radial compact direct boxes

and splitters. The difference being is that these shells

are slightly smaller and feature threaded screw holes to

fit the J-Rak.

The J-Rak itself features a series of wax pencil writing

ID strips to allow the engineer to assign and label the

eight channels. This simple feature makes channel

identification easy while also simplifying trouble

shooting on busy stages.

NOTE: Before writing on the ID strips, we suggest that you test a small section to make sure

that the pencil you are using will not react with the paint. Although most wax pencils and dry

erase pencils seem to work, some may mar the finish or be difficult to erase. As we are unable to

test all brands, we cannot assure all erasable markers will work.

3. SETTING THE J-RAK

To begin, remove the protective ‘book-end’ shells by

unscrewing the four (4) hex screws on each of the Radial

devices that you intend to rack mount.

All Radial products employ a standard hardened 6/32"

hex screws. Do not discard these screws as these are

used to reinstall the smaller outer shells that come with

your J-Rak.

True to the Music

The J-Rak is unique in that it allows one to install the

direct box or splitter module ‘frontward’ or ‘backward’

depending on the system designer’s need. Before you

bolt the new assembly into the J-Rak, take a moment to

think about how you will be connecting your gear. For

instance, when using the J-Rak with a keyboard rack, you

may find it best to have the ¼” jacks on the inside of the

rack to make hooking up to rack-mounted sound modules

and samplers easier.

To add even more versatility, you may order factory made

Radial rack-panels that act as extensions for front or rear

19" rack mounting. Please contact your Radial dealer for

more details.

When tightening, make sure you get a nice snug fit but

do not overtighten as this will only make removing the

device more difficult later on.

Installation is easy - slide the Radial module into place

and affix the modules to the J-Rak top shelf with the

supplied hex screws.

Install the smaller J-Rak shells. Be careful not to

strip the screws or pem-nuts. Note that the XLR

connection is always on the bottom.
