Simple, Effective Dante Connection

The Turtle AV JEF is a single-channel, remotely controllable mic preamp engineered for boardrooms, stadiums, and broadcast environments. Sweetwater A/V experts are quick to point out JEF's dual power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, which, in addition to providing superior cable security courtesy of etherCON connectors, also provide both primary and secondary Dante network and power redundancy. The JEF also enables you to dial in your preferred sensitivity and fine-tune your sounds before they even reach the network, thanks to its onboard digital signal processing (DSP), featuring an 8-band parametric EQ, five filters, a compressor, and an expander. Whether you're incorporating JEF into a sideline reporting rig or lecture hall A/V system, you can expect low noise operation, exceptional signal processing, and seamless integration, further supported by Turtle AV's 5-year warranty.

Network and power redundancy on one device

Featuring both Primary and Secondary PoE connection ports with Dante, the JEF truly punches above its weight and form factor. A rarity in models of this size, the JEF's dual ports allow you to build redundancy into your workflow and provide a failsafe against interrupted audio transport

Reliable remote control

JEF is remotely controllable via Turtle AV's intuitive WEBUI or by your existing control system via Turtle AV's open API. Here, you'll also be able to adjust gain, sensitivity, and the onboard DSP. To ensure pristine audio, a host of advanced processing tools, including an 8-band EQ, five filters, a compressor, and an expander, are available to fine-tune your sounds before they even reach the network.

TAA compliant and built to last

Turtle AV backs the JEF with a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase with advance replacement. Audio installations in government buildings, stadiums, broadcast environments, and universities tend to be complex, and downtime can be very costly. This is why Turtle AV manufactures JEF with aircraft-grade aluminum and is committed to providing you with top-quality audio-visual products and support. Lastly, JEF is TAA-compliant, meaning that it adheres to strict ethical sourcing and manufacturing regulations and can be used in federal contracts.
