Safety requirements

To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the car sound mixer. It is specially important that you know the CAUTIONS contained here.
**** The installation of this product must be done by a qualified professional.

• Use the correct tools for installing this – This product is for use with 12V batteries. Always check the voltage before installing.
• Never install the product in places exposed to dust, humidity and water. Pay attention to install it far from fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources and other parts of
• Be sure to install protection fuse or a circuit braker near to Follow the ampere rating as indicated here in this manual. Use of improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheat, smoke, damage to product, injury or burns.
• Avoid running wires over or through sharp Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through car’s body.
• Automotive sound systems may produce high sound pressure Avoid continuous exposure to levels over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss.

Safety

As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.

Presentation

The T 0302 FX mixer was designed for sound systems allowing the mixing of several types of audio signals with high fidelity, ensuring the original dynamics of the sound. It features a 4- band equalizer that allows you to increase or reduce specific ranges of mid-bass and highs, allowing for a professional control in any situation. It also has the Echo FX feature, which allows you to add the Echo effect to your songs or voice. Its outputs with timed MUTE avoid undesirable noises (Pops) when turned on or off, dispensing with the sequencing of activations, facilitating installation.

With background lighting effect (backlight), causing a very cool appearance for the user. Available in 3 versions: Red, blue or yellow.
The T 0302 FX features 3 input channels, CHANNEL 1 is balanced with two shared connections, one XLR and one RTS. This is a high-sensitivity, wide-gain input, which allows the use of a Microphone or LINE IN.
CHANNELS 2 and 3 feature shared L+R type RCA inputs with an RTS connector for greater connection flexibility.
All 3 inputs have independent controls for:

• Gain for adjusting the input signal
• 4 EQ controls HIGH, MID MID LOW and LOW with ±15dB boost/attenuation.
• Level for output The 2 outputs have great amplitude and can deliver up to +18dBu or 6.3Vac of distortion-free signal.

Important recommendations

Use the P4 adapter with terminal that comes with the product to connect the power wires to the vehicle’s 12V battery. Use 1.5mm² gauge wires for both the positive and negative wires. Screw the wires according to the following instruction:
1- Borne  on the battery positive 2 – Borne on the battery negative.
As protection, a fuse must be installed close to the positive pole of the battery (1A fuse). check for more details on pag. 16 of this manual. For the REMOTE connection, use0.5 mm² wire.
The sound mixer must be fixed in an easily accessible and ventilated place. It is not recommended to install the product on the sides of speakers, as vibrations can damage their internal components.
In order to avoid noise captation, use good quality shielded signal cables and connectors

Product overview

On this page you have an overview of the T 0302 FX sound mixer, you will better understand the commands on the next page. To be able to use all the product commands, carefully read all the commands below.
Install the mixer in an easily accessible place and, if fixing is necessary, use the 4 screwing holes to avoid possible vibrations.

Connections

MIC / LINE 1

Balanced inputs for XLR (Canon) and TRS connectors. ATTENTION: these inputs DO NOT HAVE PHANTON POWER.

LINE 23

Unbalanced inputs Inputs for RCA or (TRS 1/4”) connector. They allow you to receive signals from several types of sound gear such as CD/DVD/MP3-player, audio processors, etc… with high level outputs.

AUX OUT

It features an RCA connector in parallel with a connector for TRS. This output mixes all input signals, including L and R.
This output features a phase inversion button and independent level control, but it also responds to the MAIN LEVEL control.

MAIN OUT

It features an RCA connector in parallel with a connector for TRS. This output mixes all input channels, including R and L.

Functions

ECHO FX: The TIME control increases the time between repetitions, ranging

from approximately 50ms to 350ms. The REPEAT control increases the number of repetitions from 1 (minimum) to 12, with exponential attenuation.
In a practical way, the TIME control can be compared to the size of an echo room. For a larger room, the sound takes more time to reflect on the walls. For smaller rooms the reflection time is short, some times difficult to realise. The REPEAT control can be compared to the type of wall coating material. Soft material absorbs more sound energy, creanting less echo repetition. Hard material reflects more effectively the sound creating more sound reflection.

Installation

Power and activation

The T 0302 FX was designed to be used in car audio systems with a 12V battery, but it can also be used with an external 12V plug adapter with a current of at least 2A, which must be purchased separately (in this case, the consumer should pay attention to the adapter plug that should be standard P4-2mm) . It has an ON/OFF button that eliminates the REMOTE IN connections.
It can automatically turn on and off by remote activation using the REMOTE IN connection. To do so, keep the ON/OFF key off (unpressed).
The REMOTE OUT connection can be used for powering amplifiers and is timed to minimize transients when turning the system on and off

REMOTE IN 01

Connection that turns on or off automatically from a remote cable from a CD/DVD player. Use 0.5 mm² cable.
Note: if the ON/OFF button is pressed, the device will not turn off by remote activation.

REMOTE OUT 02

Output for activating other devices. It can be used to turn on amplifiers or other equipment as long as they have a remote input. This output is current limited and not suitable for currents greater than 350mA. Use 0.5 mm² or higher gauge cables.

12V POWER SUPPLY 03

Standard P4 /12V 2mm power connector. Use the TERMINAL/P4 adapter that comes with the product or a 12V adapter source (adapter source doens’t come with the product).
Use a 0.75mm² cable for the connections and use a 1A fuse on the positive wire as close as possible to the battery , following the marking on the TERMINAL/P4 adapter:to the battery’s 12V positive terminal. to the battery’s negative terminal

POWER ON/OFF

Turns   on   the   sound   mixer   regardless   of   the   REMOTE   IN signal   when   pressed. If the REMOTE IN input is active (remote on) this button will not turn off the device until the REMOTE IN input is deactivated.
