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 product.
- 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 vehicle. – Be sure to install protection fuse or a circuit braker near to battery. 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 edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through car’s body.
- Automotive sound systems may produce high sound pressure levels. Avoid continuous exposure to levels over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss.

As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.
CAUTION
This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in risk
of injury to user or product damage.

Presentation
The T 0202 mixer was designed for sound systems allowing the mixing of several
types of audio signals with high delity, ensuring the original dynamics of the
sound. It features a 4band equalizer that allows you to increase or reduce
speci c ranges of mid-bass and highs, allowing for a professional control in
any situation. Its outputs with timed MUTE avoid undesired noises (Pops) when
turned on or off, making the sequence of activations unecessary, and easing
installation.
The T 0202 features 2 input channels, with two shared connections, one RCA and
one RTS. This is a high-sensitivity, wide-gain input, which allows the use of
a Microphone or LINE IN.
CHANNELS 1 and 2 feature shared L+R type RCA inputs with an RTS connector for
greater connection exibility.
All 2 inputs have independent controls for: – Gain for adjusting the input
signal level. – 4 EQ controls HIGH, MID HIGH. MID LOW and LOW with ±15dB
boost/attenuation. – Level for output control. 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, use 0.5 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.
CAUTION
Check power polarity and recommended gauge. it is recommended to install a
1 Ampere fuse on the positive supply terminal.
Product overview
On this page you have an overview of the T 0202 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
IN – Inputs
LINE
Inputs for RCA connectors. Allow to receive signals from various sound
equipment, such as head unit, audio processor, etc… with high level output.
LINE / MIC
Inputs for connectors RCA or P10 (TRS 1/4”). They allow you to receive signals
from various sound equipment, but with a gain range suitable for MICROPHONES.
These inputs DO NOT HAVE PHANTOM POWER.
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
Controls
GAIN
Adjusts the input signal level. It must be used in case of input saturation,
signaled by the CLIP LEDs.
HIGH
Increases or reduces treble by up to ±15dB
MID HIGH
Increases or reduces mid-high by up to ±15dB
MID LOW
Increases or reduces mid-low by up to ±15dB
LOW
Increases or reduces Low by up to ±15dB
LEVEL CHANNELS
Adjusts the audio level of the channel (channel 1 or 2 ) that will be mixed at
the outputs.
MUTE
Mutes the channel mixing at the outputs. It is useful for quick channel
cutting without changing the gain settings. When activated, the red CLIP LED
will light regardless of the input signal level.
LED INDICATORS
Red LED shows channel input saturation or MUTE button pressed. Green LED
indicates that the channel is receiving signal at its input.
Inverts the signal phase of the AUX OUT channel by 180° Adjusts the audio
output level at AUX OUT Indicates the level of the output signal. Controls the
signal level at the outputs.
PHASE
Inverts the signal phase of the AUX OUT channel by 180°
AUX LEVEL
Adjusts the audio output level at AUX OUT
VU-METER
Indicates the level of the output signal.
MAIN LEVEL
Controls the signal level at the outputs.
Installation
Power and activation
The T 0202 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 head
unit. 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 the screw-on connector that comes with the product and a 0.5 mm² cable
sold separately.
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 1.5mm² 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
CAUTION
Check power polarity and recommended gauge.
it is recommended to install a 1 Ampere fuse on the positive supply terminal.
POWER ON/OFF 04
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.
