• 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 installing it far from the fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources and other parts of the vehicle.
• Be sure to install a protection fuse or a circuit breaker near to battery. Follow the ampere rating as indicated here in this manual. Use of an improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheating, smoke, damage to the product, injury or burns.
• Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through the car’s body.

Safety

• As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.
• This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of
• CAUTION important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in a risk of injury to user or product damage.
• Taramps reserves the right to modify the contents of this document at any time without prior notice and does not have the obligation to apply the changes in units that were previously produced.

Presentation

• The T 0602 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 professional control in any situation. Its outputs with timed MUTE avoid undesired noises (Pops) when turned on or off, making the sequence of activations unnecessary, and easing installation.
• The T0602 features 6 input channels, CHANNEL 2 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 3,4,5 and 6 feature shared L+R type RCA inputs with an RTS connector for greater connection flexibility.

All 6 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 6.3 Vac of distortion-free signal.

Important recommendations

Use the P4 adapter with the terminal that comes with the product to connect the power wires to the vehicle’s 12V battery. Use 1.5mm? 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 e 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 a page. 16 of this manual. For the REMOTE connection, use 0.5 mm. 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 caption, 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 0602 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 2 3

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 Land 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, signalled by the CLIP LEDs.
• HIGH Increases or reduces treble by up to 15 dB
• [MID HIGH Increases or reduces mid-high by up to #15dB
• MID LOW Increases or reduces mid-low by up to ‡15dB
• LOW Increases reduces Low by up to 15 dB
• LEVEL CHANNELS Adjust the audio level of the channel (channel 1, 2or 3) 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

• The red LED shows channel input saturation or the MUTE button pressed.
• Green LED indicates that the channel is receiving a signal at its input.
• [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 0602 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 1)

• Connection that turns on or off automatically from a remote cable from a CD/DVD player. Use 0.5 mm 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 mm’ 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 1.5mm 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.
