Presentation

The T 0302 Player 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 has a convenient of an MP3/WMA player, Bluetooth and FM built-in with long-distance remote control.
The Player accepts USB DRIVE up to 64GB size, containing MP3 and WMA audio ?les until 320Kbps bit rate (high quality).. Its Bluetooth has the 4.0 version and operates under SBC/A2DP protocol.
It has a 4-band equalizer that allows you to increase or decrease speci?c ranges of bass, mid-bass, mid-high and treble, allowing professional control in any situation. Its outputs with timed MUTE avoid undesirable noises (Pops) when turned on or oﬀ, dispensing with the sequencing of activations, facilitating installation.
The T 0302 Player has 3 input channels. The Channel 1 is balanced and have 2 input connectors: one XLR and other RTS type. It has a wide gain range, allowing microphones or LINE signal level.
The 2 and 3 CHANNELS are unbalanced and have 2 input connector: one L+R mixed RCA type and a mono RTS type.

All 3 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:

Borne + on the battery positive
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.

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, 2 or 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 Red LED shows channel input saturation or MUTE button pressed. Green LED indicates that the channel is receiving 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.

Functions ON/OFF: Turns the T 0302 Player on or off. When the mixer is on, this key lights up in blue. This key is also used to synchronize the long-distance remote control, allowing the use of up to 3 controls simultaneously.

Installation

Power and activation

The T 0302 Player 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.
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 100mA. 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

CAUTION
Check power polarity and recommended gauge.
it is recommended to install a 1 Ampere fuse on the positive supply terminal.

FM ANTENNA 04
Indoor wire antenna for FM radio reception. Position the wire antenna in order to achieve the best FM reception.
