Presentation

The T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR 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 MP3/WMA player, Bluetooth and FM built-in with long range 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. 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 a total of 78 variable lighting eﬀects, causing a diﬀerent visual eﬀect for the user. See pages 08 and 09.
The T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR has 6 input channels. The Channel 1 and 2 are 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 3, 4, 5 and 6 CHANNELS have shared RCA-type L+R inputs with a RTS type connector for greater connection ?exibility. Built-in Player unit shares channel 6.

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 6.3Vac of distortion-free signal.

Important recommendations

$TARAMPS-T-0602-Car-Sound-Mixer-FIG- $2$$

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 (2A 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 2 Amperes fuse on the positive supply terminal.

Functions

$TARAMPS-T-0602-Car-Sound-Mixer-FIG- $7$$

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 byup to 15dB
ECHO
FX Adjusts the amount of effect that will be applied to the channel. O being no effect and 10 being maximum effect.
LEVEL CHANNELS
Adjusts the audio level of the channel (channel 1.2,3,4,5 or 6) 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.

ECHO FX

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.

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.

On / Off

ON/OFF: Turns the T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR 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.

To sync a new remote, follow the instructions:

Make sure the T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR is working.
With the T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR OFF, press and hold the ON/OFF key for 10 seconds.
The key will alternately flash blue and red, indicating the synchronization mode between the mixer and the long-distance remote control.
On the long-distance control, press the synchronism keys and simultaneously until the ON/OFF key goes off (check if the long-distance control is compatible*).
If it doesn’t go off, bring the long-distance control closer to the T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR with the synchronization keys and pressed until the synchronization is done and the ON/OFF key goes off.

The T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR only works with a TARAMPS long-distance control operating at a frequency of 433.5MHz, FSK modulation with its own encryption.
All TLC3000 and Connect Control manufactured from 03/2014 to today’s date are compatible with Player tables.

RGB effects

The T 0302 FX MULTICOLOR sound mixer has several lighting effects that can be chosen by the user. There are two operating modes that alternate depending on the state of the table:

STANDBY MODE: activated when there is no audio output for 10 seconds. At this moment, the RGB EFFECTS button will set the lighting effect to standby mode.

AUDIO MODE: activated when there is an audio signal output from the table. At this moment,the RGB EFFECTS button will configure the lighting effect for audio mode.

NOTE: VU-METER effects are only available in AUDIO MODE. This effect works with the output audio level and serves only as a lighting effect. For greater output level accuracy, use the LED VUMETER next to MAIN LEVEL.

Installation

Power and activation

$TARAMPS-T-0602-Car-Sound-Mixer-FIG- $22$$

The T 0602 PLAYER FX MULTICOLOR 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
Electrical connection that automatically turns on or off from a remote cable from a CD/MP3 player. Use 0.5 mm² gauge cable. Note: if the ON/OFF button is pressed, the device will not turn off via 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 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.

ANTENA DO CONTROLE REMOTO DE LONGA DISTÂNCIA 05
Keep the antenna taut for better reception. Do not cut or connect to earth or power supply as this may damage the device.
