Presentation
The T 0602 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 4-band equalizer that allows you to increase or decrease speci c
ranges of bass, midbass, 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 97
variable lighting effects + random mode effects, causing a different visual
effect for the user. See pages 07 and 08.
The T 0602 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
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 (2A fuse). check for
more details on pag. 16 of this manual. For the
RGB EFFECTS
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.

Controls
Adjusts the input signal level. It must be used in case of input saturation, signaled by the CLIP LEDs.
Increases or reduces treble by up to ±15dB
Increases or reduces mid-high by up to ±15dB
Increases or reduces mid-low by up to ±15dB
Increases or reduces low by up to ±15dB
Adjusts the audio level of the channel (channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) that will
be mixed at the outputs.
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.
RGB EFFECTS

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
01 02 03 04
The T 0602 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
theTERMINAL/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.
ON/OFF BUTTON
04
Turns on the device 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.
