AUSTRALIAN MONITOR TX6000 User manual

6 Channel Mic/Line Mixer
TX6000
Description
The TX6000 is a high specification, single rack space, 6 channel mic/line mixer suitable for desk or
rack mounting. The mixer is designed to operate from both AC mains power as well as 24 volts DC.
Inputs
Six dual mic/line inputs are provided. The mic inputs are active balanced and feature 3 pin XLR
female sockets. Each channel also includes dual female RCA line/aux sockets.
Outputs
The TX6000 features a balanced line output via a 3 pin XLR male socket. A mono tape output
is also available via dual female RCA sockets. A 1/4” mono headphone socket is included on the
front panel.
Controls
Front panel controls include a master output level control plus overall bass and treble controls.
Individual channel level controls are provided for all six inputs.
VCA Control
The master volume can be controlled remotely. External VCA control would normally be via a pot
connected to a two wire rear panel barrier strip.
Metering
A 7 segment LED meter is provided for the master output. A power “on” LED is also included.
Muting
Muting is available via the optional VOX operated plug-in TX3010 or TX3014 precedence cards.
The TX3010 provides priority from channel 1 over all other channels. The TX3014 provides two lev-
els of priority. Channel 1 is the master mute channel and overrides channels 2-6, whereas channels
2 will mute channels 3-6 only.
Tone Generators
The ATC5488 is an optional plug-in accessory providing 4 tones (Bell, Pre-Announce Chime, Alert
and Evacuate). The ATC5488 plugs into the main board via a 7 pin connector. Activation wires can
be fed through a rear panel slot below the 24V DC connector. Each tone can be activated by a sim-
ple contact closure.
Phantom Power
Phantom power (18V DC) is provided on all mic inputs.
