AUSTRALIAN MONITOR TX8202 User manual

8 Channel Stereo Mic/Line
Mixer with Direct Outputs
TX8202
Description
The TX8202 is a high performance 8 channel stereo mixer suitable for desk or rack mounting.
Inputs and Outputs
The TX8202 has four active balanced mic/line inputs and four stereo line inputs. Each channel
features recessed treble, bass and pan controls. Mic/Line level can be adjusted per channel via a
dip switch. All mic and line input connections are via 3 pin XLR female sockets, and all stereo line
input connections are via dual female RCA sockets. Both the Left and Right outputs are balanced
and feature 3 pin male XLR sockets. A stereo tape output using dual female RCA sockets is also
provided. A ¼” stereo headphone socket is included on the front panel. The rear panel includes a
terminal block for activation of the optional Tone Generator. The first four channels feature a line
level direct output which can be used to feed additional amplifiers, mixers or recording devices.
An internal jumper allows the first four inputs to be removed from the master left/right outputs
whilst still retaining their direct output function.
Controls and Metering
Front panel controls include Master Left and Right Outputs plus individual channel level controls.
Each channel also features a recessed, screwdriver adjustable treble, bass and pan control.
A four position dip switch (mic/line, phantom power, routing) is provided for the first four channels.
A 7 segment LED meter is provided for both the Left and Right Outputs. A power “on” orange LED
is part of the LED meter. An optional remote master VCA is available for remote master volume
control.
VCA Control
The optional VCA control module (AMVCA) allows the master volume to be remotely controlled.
External VCA control would normally be via potentiometer connected to a two wire rear panel
barrier strip.
Muting
Muting is standard on the unit for channels one and two. Both channels have equal priority and
will mute channels 3-8 when signal is present. The muting function can be disabled by moving
an internal jumper.
Tone Generators
Bell, Pre-Announce Chime, Evacuate and Alert are included in the unit. Each tone can be
activated by a simple contact closure using the rear panel terminal block.
Phantom Power
Phantom Power (15V DC) is available on all mic inputs and can be disabled if required via a
dip switch.
Accessories
AM Tone1 – This module provides simple 4 tone generation for the MX series mixers.
Tones available are alert, evac, pre-announce, and bell.
AM Tone – This module allows for high quality pre-announce, bell, alert, evac, tones,
to be generated on board the MX series mixers.
AM VCA – This module allows for a remote master volume control to be used with the
MX series mixers.

balanced and feature 3 pin female XLR sockets. The stereo line channels shall have dual female RCA
sockets. Each channel shall include tamper resistant treble, bass, and pan controls. The first four channels
feature a line level direct output which can be used to feed additional amplifiers, mixers or recording
devices. An internal jumper shall allow the first four inputs to be removed from the master left/right outputs
whilst still retaining their direct output function. The equalisation per channel shall provide 12dB cut or
boost at 100Hz and 10dB cut or boost at 10kHz. The master section shall include individual level controls
for both the Left and Right outputs and shall also include two 7 segment output level LED meters. The
master outputs shall be balanced 3 pin XLR male sockets, and dual RCA female sockets for the stereo
tape output. A ¼” stereo headphone socket shall be included for monitoring. The mixer shall include on
board muting card, as well as a option for 4 tone generator modules and remote master VCA control.
