- Level for output control.
CHANNELS 2 and 3 feature shared L+R type RCA inputs with an RTS connector for greater
connection exibility.
The T 0302 FX MULTICOLOR features 3 input channels, CHANNEL 1 is balanced with two
shared connections, one XLR and one RTS. This is a high-sensitivity, wide-gain input, which
allows the use of a Microphone or LINE IN.
All 3 inputs have independent controls for:
The T 0302 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 features a 4-band equalizer that allows you to increase or reduce specic ranges of mid-bass
and highs, allowing for a 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.
- Gain for adjusting the input signal level.
- 4 EQ controls HIGH, MID HIGH. MID LOW and LOW with ±15dB boost/attenuation.
The 2 outputs have great amplitude and can deliver up to +18dBu or 6.3Vac of distortion-free
signal.
In order to avoid noise captation, use good quality
shielded signal cables and connectors.
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.
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:
As protection, a fuse must be installed close to the positive
pole of the battery (1A fuse). check for more details on
pag. 09 of this manual. For the REMOTE connection, use
0.5 mm² wire.

Functions 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 or 3) 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.
Red LED shows channel input saturation or MUTE button pressed.
Green LED indicates that the channel is receiving signal at its input.
LED INDICATORS
Indicates the level of the output signal.
Controls the signal level at the outputs.
Inverts the signal phase of the AUX OUT channel by 180°
Adjusts the audio output level at AUX OUT
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.
ECHO FX
Regulates the amount of effect that will be applied to the
channel. Being 0, no effect and 10, maximum effect.

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:
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.
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.
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
VU-METER next to MAIN LEVEL.

Power and activation
Installation
Connection that turns on or off automatically from a remote cable from a CD/DVD player. Use 0.5 mm²
cable.
Note: if the ON/OFF button is pressed, the device will not turn off by remote activation.
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 T 0302 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.
The REMOTE OUT connection can be used for powering amplifiers and is timed to minimize transients
when turning the system on and off.
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.
Turns on the sound mixer 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.
