FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - TX6000 AUSTRALIAN MONITOR

Comment régler les niveaux d'entrée sur le TX6000 ?

Utilisez les commandes de gain marquées Ch 1 à Ch 6. Commencez à 0 et tournez lentement dans le sens horaire jusqu'à obtenir le niveau souhaité. Évitez de pousser les canaux à fond si le master est bas.

Puis-je utiliser une platine CD sur le TX6000 ?

Oui, connectez la platine CD aux entrées RCA du canal 6, conçu pour accepter des niveaux élevés. Les entrées stéréo sont sommées en mono.

Comment activer l'alimentation fantôme ?

Par défaut, l'alimentation fantôme +18 V est activée. Pour la désactiver, ouvrez le boîtier et déplacez le cavalier sur la carte de sortie (position X4). Seul un technicien qualifié doit effectuer cette opération.

Le TX6000 peut-il être monté en rack ?

Oui, il occupe 1U (44 mm) et une largeur standard de 482 mm. Retirez les pieds en caoutchouc pour un montage en rack. Utilisez des vis de fixation appropriées.

Comment utiliser la commande de volume à distance ?

Connectez un potentiomètre externe de 500 kΩ au connecteur euro bloc 2 fils à l'arrière. La résistance externe limite le volume maximum défini par le master avant.

Pourquoi le voyant rouge du VU-mètre s'allume-t-il ?

Si les LED rouges s'allument constamment, le mixeur est surchargé (distorsion). Réduisez les niveaux d'entrée ou le master jusqu'à ce que les LED restent dans la zone verte.

Quel type de casque puis-je utiliser avec la sortie casque ?

La sortie casque est un jack 6,35 mm avec un niveau nominal de 3,5 V sous 600 ohms. Utilisez un casque avec une impédance d'au moins 32 ohms pour un volume suffisant.

Comment brancher une alimentation externe 24 V ?

Operating Manual

TX6000, 6 Channel Mic/Line Mixer

Product Description

The TX6000 is a 6 channel audio mixer that operates from 115VAC@ 60 Hz or 24 VDC via an external battery supply. The TX6000 is 1 standard rack unit high (44mm) and has a standard rack width of 482mm . For table mounting, rubber feet are supplied but these can be removed if rack mounting is intended. Six dual purpose inputs consisting of XLR balanced mic inputs and dual RCA aux/line level inputs are included. Channel 6 has a less sensitive aux/line level input to enable it to accept a CD player or similar high level inputs. The TX6000 also features a remote VCA for the Master Volume.

Front Panel Features

Input Level Controls

The 6 dual mic/line input controls are marked Ch 1 through Ch 6 and should be adjusted to provide the required mix level for each individual channel. Start with the controls set to level 0 and turn the controls slowly clockwise until the desired mix for each channel is obtained.

Bass Control

The Bass control is part of a 2 band equalisation system within the TX6000. The Bass control allows the user to increase or decrease the amount of bass in the system. The control allows for 12dB of cut or boost at 100Hz . If no bass cut or boost is required, the control should be left in the centre (0) position.

Treble Control

The Treble control is part of a 2 band equalisation system within the TX6000. The Treble control allows the user to increase or decrease the amount of treble in the system. The control allows for 9dB of cut or boost at 10kHz . Generally, a small increase of the treble control makes a system sound 'brighter'. If no treble cut or boost is required, the control should be left in the centre (0) position.

Master Control

The master control sets the overall output level of the TX6000. It is used in conjunction with the input level controls. When setting up levels, please ensure that proper gain structure practices are followed. In other words, it is not advisable to run the input channels at 10 and the output level at 1. Instead, aim to keep all of the input controls and the master control at around the same level.

Headphone Output Socket

A 1/4 ” (6.35mm) socket is provided for the connection of monitor headphones. The output level to the headphones is a nominal 3.5 volts @ 600 ohms and is connected before the master output level control so adjusting the output level control will not effect the headphone output level.

Power Switch & "On" LED

The black rocker switch on the right hand side of the front panel is used to switch the mixer on and off. The 'up' position is on. When the amplifier is connected to an appropriate AC power source and is switched on, the blue "on" LED (located on the left side of the LED display) will illuminate.

LED Display VU Meter

The first LED indicates whether the unit is switched on. The remainder of the LED display is set in decibel graduations from -21 dB to +3 dB and indicates the level at the output of the mixer. For normal operation the LED's should glow green and modulate with level variations from the input program. If the LED's are consistently indicating red, then the mixer is being overdriven which will result in distortion. Avoid operating the mixer with the red LED's illuminated.

Rear Panel Features

AC Power Inlet

The 3 pin IEC power inlet is located on the left side of the rear panel and accepts a standard mains power lead fitted with an IEC connector. The operating voltage is 115VAC@60Hz . The AC power voltage is not externally user adjustable but is factory preset. The inlet is equipped with an inbuilt AC fuse holder fitted with a 125mA slow blow fuse plus one spare. Power consumption is 7VA .

Please ensure that the mains power cord is disconnected before attempting to check or replace this fuse.

24 Volt DC Power Source Connection

Located to the top right of the IEC power inlet is a 2.1mm DC power socket which provides for the connection of an external 24 VDC battery. This is ideal for systems where battery backup is required or for applications where mains power is not available. The centre terminal post or pin is for connection to the positive (+) terminal. The sleeve is for connection to the negative (-) terminal.

Euro Block Connector

The 7 pin euro connector located on the rear panel allows for the connection of an optional tone module. The ATC5488 tone module is equipped with 4 tones and a common. The optional module would normally be fitted inside the mixer with the activation wires and common all connected to the internal header for easy external activation via switches or third party timers. The euro connector is not connected internally when supplied from the factory.

Output Connector

The rear panel of the TX6000 includes a male XLR output connector. The output is an active balanced isolated output for connection to a power amplifier. The maximum output is 1.5V RMS. Pin connections are Pin 1 = Earth. Pin 2 = Active Positive (+). Pin 3 = Active Negative (-). Note: If an unbalanced output is required, use a 600 Ohm matching transformer or use only Pin 2 and Earth. Do not short any of the active outputs to earth.

Tape Output

Two RCA output connectors are included on the rear panel. These provide a line level record output from the mixer. The tape output provides a maximum of 700mV into 10K ohms making it ideal for connection to most standard tape recorders. This output is sourced before the master gain control and as such the tape output level is not influenced by the operation of the master gain control.

Microphone Inputs

The TX6000 includes six female XLR inputs which accept 200 ohm balanced or unbalanced microphones. Pin connections are Pin 1 = Earth. Pin 2 = Active Positive (+). Pin 3 = Active Negative (-).

Line Inputs

The TX6000 includes six dual RCA inputs for unbalanced line or aux devices such as tape recorders, video players, tuners etc. Channel 6 has been designed to accept higher level line inputs such as CD players. When using a CD player with the TX6000, please ensure it is plugged into the channel 6 line input. Dual RCA connectors are provided to allow for the simple connection of domestic stereo devices such as tape

desks and CD players. Both the left and right outputs from these devices can be connected to the dual RCA's and will be summed to mono within the TX6000.

Note: Each input of the TX6000 has both a microphone and line connection. Please note that only one of these (on each channel) should be used at the same time.

VCA Control

An external pot (500K) can be connected to the TX6000 for remote control of the master level. The external pot is governed by the master level of the mixer allowing the installer to set the volume, then lock the mixer in a rack, leaving the user with just a master volume control that cannot go beyond the level set on the master (front panel) control. Connection is via a 2 wire euro block connector on the rear panel of the mixer.

Phantom Power

The microphone inputs on the TX6000 all provide +18v DC phantom power which is required for electret microphones. If desired, phantom power can be defeated via an internal jumper which is located on the output board near the line output XLR socket on the rear panel (position X4 on the output board). The default setting is with the link in the 'on' position, shorting the centre pin and the pin closest to the rear of the TX6000. To turn phantom power off, move the link to short the centre pin and the pin closest to the front of the TX6000. Note: It is necessary to disconnect the power cord and remove the lid from the mixer before operating this switch.

Internal Adjustments

Note: The following adjustments involve access to the inside of the TX6000 and should only be attempted by a qualified technician. Always turn off the AC power and remove the AC power cord before accessing the inside of the TX6000.

Optional Accessories

Tone Generator Module

An optional ATC5488 4 tone generator board is available for the TX6000. This internally mounted PCB can be easily fitted and plugs directly into a socket provided on the pre-amp circuit board inside the TX6000. The socket is located on the front board behind the input 5 level control. Please follow the instructions supplied with the tone generator. When any tone from the ATC5488 is activated (via contact closure) all inputs will automatically mute except for input 1. Tones available on the ATC5488 tone generator board are:

Evacuation Tone

Alert Tone

Bell Tone

Pre Announce Chime

Muting Modules

Two optional VOX (signal activated) mating modules are available for the TX6000. The TX3010 mutes channels 2-6 from input 1 while the TX3014 is a dual level mating module which mutes channels 2-6 from input 1 and 3-6 from input 2. Both modules plug into a socket provided on the pre-amp circuit board inside the TX6000. The socket is located directly behind the input 1 level control.

TX3010 Muting Module: Provides muting from channel 1 only. When activated, all other channels are muted

TX3014 Muting Module: Provides dual priority muted. Channel 1 mutes 2-6. Channel 2 mutes 3-6.
