TX8201, 8 Channel Stereo Mixer
Product Description
The TX8201 is a single rack height, 8 channel stereo mixer with direct outputs suitable for desk or 19” rack mounting.
The TX8201 has 6 balanced mic or line inputs and 2 stereo auxiliary inputs. Each input channel has individual bass,
treble and pan controls. The first 6 channels also feature a line level direct output which can be used to feed additional
amplifiers, mixers or recording devices. An internal dip switch allows the first 6 inputs to be routed to either the direct
output, the master outputs or both. The TX8201 also features in-built VOX muting and a 4 tone generator with Alert,
Evacuate, Pre-Announce and Bell tones.

Input Level Controls
Mic/Line Gain: The first 6 inputs are labeled Mic/Line 1 to Mic/Line 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 clockwise until the
desired mix level for each channel is reached. Each of the 6 inputs is equipped with an mic/line dip switch which is
located inside the unit (see Internal Adjustments). Please ensure that this switch is in the correct position for the type of
input (mic or line) that you are connecting to each channel. The input sensitivity when in the mic level position is 1mV
(for 1 Volt output). The input sensitivity when in the line level position is 330mV (for a 1 Volt output)
Stereo Line Gain: The 2 auxiliary input channels are labeled Stereo Line 7 and Stereo Line 8. These controls should be
adjusted to provide the required mix level for each individual auxiliary channel. Start with the controls set to Level 0 and
turn the controls clockwise until the desired mix level for each channel is reached. The sensitivity of auxiliary inputs 7
and 8 is 180 mV (for a 1 volt output).

Master Left and Right Output
The master Left and Right controls should be adjusted to set the overall mixer level for each output channel based on the
individual levels already set via the input channel gain controls. Start with the output controls set at approximately the
Level 5 position and adjust clockwise for more output level or counter-clockwise for less output level.
Pan Control
Each input channel has a recessed (screwdriver adjustable) pan control. The pan control determines what proportion of
each input channel will be sent to either of the Left or Right output channels. Setting the pan control in the centre
position will send equal signal levels to both the Left and Right master outputs. Turning the pan control in a clockwise
direction will send progressively more signal to the Right output channel and less to the Left output channel. Turning the
pan control in a counter-clockwise direction will send progressively more signal to the Left output channel and less to
the Right output channel. The pan control also allows the TX8201 to be used in dual zone applications.
Bass Control
Each input channel has a recessed (screwdriver adjustable) bass tonal adjustment control labeled “Bass”. Setting this
control in the centre position will give a flat bass response. Adjusting the bass control in a clockwise direction will
provide up to 12 dB of bass boost @ 100 Hz. Adjusting the bass control in a counter-clockwise direction will provide up
to 12 dB of bass cut @ 100 Hz.
Treble Control
Each input channel has a recessed (screwdriver adjustable) treble tonal adjustment control labeled “Treble”. Setting this
control in the centre position will give a flat treble response. Adjusting the treble control in a clockwise direction will
provide up to 10 dB of treble boost @ 10KHz. Adjusting the treble control in a counter-clockwise direction will provide
up to 10 dB of treble cut @ 10KHz.
