TX8201

8 Channel Stereo Mic/Line Mixer

with Direct Outputs

Description

The TX8201 is a high performance 8 channel stereo mixer suitable for desk or rack mounting.

Inputs and Outputs

The TX8201 has six active balanced mic/line inputs and two 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 1/4” stereo headphone socket is included on the front panel. The rear panel includes
a terminal block for activation of the T one Generator. The first six 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 six 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 six 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.

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.

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 need be via a
dip switch.
