Samson SATXM16 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Congratulations on your purchase of the Samson
TXM16 or TXM20 powered mixer! The TXM16 and
TXM20 are sixteen and twenty channel, pow-
ered mixers in ergonomically correct, attractively
appointed, tabletop enclosures. Both TXM models
feature the same massive 1000-watt power ampli-
fier, which is capable of running in 2 x 500-watt
stereo, 500-watt Main plus 500-watt monitor, or
1000-watt bridge mono operating modes. To set
the overall tonal response of your mix, the TXM mix-
ers feature a Nine-band Stereo Graphic Equalizer
for the Main Left and Right outputs, plus a sepa-
rate Nine-band Graphic Equalizer for your monitor
mix. Connecting all your microphones and instru-
ments is simple, with eight mic/line inputs plus
four additional stereo channels on the TXM16, and
twelve mic/line inputs plus four additional stereo
channels on the TXM20. There are also dedicated
stereo effects returns for the onboard digital effects.
And the effects! You can add one of the TXM16’s
100 dazzling digital studio quality effects, which
include Delays, Chorus, Flanging, and of course,
lush Reverbs to your vocals or instruments using
the onboard 24-bit Multi-Effects Processor. It’s easy
to dial up your favorite effects preset with the large
seven-segment LED display. Need more effects?
The TXM20 employs two onboard 100 24-bit Multi-
Effects Processors. Plus, the TXM mixers have exten-
sive auxiliary busses allowing you to have complex
combinations of effects on all the channels, or two
different effects on different groups of channels. The
auxiliary buses are also extremely flexible when it
comes to monitor mixes. The TXM16 and TXM20 will
give you clean, clear sound reproduction thanks to
the high quality, low noise microphone preamps,
super clean, low impedance mix bus, two on-board
9-band graphic equalizers and the high output/low
distortion power amplifier. The units are easy to
transport with their compact size and oversized,
sure-grip handle. In addition, the TXM16 can be
rack mounted using the included eleven-space rack
mount kit.
