The TX-6 is a compact field mixer that can be used straight out of the box for mixing audio. Here is a quick overview of what to expect when setting it up for the first time.

What's in the box

Your TX-6 package includes:

  • TX-6 unit
  • User's guide
  • 3.5 mm adapter
  • USB-C cable

Powering on

The TX-6 charges via 5V USB power, such as from a computer's USB port or a dedicated USB charger. Make sure to use only 5V USB power to avoid damage.

Before connecting anything

A few important precautions to keep in mind:

  • Turn off power to all connected devices before making connections
  • Never connect the TX-6's inputs or outputs to a microphone input with active phantom power, as this can cause damage
  • Always connect cables to the TX-6 first if you need to connect or disconnect during use

Safe operating conditions

Use the TX-6 in ambient temperatures between 0°C and 50°C (32°F and 122°F) and keep relative humidity below 95%. Keep the unit level and stable during use.

Firmware

It is worth checking for a firmware update before diving in. The manual references an update utility you can access online to keep your unit current.

Once powered on, you can explore input mode, the track menu, EQ, effects, and the built-in synth and sequencer from there.
