PHONES and CD/TAPE IN Section
45 - PHONES – Control knob 
This control adjusts the level of Headphone Output.
46 -MAIN MIX 2 – control knob
The TXM mixers provide a second set of output connec-
tors carrying a duplicate of the MAIN MIX signal for the 
purpose of feeding another speaker zone or recorder. The 
MAIN MIX 2 control knob is used to set the volume of the 
MAIN Mix 2 output. 
47 - Mute CH 1 - 8 (12)  - switch
You can turn off channels 1 through 8 on the TXM16 and 
1 through 12 on the TXM20 with a press of a single button 
using the MUTE CH 1 – 8(12) switch. This is especially con-
venient when you take a break and want to leave all the 
levels set so they are ready when you begin to use your 
PA system again.  The MUTE 1-8 does not turn off chan-
nels 7/8 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14, and does not turn off the 
CD/TAPE inputs. So, when the MUTE CH 1 – 8(12) switch is 
on, you still have a 2-channel DJ mixer with two available 
mic inputs. The MUTE switch features an electronic circuit 
for silent switching that ramps the signal up and down to 
prevent pops when the switch is turned on and off.
48 - PFL switch
The CD/TAPE input channel’s PFL, or Pre Fader Listen 
switch allows you to listen, or “solo” the CD/TAPE input in 
the headphones. When the CD/TAPE input channel’s PFL 
switch is pressed down, that channel’s signal is assigned 
to the solo bus and can be heard in any optional head-
phones plugged in to the PHONES connector located in 
the front panel jack field. Since the signal is sent pre fader, 
you can hear the signal regardless of the position of the 
channel Level control. This allows you to listen to a chan-
nel by itself: (let's say), to cue up a song on a CD player 
without having to play it through the main PA speakers.
49 -CD/TAPE – Fader control 
The TXM16 and TXM20 have a dedicated line level CD/
TAPE input to connect a CD, Tape or MP3 player. The CD/
TAPE level fader control is used to adjust the volume of 
the signal connected to the CD/TAPE input. 
MONO/SUBWOOFER Output Section
The TXM16 and TXM20 have a MONO output that can be 
used to send to a secondary speaker zone. You can also 
configure the MONO Output to drive a subwoofer system 
by using the built-in variable Low Pass Filter.
