Tapco by Mackie 6306 6-Channel Mixer

Product Description

The 6306 is the first product in the new Tapco by Mackie(R) family, designed for live sound applications and an exceptional price/performance ratio. Its small size belies its many features, including 2 mic inputs, 2 instrument inputs, 2 stereo line inputs, 2 aux sends, a stereo aux return, tape in and out, and stereo control room and phones outputs in addition to the main outputs. The TAPCO 6306 is designed for rugged, 24-hours-a-day use. Its sturdy construction houses durable double-sided SMT-plated fiberglass circuit boards. Impact-resistant knobs are mounted so they 'ride' just above the steel chassis, absorbing impact to minimize damage.

The 6306 has 2 mono mic/line channels with input gain controls and level-set LEDs. The balanced XLR mic inputs have switchable phantom power, and the 1/4 in. TRS instrument input jacks accept balanced or unbalanced line-level signals. In addition, it has 2 stereo line-input channels, accepting balanced or unbalanced line-level input signals. All the channels have high and low EQ controls, 1 monitor aux send (pre-fader), 1 effects aux send (post-fader), a pan control (balance control on the stereo channels), and a rotary level control.

The channel EQs are comprised of a 12 kHz high-frequency shelving EQ, and an 80 Hz low-frequency shelving EQ.

The Aux Return to Mains knob controls how much of the effects signal to add to the main mix. The Aux Return to Monitors knob lets you add effects to the stage monitor mix independent of the the effects levels added to the main mix.

The outputs on the 6306 include TRS balanced/unbalanced main outputs, control room outputs, and aux sends, RCA tape outputs, and a TRS stereo headphones output.

The control room output can be switched between the main stereo bus or the stereo tape input. The -Tape to Main switch can also route the tape input to the main stereo bus.

The 8-segment LED meters indicate the signal level at the control room/phones outputs.

The Tapco 6306 is designed for continuous operation in any sound reinforcement and mixing application. It's packed with useful features and practical routing capabilities. Simply stated, this mixer offers more features, more peace of mind, and more possibilities than any other mixer in its class.

About Tapco
Tapco knocked the audio industry on its arse back in 1969 with the very first 6-channel PA mixer specifically made for rock 'n' roll. Designed by audio guru Greg Mackie, the first Tapco mixer had more than enough headroom to handle screaming singers. It was priced just right for starving musicians. And it was durable enough to withstand wild rides in the tour bus. In fact, many original Tapco mixers are still in use today. Tapco was reborn in 2003 with the same basic idea: rock-solid audio gear at fair prices. And now, Tapco is fueled by the world-class engineering expertise and manufacturing horsepower of Mackie. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Tapco by Mackie products.
