Introduction
Thank you for choosing a TAPCO 6306 mixer by Mackie Designs. The TAPCO family of
mixers hails back to the days of TAPCO Corporation, Greg Mackie’s fi rst company. TAPCO
revolutionized the audio industry back in 1969 with the very fi rst 6-channel mixer specifi cally
designed for keyboards and rock ‘N’ roll PA.
The fi rst TAPCO mixer, although primitive by today’s standards, was truly innovative for
its time. It had the headroom to handle screaming singers, was priced for the pocketbook
of starving psychedelic musical neophytes, and durable enough to withstand mammoth
levels of wear and tear on the road, and at now-legendary concerts.
In essence, TAPCO re-defi ned the price performance ratio and made high-quality
professional audio mixers accessible to virtually anyone. Today, TAPCO is reborn with the
same ideals and is backed by the world-class engineering and manufacturing horsepower
of Mackie Designs. The new TAPCO 6306 6-channel mixer is the fi rst product in the new
TAPCO by Mackie
®
family.
This compact mixer is perfect for small to medium-sized live sound reinforcement
applications, keyboards and synths, video, and small-project studio applications.
