INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a TAPCO MIX FX Series mixer. 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 LOUD Technologies.
These compact mixers are perfect for small to medium-sized live sound reinforcement applications,
keyboards and synths, video, and small-project studio applications.
