Introduction

Thank you for choosing a TAPCO Blend 6 mixer by Mackie. 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. 

This compact mixer is perfect for small to medium-sized live sound reinforcement 
applications, keyboards and synths, video, and small-project studio applications.
