The 6306 is the first product in the new TAPCO by Mackie® family,
designed for live sound applications and an exceptional price/performance
ratio.
Its small size belies its many features, including two mic inputs,
two instrument inputs, two stereo line inputs, two 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 two 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" TRS instrument input jacks accept
balanced or unbalanced line-level signals. In addition, it has two
stereo line-input channels, accepting balanced or unbalanced line-level
input signals. All the channels have high and low EQ controls, one
monitor aux send (pre-fader), one 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.
