Woodinville - September 7 2003:
The 6306 6-channel mixer, from the new TAPCO by Mackie brand, will have its official UK launch at this year's PLASA exhibition, Earls Court, September 2003.

Backed by the world-class engineering and manufacturing horsepower of Mackie Designs, the 6306 features two low-noise mic preamps, two instrument inputs, a stereo aux return to monitor, two aux sends, 8-segment LED metering as well as separate phones and control room level controls.

It is the first of several new products to be launched under the new TAPCO brand, designed to make high-quality professional audio gear accessible to virtually everyone.

Ken Berger, Sr. Vice President of Marketing at Mackie Designs Inc. says; "We are really excited to introduce this new line of cost-effective products. TAPCO by Mackie will allow us to significantly grow our customer base by introducing Mackie technology to the entry-level market that, up to now, has had to sacrifice quality for affordability. This is what the TAPCO brand is all about and we are committed to redefining the entry-level space by growing the TAPCO family of products."

The 6306 began shipping earlier this year, following its official European launch at this yearÕs Frankfurt Musikmesse in March.
