Tapco 6306 Specifications

Introduction
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.
