Jinglemaster Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My new mixer just arrived. It is only a baby, but is actually very good indeed. It is a TAPCO MIX260FX (Made by mackie) and has the following basic spec: 4 x mono channel (XLR or 1/4" jack) 4 x stereo channel (1/4" jack) sub mixer 4 band eq on all channels 2 x aux sends per channel mute main mix sub mix solo and PFL 60mm faders very good on board digital effects, around 260 effects Multiple outputs including balance XLR as well as 1/4" jacks I bought this to replace my aging Behringer 1604. My only gripe? YELLOW sides!!!!! What nutter came up with that odea? Anyway, we'll see what the output is like in a few days when my cold goes AGAIN.

KHUK Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Definitely a good buy there, Fin. It isn't the size that counts it's what you do with it that does. I pulled this picture from Google, Nick. I think this is the one fin bought. http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3443/tapcomix260fxkl5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinglemaster Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yep, thats the one. £125 brand new. Cannot go wrong for that. I must say the sound from te Behringer is better IMHO, but I haven't really played with this yet. But for that money, heck it is good value.

carlwelden Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 My only gripe? YELLOW sides!!!!! What nutter came up with that odea? The designer who wanted to insure that this would never be confused with any other brand of mixer EVER. It will stand out amongst the silver, black and grey items. At least they aren't wrapped in wood-grained contact paper....though I'm sure that's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlwelden Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hey Jingle, Thought of you last week on a live announce gig. I had to patch into an existing sound system at an outdoor event, From a distance, I saw the console had these bright yellow sides. I said to the sound tech, "I see you have a Tapco" to which he instantly replied: "I've been meaning to cover the sides with gaff tape" I am still cracking up over this one.
