Tapco Mix260FX 12-Channel Compact Mixer

With over a decade in manufacturing high quality, cost-effective audio mixers, the Mackie / Tapco ultra compact mixer series deliver the sonic quality and design expected of Mackie, at a cost effective price. The ultra compact series are an ideal solution for home studios, DJs, desktop video production, lounges, restaurants, small clubs, schools and more.

Ergonomic and intuitive operation with a lot of pro features makes it an amazing value!

The Mix.260FX 12-Channel Compact Mixer shares the great features of the Mix Series Ultra-Compacts, but adds professional-level features like real faders and a built-in 20-bit digital multi-effects processor.

This Tapco mixer features quality 20-bit digital effects with 256 fantastic-sounding presets, including a variety of clean sounding reverbs and delays, plus chorus, flange, tremolo and rotary effects. The Mix FX also adds 60mm linear faders with mute and solo controls for the optimum hands-on Mix flexibility. It adds channel inserts, plus two busses with flexible channel/main mix assignment, subgroup master faders and discrete sub outputs.

All that great sound potential won’t eat up your precious desktop space either, and you can still find a place for it, even if your van is packed to the rafters with other gear. And don’t worry about taking it out on the road. The Mix FX Series is a durable performer cleverly packed into a compact solid steel chassis you can depend on, night after night.

Small doesn’t have to be cramped. Tapco and Mackie have made the most of the Mix FX Series by designing them to be comfortable to use–and not just for kids under four years of age. And because they’re Tapco, the controls are presented in a way that simply makes sense to beginners and pros alike.

The Mix.260FX mixer is the perfect, cost-effective solution for applications ranging from home/project recording to sound education labs, to anything a human being would need an audio mixer for. The Mix FX Series also offers incredibly useful features such as CD/tape I/O, super-accurate 8-segment main meters, and phantom power for pro-level condenser microphones, selectable AFL/PFL Solo mode, and flexible monitoring control. Add a Kensington security lock, and they’re perfect for schools, dorm rooms, small churches, and anywhere thieves congregate.
