| The Blend 6 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 Blend 6 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 Blend 6 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 ¼" 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 Blend 6 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 Blend 6 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.
