Tapco Mix 260 FX

Kékidit the gentleman from below? (Gentiment. ..)
Console rather bushy, 4 mono inputs (with gain and égualo 3bandes with stop adjustable center frequency of the medium), 4 stereo (without gain and égualo 4band), 2 sub out, two send (mono) / return (stereo!) for auxiliary . All connected to Jack.
Well it seems that there are effects, personal I forgot ...
1 input for a CD player or another, to output to a recorder (that's in the CAR).
And full of buttons for referral asigner sound to the auxiliaries, the subs ... and that's great.
I put 9 to send the mono ...

UTILIZATION

Manuel ultra clear, I knew, even before it is purchased, how it worked and what connection I would do. And this is my first console (you still have to specify it ...).
using basic console: Basic ...
As for the multiple referral buttons, that, that tears ... To live is nickel, personal, I KAOSS pad connected to the output sub returning to one of the inputs, MFB filter on the back and send an entry (not the return to ...), and there: you have fun.

You filter the MFB (turning a knob), you glue a delay him by repeating the KAOSS switch (lean of a button, the little round button next to the volume fader direct to headphone and / or main outputs and / or output sub);
You mute the KAOSS you sample your groove-box (by pressing the little round button tjrs ...), you mute the groove and you Demut the KAOSS ...
Close control on a possible closure of the filter itself (= "feedback" => MFB FilterBox, my Love) ...
Otherwise, the possibility of reinvesting the return to the sub output ... short.

info: the little paragraph above is not a demo. Using a console and all its knobs can scare the neophyte (oh it's on, you get lost at the beginning ... "'Where he is my son???>>) so I wanted give a little manipulation and the possibilities to reach. When we tasted there, one wonders how it was before.

It seems to me that Yamaha consoles do not allow much opportunity for referral of this mix at Tapco, while in regard to sub out / main outputs (always the ptits round buttons ...). After I said that compared to the buttons and switches on the front panel availables for Yamaha, that I do not use.

SOUNDS

It does not blow.

Good little trouble with the preamp gain, there is no yamaha ... No way to push them too => disto!

Similarly, the correct position of the fader volume is not high stop position (slight distortion), it is best to leave the fader in an area clearly marked next to them ... for teuffeurs ki kiffent balance the fader stumbled to blow up the beat, is better.

The égualo, it reacts quickly, it is practical to enhance certain colors, but have not abuse it too.

After that, it's good ...

OVERALL OPINION

I did not console. I bought this one, I have not had to repair (I've had one year).

Since then, I mumuse, live is a whole new dimension, it juggles with "switches" console = intersection of sound, and even more with the possibility of the latter.

Preamps beefier, would have been nice, but frankly it's not annoying.

No problem, I will redeem it. Without looking at Berh ###...

UTILIZATION

It is simple, although I have been slow to understand, everything is accessible even with large fingers it can be done.
I can not comment on the manual is silent in English!

SOUNDS

The qualiseur is very well even if the others will say that is rubbish! For me enough for me. I have not DTECT of breath.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months.
What I like most that is all rglages do it: the rglages that is my thing!
I tried a DJ mixer but that is all.
To speak of the ratio Q / P is dlicat for me because-I am not pro music and I 've not tried to mix the two tables in my life so I said nothing.
I do it again no problem but this choice at Mackie.
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>I would like to point out that even JMM 061,048 is simply dropped on a console dfectueuse but do not worry has come in all makes even Yamaha!!</span>

It is not facillement rack
4 microphones and 4 Stereo line and
there is a section 20 effective bits but trs breath quickly

UTILIZATION

Complex and fragile console not to mention the APRS sale !!!!!!!!!!
in playback (out of stock, no spices, manufacturer relationship ???????)
The functions are good and the manual light

SOUNDS

Distortion and imprcition
Gain 2 hours and it starts blowing
fader at 7 / 10 and distorting
qualiseur asss good if it does not grow because the APRS mdiums become shrill and nazillards

OVERALL OPINION

We just give me one as a backup roure (it is) because I am with this brand out of a bad exprience
2 other friends have musicos trs quickly resold their own failures APRS
I now have a principal mackiecfx 12 (it's something else) what's, what precision, what effects, there's no picture! ! ! cot is the fiat of the bmw

8 inputs with 4 mono (XLR + jack) and 4 stereo
2 stereo outputs (+ 1jak 1XLR)
A control room output
1 auxiliary send (mono)
2 assignable sub group
an effects processor (reverb, chorus, delay, flanger, etc ...)
4 band equalizer

UTILIZATION

A configuration very easy to use in a home studio or live for a beginner.
I started using it for live recording and it brought very little breath, the effects are not great but nice in the live voice.
A table has all accesible for a wide choice of configuration.

SOUNDS

The equalizer is useful to correct some inequity in the sound as present or too low a light breath by reducing the treble to 12kHz.
The sound is relatively good despite a very slight hiss which is understandable given the price / quality ratio.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 2 years and I am very happy. To start the sound system in concert in small configurations, this product is ideal given its price / quality ratio.
