What me, read a manual?  
Before you begin, please make sure you read the Safety Instructions on page 2 and Getting Started on  
page 4.  
Your new TAPCO® MIX Series mixer is designed to set up quickly and operate easily. We know it’s often  
seen as a sign of weakness to read a manual, along with asking for directions when lost, but maybe you can  
read the rest when nobody is looking.  
It is important to keep your receipt in a safe place, and not a bad idea to write your product information  
here for future reference (i.e., insurance claims, tech support, return authorization, etc.).

GETTING STARTED  
The following steps will help you set up your mixer, and get the levels  
and adjustments just right.  
ZERO THE CONTROLS:  
SET THE LEVELS (Mic/Line Channels):  
1. Leave the POWER cord disconnected from the  
MIX Series mixer.  
2. Turn down the channel strip GAIN, AUX SEND,  
and LEVEL controls.  
3. Center the channel strip EQ and PAN/BAL  
1. Choose one of the microphones or instruments  
you connected to the mono MIC or LINE input.  
Make some noise. If it’s a microphone, sing at your  
normal singing volume. If it’s an instrument, play it  
at its normal output level.  
2. While making noise, turn up that channel’s GAIN  
until the PEAK LED (next to the PAN control)  
starts blinking.  
controls.  
4. Turn down the MASTER AUX SEND and CTRL  
ROOM/PHONES controls.  
5. Leave all switches out (up).  
3. Raise that channel’s LEVEL to unity gain (U label).  
You should be hearing your noise now.  
6. Turn down the MAIN MIX control.  
4. If necessary, apply channel EQ changes. (You may  
need to compensate for level changes afterward  
with the channel LEVEL control.)  
CONNECTIONS:  
1. Connect your speakers to your amplifier’s outputs  
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other Mic/Line  
(unless, of course, you have powered speakers).  
channel(s).  
3. Using TR or TRS cables, make connections from  
your mixer’s MAIN OUT to your amplification  
system’s line inputs.  
4. Connect your microphones and instruments to  
the mixer: Connect microphones to the mono  
channel MIC INPUT jacks. (For condenser  
6. Stop making noise. Everyone: start making music.  
7. Now turn up the MAIN MIX control to a  
comfortable listening level.  
SET THE LEVELS (Stereo LineChannels):  
1. Make some noise with the mono or stereo  
instrument connected to the LINE IN jacks on a  
stereo line-input channel.  
microphones, engage the PHANTOM POWER  
switch — not available on the Mix.50.) Connect  
line-level signal sources to the LINE input jacks.  
2. Adjust the line-input signal level at the source until  
the PEAK LED (next to the PAN control) starts  
blinking.  
Note: Normally, you would plug in only one  
microphone or one instrument into each mono  
channel.  
Note: The Mix.50 does not have PEAK LEDs on  
its two stereo channels. In that case, set the input  
signal to its normal operating level, but listen  
for any signs of distortion. If the signal sounds  
distorted (and not on purpose!), then turn down  
the input signal at the source.  
5. Zero the controls, as described above.  
6. Connect the power cord supplied with your mixer  
to the POWER connection on the back and plug  
it into an AC outlet properly configured for your  
model.  
7. Plug all other sound system components into  
suitable AC outlets, properly grounded and  
capable of delivering adequate current.  
3. Raise that channel’s LEVEL control until  
it is approximately equal in volume to the  
microphones or instruments connected to  
channels 1 and 2.  
4. If necessary, apply channel EQ changes. (You may  
need to compensate for level changes afterward  
with the channel LEVEL control.)  
8. Turn all the power switches on, leaving the  
speaker’s amplifier’s switch for last.  
Note: There is no power switch on the MIX Series  
mixers. They are powered up as soon as they are  
plugged in to an AC outlet.  
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining stereo  
9. Turn up the MAIN MIX control to the 9 o’clock  
position (for the Mix.50 and Mix.60) or to the –10  
mark (for the Mix.100 and Mix.120), for now.  
We’ll crank it up later on.

INTRODUCTION  
Thank you for choosing a TAPCO MIX Series mixer. The TAPCO family of mixers hails back to the days of  
TAPCO Corporation, Greg Mackie’s first company. TAPCO revolutionized the audio industry back in 1969  
with the very first 6-channel mixer specifically designed for keyboards and rock ‘N’ roll PA.  
The first TAPCO mixer, although primitive by today’s standards, was truly innovative for its time. It had  
the headroom to handle screaming singers, was priced for the pocketbook of starving psychedelic musical  
neophytes, and durable enough to withstand mammoth levels of wear and tear on the road, and at now-  
legendary concerts.  
In essence, TAPCO re-defined the price performance ratio and made high-quality professional audio  
mixers accessible to virtually anyone. Today, TAPCO is reborn with the same ideals and is backed by the  
world-class engineering and manufacturing horsepower of LOUD Technologies.  
These compact mixers are perfect for small to medium-sized live sound reinforcement applications,  
keyboards and synths, video, and small-project studio applications.

When connecting a mono device (just one cord),  
MIX SERIES FEATURES  
always use the left (mono) input and plug nothing  
into the right input. A trick called “jack normalling”  
causes the signal to appear on both sides.  
CHANNEL INPUTS  
3. GAIN CONTROL  
If you haven’t already, please read “SET THE  
LEVELS” on page 4.  
The GAIN control adjusts the input sensitivity of  
the MIC and LINE inputs. This allows signals from  
the outside world to be adjusted to optimal internal  
operating levels.  
The GAIN control provides 50 dB of gain with the  
knob fully up.  
1. MIC (MICROPHONE) INPUTS  
The MIX Series is equipped with one or more  
rugged, low-noise, phantom-powered microphone  
preamplifiers, providing up to 50 dB of crystal-clear  
amplification. Their balanced circuitry rejects all  
manner of extraneous interference. Professional  
condenser, dynamic, and ribbon mics all sound  
excellent through these XLR inputs.  
You can plug in almost any kind of balanced mic  
that has a standard XLR-type male mic connector.  
See Appendix B for more information on XLR  
connectors.  
4. PEAK LED  
This handy LED (Light Emitting Diode) lets you  
know that the signals going into the mixer are  
adjusted to the correct level, not too strong to cause  
distortion and not too weak to be lost in noise.  
After you connect a microphone or line-level  
component to the mixer, do a sound test and adjust  
the GAIN control until this handy LED flickers just  
occasionally. If it is glowing constantly, turn the GAIN  
down. If the LED is doing almost nothing, turn it up.  
The MIX Series provides +48 VDC phantom  
powering on pins 2 and 3 of the mono channels’ XLR  
MIC inputs (except Mix.50). This can be turned on  
and off using the PHANTOM (19) switch.  
CAUTION: DO NOT connect a line-  
level device to a MIC input with the  
phantom power switched on. This  
could damage the device. Use the  
LINE IN (2) jacks instead.  
Do not use phantom power with tube or ribbon  
microphones, as this may cause damage.  
CHANNEL CONTROLS  
The channel strips have various controls,  
depending on the model and whether it is a mic/line  
(mono) channel or a stereo channel.  
2. LINE INPUTS  
The output from each channel strip passes on to  
the left and right main mix. An auxiliary signal can  
be tapped off and sent to monitors or processors  
(except Mix.50). The block diagrams on pages 19-22  
show how the signal flows through each mixer.  
These inputs can accept 1/4" TRS balanced and TS  
unbalanced plugs from any line-level instrument, effects  
device, or tape player. They can be driven by virtually  
any line-level signal, from –45 dBu up to +18 dBu.  
There are two line-inputs for each stereo channel,  
a left and a right. When connecting a stereo device  
(two cords), use both the left (mono) input and the  
right input.

UNITY GAIN  
8. 75Hz Low-Cut Switch  
(Mix.100/Mix.120 only)  
LOOK  
The U symbol on most of the  
controls, stands for “unity gain,”  
meaning there is no change  
in signal level. Once you have  
adjusted the input signal to line-  
This switch cuts the bass frequencies below 75 Hz.  
We recommend that you use the Low-Cut switch  
on every microphone application except kick drum,  
bass guitar, bassy synth patches, or recordings of  
earthquakes. These aside, there isn’t much down  
there that you want to hear, and filtering it out makes  
the low stuff you do want much more crisp and tasty.  
CLOSER  
level, you can set every control at U, and your signals  
will travel through the mixer at optimal levels.  
EQUALIZATION  
Each EQ control provides up to 15 dB of boost  
and cut, with no change to the signal (0 dB) in the  
center position. The mic/line channels have EQ  
controls on all models. Only the Mix.60 has EQ  
controls on the stereo channels.  
Although you can bring a sound to life with proper  
EQ, you can also mess things up. If you max the EQs  
on every channel, you’ll get mix mush, not to mention  
driving your mix levels near or beyond clipping. So  
equalize subtly; use cut as well as boost.  
9. +4/–10 Switch (Mix.100/Mix.120 only)  
This switch changes the input sensitivity of the  
channel to match either the –10 dBv consumer level  
or the +4 dBu professional level. Most consumer  
equipment with RCA connectors operate at the –10  
dBv level, while most professional equipment with  
1/4-inch phone jacks or XLR connectors operate at  
the +4 dBu level.  
As you might expect, the +4 dBu level is higher  
(louder) than the –10 dBv level. If you have trouble  
getting enough volume from a signal connected to  
one of these stereo channels, push in the +4/–10  
switch to get more volume.  
5. HI EQ  
Turning this clockwise boosts the level of all  
frequencies above 12 kHz. Turning it counter-  
clockwise cuts the levels.  
AUXILIARY (all except Mix.50)  
Use this wisely to add sizzle to cymbals or an  
overall sense of transparency or edge to keyboards,  
vocals, guitar, and bacon frying. Turn it down a little  
to reduce sibilance or hide tape hiss.  
In addition to the main mix output, the mixer  
provides an auxiliary mix, which you can send to  
parallel effects

10. AUX SEND (all except Mix.50)  
The AUX SEND is used to feed the mono input  
of parallel effects devices or the input of a stage  
monitor amplifier via the AUX SEND (27) output  
jack. All the channel controls (except PAN or BAL)  
will affect the AUX signal. The signal is tapped off  
after the LEVEL control. The output from an external  
processor can come back in via the STEREO AUX  
RETURN (13) inputs (on the Mix.60) or a stereo  
channel (Mix.100/Mix.120), and be added to the  
main mix.

For mono mic/line channels, if PAN is in the center  
position, the mono signal appears equally in both  
the left and right of the main mix. If the control is set  
left, more of the signal appears in the left side. If the  
control is set right, more of the signal appears in the  
right side of the mix.  
For stereo channels, the BAL control works like  
a home stereo balance control, by attenuating one  
side or the other. In the center position, the left and  
right channel signals pass through to the main mix  
unaffected. If it is turned left, the right channel is  
attenuated; if turned right, the left side is attenuated.

sides.  
The signal is added directly into the main mix.  
There is no level control for the aux return signal,  
but most external processors have an output level  
control that you can use to adjust the signal being  
returned to the mixer.

the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES (25/28) outputs  
when the TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES (16) switch is  
pushed in (TAPE TO PHONES only on the Mix.50).  
See Appendix B for more information about RCA  
connectors.  
When connecting a mono device (just one cord),  
you’ll need a “Y-splitter” RCA adapter. It turns a  
mono output cord into two cords, so both the right  
and left tape input jacks can be used. This adapter is  
widely available.  
16. TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES Switch  
(TAPE TO PHONES on Mix.50)  
Use this switch to select the signal source for the  
CONTROL ROOM outputs, PHONES, and METERS.  
When the switch is up, they all receive the main  
mix signal tapped after the MAIN MIX control.  
When the switch is pushed in, they all receive the  
CD/TAPE Input signal. Turn down the CTRL ROOM/  
PHONES (21) control (just PHONES on the Mix.50)  
before engaging.  
Note: There is a chance of feedback if you have  
the tape inputs and outputs connected to the same  
recorder, and the recorder is in record mode.  
17. FX TO CTRL ROOM Switch  
(Mix.100/Mix.120 only)  
Push this switch to monitor the aux send signal in  
the Control Room and Phones outputs. This overides  
the TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES switch and  
replaces whatever signal is present at the Control  
Room and Phones outputs with the aux send signal.  
15. TAPE TO MIX Switch  
If you have a CD or Tape Deck connected to the  
CD/TAPE inputs, push down this switch to add the  
CD/TAPE signal to the main mix. This is useful if you  
want to play some entertainment* while the band is  
taking a break. Use the MAIN MIX control to adjust  
the volume level.  
* We do not mean to imply that your band isn’t  
entertaining, or that any other music could possibly  
fill in for them.

20. METERS  
MAIN SECTION  
These left and right meters have four LEDs each,  
with thresholds ranging from –20 dBu up to +18  
dBu (OL = overload).  
The 0 dB LED corresponds to an output level of 0  
dBu (0.775 V RMS). The OL LEDs turn on when the  
output reaches +18 dBu. There is a fair margin of  
safety before actual clipping distortion occurs, but  
you should turn things down if the OL LEDs come on.  
Normally, the meters display the level of the main  
mix, after the MAIN MIX (23) control.  
If the TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES (16) switch  
is pushed in, the meters display the level of the CD/  
TAPE signal, and not the main mix.  
You can get a good mix with the meter’s peaks  
flashing anywhere between –20 and +6 dB. Most  
amplifiers clip at about +10 dB, and some recorders  
aren’t so forgiving either. For best real-world results, try  
to keep your peaks between “0” and “+6.”  
18. POWER LED  
This LED turns on when the mixer’s power cord is  
plugged into an AC outlet. Since there is no power  
switch on the MIX Series mixers, the mixer is always  
on when it is connected to AC power.  
19. PHANTOM 48V Switch and LED  
Push in this switch to provide phantom power  
to the MIC (1) input XLR jacks. Phantom power is  
required to operate most condenser microphones  
(some condenser microphones are battery-powered).  
With the switch pushed in, the mixer provides +48  
VDC phantom powering on XLR pins 2 and 3.  
If you have ribbon mics, tube mics, or dynamic  
mics that do not require phantom power, leave the  
PHANTOM POWER switch out. If you are using both  
condenser and dynamic mics, don’t worry. Phantom  
power will not hurt most dynamic mics. Check the  
microphone’s user manual if you’re not sure.  
Caution: Turn all output levels down  
If your meters are too high, you will get distortion.  
If they are too low, then your signal-to-noise will  
suffer. Use the meters to help you adjust the mixer for  
optimum performance without distortion or noise.  
Then you can adjust your amplifier’s level controls  
for good overall volume. This will give you the best  
overall signal-to-noise ratio for your system.  
before operating this switch to avoid  
the possibility of a “pop” in your  
speakers. Do not use phantom power  
with tube or ribbon microphones, as  
this may cause damage.

start with the CTRL ROOM/PHONE knob turned  
all the way down before connecting headphones to  
the PHONES jack. Keep it down until you’ve put on  
the headphones. The turn it up slowly. Why? Always  
remember: “Engineers who fry their ears, find  
themselves with short careers.”  
Each channel strip has an AUX SEND control  
knob that adjusts how much of that channel’s signal  
appears at this output. The output from this jack is the  
sum of all those active channels that have their AUX  
SEND knobs set to more than the minimum position.  
This output is affected by the channel LEVEL (12),  
but not the MAIN MIX (23) control.  
Note: Since this output is post-channel EQ and  
LEVEL, it is not used as a traditional stage monitor cue.  
It is intended to patch into an effects device’s input.  
That said, we’re not going to stop you from using  
it as a monitor feed if you want to. To create a stage  
monitor mix, connect this 1/4" TRS output to your  
monitor amplifier’s input, or powered monitor’s input.  
22. MASTER AUX SEND Knob  
(all except Mix.50)  
The Master AUX SEND knob provides overall  
control for the aux send level, just before it is  
delivered to the Aux Send output.  
It ranges from off when fully counter-clockwise, to  
unity gain at the center detent position, to +15 dB  
gain when fully up.  
27. TAPE OUTPUTS  
23. MAIN MIX  
Use these jacks to capture the entire performance  
to tape. The signal at these jacks is a sample of the  
main mix, as it appears at the MAIN (24) output. The  
TAPE OUTPUT level is affected by the MAIN MIX  
(23) control.  
This controls the final level of main mix signals  
sent to the MAIN (24) outputs, TAPE (27) outputs,  
CONTROL ROOM (25), PHONES (28) and METERS  
(20). So it all comes down to this one control.  
On the Mix.50 and Mix.60, this is a rotary control.  
Typically (providing the GAIN is set correctly), this will  
be positioned somewhere between 0 dB (U) and the  
3 o’clock position.  
On the Mix.100 and Mix.120, this is a slide  
control (fader). Typically, the fader will be positioned  
somewhere between 0 dB (U) and the +5 dB position.  
All active mono and stereo channels that are  
not turned down will appear in the main mix. Other  
signals feeding this control include the STEREO AUX  
RETURN (13) (Mix.60), and CD/TAPE IN (14) when  
TAPE TO MIX (15) is pushed in.  
28. PHONES OUTPUT  
The stereo signal at this output jack is the same as  
the CTRL ROOM (25) outputs, and is controlled by  
the same CTRL ROOM/PHONES level control knob  
(21). You can listen to the main mix, the CD/TAPE,  
or the Aux Send (Mix.100/Mix.120 only) depending

APPENDIX A: SERVICE INFORMATION  
Warranty Service  
Repair  
Details concerning Warranty Service are spelled  
out in the Warranty section on page 23.  
If you think your TAPCO mixer has a problem,  
please do everything you can to confirm it before  
calling for service. Doing so might save you from  
the deprivation of your mixer and the associated  
suffering.  
Service for TAPCO mixers is available at a factory-  
authorized service center. Service for TAPCO mixers  
living outside the United States can be obtained  
through local dealers or distributors.  
If your mixer needs service, follow these instructions:  
1. Review the preceding troubleshooting  
suggestions. Please.  
These may sound obvious to you, but here are  
some things you can check. Read on.  
2. Call Tech Support at 1-877-827-2669, 7 am to  
5 pm PST, to explain the problem and obtain a  
Service Request Number. Have your mixer’s serial  
number ready.  
You must have a Service Request Number before  
you can obtain factory-authorized.  
3. Keep this owner’s manual. We don’t need it to  
repair the mixer.  
Troubleshooting  
Bad Channel  
Is the channel GAIN turned up?  
Is the channel LEVEL turned up?  
Try the same source signal in another channel, set  
up exactly like the suspect channel.  
4. Pack the mixer in its original package, including  
endcaps and box. This is VERY IMPORTANT. When  
you call for the Service Request Number, please  
let Tech Support know if you need new packaging.  
You can order new packaging through our parts  
department. TAPCO is not responsible for any  
damage that occurs due to non-factory packaging.  
5. Include a legible note stating your name, shipping  
address (no P.O. boxes), daytime phone number,  
RA number, and a detailed description of the  
problem, including how we can duplicate it.  
6. Write the Service Request Number in BIG PRINT on  
top of the box. Units sent to us without the Service  
Request Number will be refused.  
7. Tech Support will tell you where to ship the  
amplifier for repair. We suggest insurance for all  
forms of cartage.  
8. We’ll try to fix the mixer within five business days.  
Ask Tech Support for the latest turn-around times  
when you call for your Service Request Number.  
The mixer must be packaged in its original  
packing box, and must have the Service Request  
Number on the box. Once it’s repaired, we’ll ship it  
back the same way in which it was received. This  
paragraph does not necessarily apply to non-  
warranty repair.  
Bad Output  
IS the MAIN MIX control turned up?  
If it’s a stereo pair, try switching them around. For  
example, if a left output is presumed dead, switch  
the left and right cords, at the mixer end. If the left  
speaker is still dead, it’s not the mixer.  
Noise  
Turn the channel LEVEL controls down, one  
by one. If the noise disappears, it’s either that  
channel or whatever is plugged into it, so unplug  
whatever that is.  
Power  
Our favorite question: Is the POWER switch on?  
Ha! Fooled you. There is no POWER switch.  
Is the external power supply securely plugged into  
the POWER connector on the back of the Mix Series  
mixer?  
Is the external power supply plugged into an AC  
power strip? Make sure the power to the power  
strip is turned on.  
Are all the lights out in your building?  
Note: You must have a sales receipt from an Authorized  
TAPCO Dealer to qualify for a warranty repair.  
Lonely? Looking for that special someone?  
Do you have a question about your TAPCO Mixer?
