TAPCO Blend 16 Quick-Start Guide
Before you begin, please make sure that you read the
safety instructions on page 2 of the owner’s manual (on the
supplied CD-ROM).
The Blend 16 mixer is perfect for small to medium-sized live
sound reinforcement applications, keyboards and synths,
video, and project studio applications.
The USB port on the Blend 16 makes it easy to get audio
from your mixer to your computer-based DAW. And we’ve
included a CD-ROM with the full version of Tracktion, our
easy-to-use multitrack recording and sequencing software
(for the PC or Mac). Refer to the installation instructions on the
software CD-ROM to install Tracktion on your computer.
This quick-start guide includes a list of features, a getting-started guide on the inside pages, and a typically
lovely hookup diagram for a stereo PA system.
