Redefining the Term “Built Like a Tank”

By Sweetwater on June 5, 2008
Redefining the Term “Built Like a Tank”

A lot of gear gets marketed as being “Built Like a Tank,” but few actually back it up with actions. Over the years, there have been countless stories about Mackie products that survive just about anything. But check out this awesome video on YouTube that proves that the TAPCO Blend 6 mixer might well deserve a place in Mackie’s hall of fame. In the video, the Blend 6 is subject to the following:

  • Is run over by a huge truck
  • Gets set on fire in true Beavis & Butthead fashion
  • Is used to drive a nail
  • Gets slam-dunked

Check out the video and see for yourself that the Blend 6 not only survives, but is still able to pump out audio to some great-looking TAPCO Studio Monitors. Trust us, comrades, it’s a blast!
