"I am really excited to work on the Tapco brand and to have the opportunity to reach young artists and music enthusiasts of all kinds," said Boudreau. "With Loud resources behind Tapco, we are able to offer entry-level audio products of unparalleled quality. We have great things in store for 2007."
New in 2007 for Tapco are two sound reinforcement products - the Thump TH-15A active loudspeaker and the Series 69 passive loudspeaker - as well as one recording product, the Link.FireWire 4x6 audio interface.
Designed by the same team that produced Mackie's best-selling compact active loudspeakers, the Thump TH-15A active loudspeaker's two-way bass reflex (ported) design provides accurate response, from 20kHz all the way down to 40Hz. All-new Class D circuitry drives its custom 15" woofer. Additional onboard electronics include full system protection and 3-band EQ with swept midrange for maximum clarity.
Designed by Loud's touring sound veterans, Tapco's Series 69 Loudspeakers deliver "professional quality at an affordable price". For maximum portability, they are made as compact as possible without sacrificing performance or efficiency, says the company. Series 69 loudspeakers feature premium drivers, PVC vinyl-covered wood enclosures, custom-moulded thermoplastic edge bumpers, and a big sound.
The Series 69 family includes the 6912, 12" two-way system; the 6915, 15" two-way system; the 6925, dual 15" two-way system, and the 6918s 18-" passive subwoofer.
