I can imagine that it was a typical Woodinville, Washington rainy
day when Greg came up with the idea of making quality sound
reinforcement equipment at prices that any player could afford. In
1969 this idea grew into a company called Tapco, and would
eventually change its name and grow into one of the most respected
music gear manufacturers in the world. Greg was none other than Greg
Mackie, and his company would later become Mackie (a division of
Loud Technologies). For many years now, artists, recording
engineers, and producers have relied on the bulletproof Mackie line
of products for recording and live sound applications.Recently
Mackie decided to revisit the Tapco name, and bring out a new line
of lower priced products with the same attention to quality that has
made them an industry leader for over a decade. Tapco is by no means
an extensive line, but rather just a small line of well designed
affordable products. The product we are going to focus on in this
review is from Tapco's "Juice" series - the 1400 watt "J1400" power
amp from Tapco.
