PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Mackie SP260 2 x 6 Loudspeaker System Processor offers sophisticated EQ, crossover, dynamics processing, and system protection. It provides complete system optimization for both passive and powered systems. Five different operating modes cover a wide range of systems. Each input and output is loaded with a huge range of processing including flexible EQ, crossover, delay, and limiting solutions. It delivers everything you need to professionally optimize loudspeaker systems of nearly any size.

Professional Sound Quality

The SP260 is specifically designed for the professional audio engineer. If you know your Butterworths from your Bessels, or if Linkwitz-Reily is your middle name, the SP260 gives you total control over every single parameter. You can adjust the system based on the venue and gear and be rest assured of achieving premium sound quality. With high-end AKM AD/DA converters with 120 dB dynamic range and a DSP engine and algorithms, you can count on superior sound quality every time.

Simple Setup

You can easily choose from a range of pre-configured system setups to assign the correct inputs; name outputs and provide the starting crossover point for your system. This saves time when dealing with complicated systems that involve zone control, cry rooms, or with bi- or tri-amped loudspeakers. From there, use all the available input and output processing to optimize your system for the venue. Once that's done, you can easily save the setup in one of the 24 available presets. This is useful when you use your system in the same place often or switch between different sets of gear, depending on the venue. Downloadable presets have been created for popular systems that give you a huge head start for setup. Plus, with the ability to link inputs or any combination of outputs, you can save serious time adjusting parameters that you intend to repeat on other channels.

Powerful Desktop Software

With the SP260 Control Application, you have total control over your system from an easy-to-use interface. Just plug in your Windows laptop via the convenient front panel USB port to harness the power of the app. The software auto-detects the SP260 and shows the current settings. Each and every SP260 feature is controllable using the app, which features a high-contrast design suitable for low-lit areas like the front of the house. The smart design of the app is built around maximum workflow, so all processing elements for any input or output are viewable and controllable from a single screen. You can even manage and store your presets on the PC for later implementation. This allows you to setup for shows ahead of time or adjust things you'd like to improve for the next show.

A Complete System Solution

Passive, powered, bi-amped, tri-amped, delay stacks, fill stacks, cry rooms, and balcony clusters. Everything is manageable with the SP260. Getting total control over your system and sounding professional has never been easier. The SP260 is a potent piece that suits and protects your powered or passive PA.
