Powered Arrayable Loudspeakers and Subwoofers; aka “The Shizz”
Ok, so you’ve got the big boy setup...we understand and are able to fulfill your needs here, too!
Here, the SP260 is configured using the ‘2Subs’ setup type. We connected the left and right
line-level XLR outputs of a Mackie 2404-VLZ3 mixer to the A and B XLR inputs of a Mackie SP260
Speaker Processor. Next, we connected XLR outputs 1 and 2 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker Processor
to the XLR main input of the top Mackie HDA powered arrayable loudspeaker on each side. The loop
out XLR jack of these HDAs feed the main inputs of another pair of Mackie HDA powered arrayable
loudspeakers right below them [the middle HDA on each side].
XLR outputs 3 and 4 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker Processor feed the XLR main input of the bottom
Mackie HDA powered arrayable loudspeaker on each side.
Now let’s add some low end to this beast! Connect XLR outputs 5 and 6 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker
Processor to XLR input A of the Mackie HD1801 powered subwoofer on each side.
With this setup, you might choose to reduce output to the bottom HDA if the application calls for it.
If the rig is high enough, though, these HDAs might be fine at the same output level as the top two
HDAs on each side.
The SP260’s high- and low-pass filters on output channels 1–6 may be configured to create a
crossover to optimize the subwoofers with the HDAs. The subs may be stereo or mono by properly
configuring the input sources for SP260 outputs 5 and 6. The SP260 may be used for additional room
corrective EQ and delay to align the loudspeakers and subwoofers and a limiter added for extra
protection. The only thing it can’t do is make you breakfast!
NOTE: Please refer to the loudspeaker’s owner’s manual if utilizing a setup similar to the
one shown here. There are issues of safety, weights, angles, coverage and much more
regarding systems that are flown. Installation should only be done by experienced, licensed
professionals. Improper installation may result in damage to the equipment, injury or death. Make
sure the loudspeakers and subwoofers are installed in a stable and secure way in order to avoid any
conditions that may be dangerous for persons or structures.
