SP260 2x6 Speaker Processor
In this example, the SP260 is configured using the ‘3xStereo’ setup type. The left and right line-level
XLR outputs from a Mackie ProFX22 mixer feed the A and B XLR inputs of a Mackie SP260 Speaker
Processor. XLR outputs 1 and 2 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker Processor feed the 1 and 2 XLR inputs of a
Mackie FRS Power Amplifier. The CH 1 and CH 2 NL4 speaker outputs of the power amplifier feed the
NL4 inputs of two Mackie S525 passive loudspeakers which are located on stage.
XLR outputs 3 and 4 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker Processor feed the 1 and 2 XLR inputs of
another Mackie FRS Power Amplifier. The CH 1 and CH 2 NL4 speaker outputs of this power
amplifier feed the NL4 inputs of two Mackie S515 passive loudspeakers. These are positioned
halfway toward the rear of the venue and have delay added, so they are sync’d with the mains.
Then there are XLR outputs 5 and 6 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker Processor which feed the
1 and 2 XLR inputs of yet another Mackie FRS Power Amplifier. The CH 1 and CH 2 NL4 speaker
outputs of this power amplifier feed the NL4 inputs of two Mackie S512 passive loudspeakers which
are located in an area away from the coverage of the Mackie S525s and S515s; a beer garden,
for example. Mmmmmm, beer.
