SP260 2x6 Speaker Processor
Bi-amped Passive Full-Range Loudspeakers with Subwoofers
Here’s a fun setup! In this example, the SP260 is configured using the ‘Subs’ setup type.
The left and right line-level 1/4" outputs from a Mackie 1604-VLZ3 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 high inputs of two bi-amplified passive loudspeakers.
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 low inputs of the two aforementioned bi-amplified passive loudspeakers.
XLR outputs 5 and 6 of the Mackie SP260 Speaker Processor feed the 1 and 2 XLR inputs of a third
Mackie FRS Power Amplifier. The CH 1 and CH 2 NL4 speaker outputs of this power amplifier feed input
A of two passive subwoofers.
The SP260’s high- and low-pass filters on the output channels are configured to create a crossover
so that outputs 1 and 2 of the SP260 deliver the high frequencies to the loudspeakers, outputs 3 and 4
deliver the low frequencies to the same loudspeakers and outputs 5 and 6 deliver the lowest frequencies
to the passive subwoofers. The subs may be stereo or mono by properly configuring the input sources for
SP260 outputs 5 and 6.
