Product Overview
Offering sophisticated EQ, crossover, dynamics processing and system protection, the Mackie SP260 2x6 Speaker Processor provides complete system optimization for both passive and powered systems.
Five different operating modes cover a wide range of routing options. Each input and output is loaded with a huge range of processing including flexible EQ, delay, mute switches and limiting solutions. You can save up to 24 user-definable presets and I/O. The versatility allows you to professionally optimize loudspeaker systems of nearly any size, and works well for both portable and permanent install situations.
The SP260 utilizes high-end 24-bit AKM® AD/DA converters with 120 dB dynamic range for class-leading sound quality. And with the front panel USB port, you can plug in your Windows laptop (not included) and have even greater control over the system and presets with the Mackie SP260 control application (available for free download at mackie.com).
