    12. Servicing — The user should not attempt to service the SP2400 beyond those means described in this operating manual. All other servicing should be referred to the Mackie Service Department. 13. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

    Note: This illustration demonstrates a typical stereo application using a single SP2400. Each channel is assigned the same address with the AMP ADDRESS switches (Zone A is Master and Zone B is Slave). This allows the front panel buttons, and connected remote controls, to control both sides.

  • Page 8 OFF button is pressed, the Local Mic is heard in both zones. When Inputs 1-4 are pressed, the selected input is heard in both zones. Zones A and C are assigned the same AMP ADDRESS, and connecting the RS485 terminals between the two zones allows the front panel buttons and the remote controls to affect both zones.
  • Page 9 Zones A and B, to be used when the divider is removed between the two zones. Both Zones on the SP2400 are assigned the same AMP ADDRESS, so when “OFF” is selected on the SP2400, the DX8 signal at the Mic/Line Input is routed to the SP2400 outputs. The local input sources (Tuner and CD 5-Disc Changer) or the Global Background Music via the Expansion I/O can be routed to the SP2400 outputs by selecting 1, 2, or 4 on the SP2400 front panel.

    D: Room Combining—Zones In this example, a dividing wall can be extended to divide the room into two. The Mackie Industrial DX8 is used to route independent source selections to each zone (Preset 1 on the Remote Controls), or common input source selections for both zones (Preset 2 on the Remote Controls).

    If there is a jukebox, use Input 4 in Program Priority mode (set the AMP ADDRESS switch #7 UP to activate). When a signal appears at Input 4 it overrides the selected Input source.

    Up to 16 SP2400s can be connected together with 32 independent zones (each zone assigned a unique AMP ADDRESS), or up to 32 SP2400s in stereo operation (each SP2400 assigned the same AMP ADDRESS on both sides, with one side assigned Master and the other side Slave).

    AC Power Considerations Each SP2400 draws an average of 6 amps of AC line current (@ 120VAC) when fully loaded and playing music with a relatively high crest factor. Voltage Conversion The SP2400 can be configured to operate at 115V AC or 230V AC. See Appendix C for instructions on how to change the operating voltage configuration.

  • Page 18: Using Inputs 1-4

    Program Priority can be activated on Input 4 by setting AMP ADDRESS switch #7 UP. When a signal appears at Input 4, it overrides the other three inputs. When the signal stops, the SP2400 switches back to the previously selected input source, fading it in smoothly.

  • Page 19: Using The 3-Band Eq

    Using the 3-Band EQ This equalizer is applied to the selected program source from Inputs 1-4, whether it is a local source or remote source (via the EXPANSION IN/OUT bus). This equalizer does not affect the paging mic or the local MIC/LINE INPUTS, which each have their own 2-band EQ controls.

    3100) that is available for the SP2400, which is used to sense the ambient noise level in the room. Set the AMP ADDRESS switch #8 up to enable the ambient mic, otherwise leave the switch down. The ambient mic provides an “ear” for the micro- processor to gauge the ambient noise in the room and adjust the gain of the paging mic accordingly.

    Another option that is available is to connect another amplifier into the system. Simply use a Y-cord at the PRE OUT jack to split the signal between the AMP IN jack and the input jack on an external amplifier. LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTs...
