14. Edit LEDs

There are a total of eight Edit LEDs on the SP260:
two input and six output. Edit LEDs illuminate blue
when engaged. See Mute / Edit Buttons [13].
Have you ever been at the airport when it's dark
outside? You know the blue lights lined up on runways?
The color of these Edit LEDs look quite similar to those
of the airport runway's lights.

15. Mute LEDs

There are a total of eight Mute LEDs on the SP260:
two input and six output. Mute LEDs illuminate red
when engaged. See Mute / Edit Buttons [13].

16. Meters

These seven-segment meters display the input and
output signal levels OR the gain reduction amount for
each output's limiter, depending on the selected VU
Meter mode. Detailed information may be found on
page 21 [VU Meter section].
These meters should remain green with the
occasional bump into the yellow zone. If there is too
much yellow (or any red clipping), lower the mixer's
Main L/R fader until it's gone. You might check the
gain and EQ settings on the SP260 input and output
channels, as well.
Input meters (starting at the top) show:
Clip, +15 dBu, +9 dBu, +3 dBu, 0 dBu, –10 dBu and
–20 dBu.
Output meters (starting at the top) show:
Limit, Clip, +15 dBu, +9 dBu, +3 dBu, 0 dBu and –15 dBu
when in Level mode.
If the VU meter mode is Limit, the output meters show
Limit, 0 dB, –3 dB, –6 dB, –9 dB, –12 dB and –15 dB.

17. USB

The SP260 may be controlled and programmed
using a Windows-based PC. Go to www.mackie.com
to download the free application and driver. Here you
will also find presets for typical Mackie PA system
setups.
Simply connect a USB cable from the SP260 to the
computer in order to control all parameters of the
processor via computer.
