SP1200
Sound Palette Series
The SP1200 is a single-channel music controller
and amplier designed for installations requiring
high performance, exible features and ease of use.
Four independent stereo, line-level inputs are pro-
vided for connection of standard music sources, such
as CD, Tape, Satellite Receiver, etc. Each input is terminated to dual RCA connectors. An integral AGC circuit automatically compensates for level differences
between input sources. A three-band EQ is provided
for equalization of the music sources. Music Input 1
is buffered to a stereo RCA output that may be used
for music-on-hold or other external applications.
One input is provided for a paging microphone,
and is terminated to both Phoenix-type and XLR connectors. Two-band EQ, variable gain, and switchable
phantom power are provided. A variable VOX sensitivity control allows precise setting of trigger threshold
points. Page Mic activation and music ducking can also
be activated by using the supplied contact terminals.
A second microphone input is provided for voice
reinforcement. This input is terminated to a Phoenixtype connector and offers two-band EQ, variable gain,
and switchable phantom power. The gain of this input
is independent of the master levels set for the music
sources. Settings of the microphone and music levels
are retained in memory, allowing adjustment of one
source without affecting the other.
Operator controls provide four music source selec-
tor buttons and one OFF button. LED ladder display
indicates relative level setting. Push buttons are provided for volume UP and DOWN. All control setting
changes can be made from optional remote controls.
A three-wire remote control bus allows connection of
up to 10 remotes on three conductor cable.
The output section of the SP1200 offers 200 watts
of RMS power into either 70/100 Volt lines or into 8-ohm
loads. The transformerless design of the amplier
allows frequency response to 20 Hz, without the distortion and losses typical of conventional designs.
Many of the SP1200’s functions are under micro-
processor control and management. An RS485 port is
provided on the rear panel to allow interconnection
with industry-standard control systems. Up to eight
SP1200 units may be interconnected, to share four
music sources and control data.
This Mackie Designs product is covered by an
exclusive, one-time, NO FAULT repair policy in addition to a three-year limited warranty.
