POLSEN SP-260 Stereo Distribution Splitter User Manual

POLSEN SP-260 Stereo Distribution Splitter

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN

Polsen’s SP-260 2×6 Stereo Distribution Switcher routes line-level audio signals from two sources, like a mixing board or playback device, to six pairs of speakers or headphones. The SP-260 allows you to distribute the sound and adjust the volume for each individual zone or location. This is ideal for offices and homes where different audio programs play in different rooms, or for large spaces that need more than two speakers. The unit is equipped with balanced XLR inputs and outputs that assure an audio signal that’s free of distortion from EMI and RFI, even with long cable runs. For control over audio quality, the SP-260 has level indicators that display signal strength for all input and output channels.

PRECAUTIONS

• Please read and follow these instructions, and keep this manual in a safe place.
• Keep this unit away from water and any flammable gases or liquids.
• Clean the unit with only a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the equipment—doing so will void the warranty, and Polsen will not be responsible for any damage.
• Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Avoid listening at high volumes for extended periods of time.
• Use only parts provided by the manufacturer.
• All images are for illustrative purposes only.

OVERVIEW

1. Input Level Indicators
   Displays the signal level of the connected devices.

2. 24 indicates a weak signal level.

3. 0 indicates a strong signal level.

4. Clip indicates a level that’s too high and distorted.

5. Output Level Indicators
   Displays the output signal level for each individual pair of speakers or headphones.

6. Input Volume Knobs
   Adjusts the volume of the devices connected to the Line 1 and Line 2 inputs. The volume should be set so the Clip indicator does not light up at the loudest moments.

7. Output Volume Knobs
   Adjusts the volume of each individual pair of connected speakers or headphones.

8. Mono/Stereo Selector
   Selects the playback mode of each individual pair of speakers or headphones.

9. In stereo mode, the green indicator lights up.

10. In mono mode, the yellow indicator lights up.
    Note : Mono mode is a good option when the input signal is stereo, but the left and right speakers are placed far apart or in different rooms. It’s also a good option when monitoring audio that’s recorded on discrete channels, like dialogue.

11. Power Switch

12. AC Power Input

13. XLR Outputs
    Use the balanced XLR outputs to connect the SP-260 to a power amplifier, powered speakers, or headphone amplifier.

14. XLR Inputs
    Use the balanced XLR inputs to connect line-level sources such as a mixing board, preamp, or playback device
