The Polsen SP-260 Rackmount Stereo Distribution Splitter 1RUroutes line-level audio signals from two stereo sources, like a mixing board or playback device, to six pairs of stereo amps, powered speakers, or headphone amplifiers. Send the audio from a DVD player or home theater unit to every room in your home, restaurant, or office. Use the SP-260 to create six zones and select between two stereo input channels to route audio to each stereo zone. Every channel on the SP-260 has a dedicated volume control, enabling you to set a different volume in every zone.

The SP-260 is equipped with balanced XLR inputs and outputs that ensure an audio signal that's free of distortion caused by interference, even with long cable runs. For control over audio quality, the SP-260 has LED level indicators that display the signal's volume for all input and output channels. With a rugged steel construction and internal power supply, the unit is well suited to withstand constant use and the rigors of the road.

• The SP-260 features inputs for two audio sources, like a mixing board or a DVD player, and allows you to send those signals to six pairs of powered speakers or stereo amplifiers.
• Create the audio zones you need for a conference, office, home, or restaurant, and send the preferred audio signal to each zone.

• When you’re running cables between audio devices, a balanced signal is the way to go. Balanced XLR inputs and outputs ensure a clean audio signal free of interference, even if your cables run past other electrical devices or wiring.

• The SP-260 lets you individually control the volume of the two input signals and the output volume for each one of the six zones. For example, you can keep the output level higher for a dance floor and lower for the restaurant area—so diners can comfortably converse.
• Each channel has an LED meter, so you can push the maximum volume and avoid clipping.

• Each channel has a stereo/mono selector. Stereo mode delivers stereo tracks to the selected zones. The mono mode sums the L/R channels to output a mono signal that can be used to monitor audio tracks that were recorded on separate channels, like dialogue.
• Mono mode is also useful for piping sound to large areas that need more than two speakers, like a theater or meeting area. Instead of hearing half of a stereo mix from each speaker, everyone can hear the summed sound from all speakers.

• The SP-260 has integrated rack ears that are compatible with most 19" equipment racks, great for permanent install or for traveling to conventions and meetings where audio zones need to be set up quickly and efficiently.
• The rugged steel construction makes the SP-260 road-ready and able to stand up to travel and constant use.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this microphone work with cell phone?

A: Yes, the Polsen MVS-5 can be used with adapters to make it compatible for use with a smartphone. The adapter needed depends on the type of phone and its connector. The Rode SC4 (B&H # ROSC4) or Saramonic SR-UC201 (B&H # SASRUC201) will convert the mic's 3.5mm TRS plug to 3.5mm TRRS, which is a standard connector for many mobile devices. Either adapter will enable connection to a phone with a 3.5mm TRRS input. Additional adapters can then be attached onto the TRRS adapter. If you have an iPhone, attach an Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APLAADAP). If you have an Android phone with USB-C, you can use a Comica Audio CVM-SPX-UC Adapter (B&H # COCVMSPXUC) or similar adapter.

Q: 2. Does this provide plenty of power to 250 or 600 ohms power without the feeling that I need a higher power amp?

A: The specs on the ART HeadAmp 6 show 150mw with headphones of 8 or 600 ohms. It also states much higher power (500mw) with 32 ohm headphones. One must also consider: 1- the headphone sensitivity specification, which will tell you how loud a headphone is, based on the power applied. 2- the transients in whatever it is you are listening to; large transients requires much more power. see below article of explanation: https://www.audeze.com/blogs/technology-and-innovation/sensitivity-impedance-and-amplifier-power
