Using the SPLinker Sound Palette
Controller
The RS485 connection can also be used to
connect the SP1200 to a computer loaded with the
SPLinker software application. The PC-compatible
computer must have an RS485 port to properly
connect to the SP1200. It may be necessary to
install an RS485 interface card, or use an RS232
port with an RS232-to-RS485 converter.
The SPLinker is a PC-based graphical interface to
provide real-time monitoring and control (for up to
32 zones when used with SP2400s). It provides
individual program source selection and volume
control for each zone. Select boxes are located at
the bottom of each zone for selecting multiple
zones. All selected zones can then be modified at
the same time in the Multiple settings box located
on the right-hand side of the screen.

The
RS485
connection can also be used to
interface with common third-party control systems.
Contact the third-party provider or Mackie Industrial
Technical Support to determine if your control
system is compatible with the SP1200.
Upgrading the Software
From time to time, Mackie Industrial will release
upgrades for the internal operating software in the
SP1200. This can be downloaded from our website
(www.mackieindustrial.com) to a PC-compatible
computer. Use the serial port on the computer to
connect to internal connector on the SP1200's CPU
board to transfer the data to the on-board flash
memory. Instructions will be provided when
upgrades are available.
