SL-2
The SL-2 is a two slot-in wireless receiver integration system that eas-
ily mounts to the top panel of any 8-Series mixer-recorder. It accepts
UniSlot and SuperSlot™ wireless receivers from a variety of manu-
facturers. Power to the SL-2 and receivers is supplied by the 8-Series
mixer-recorder – no external DC connector is needed on the SL-2.
Analog or digital audio is sent from the receivers into the mixer-record-
er via the expansion port, reducing messy cabling for power and audio
connectivity.
The SL-2 offers antenna distribution to slot-in receivers, spreading out
the placement of antennas for better RF performance. Additionally
the SL-2 allows for control of smart antennas and includes two ltered
antenna outputs to external receivers via MCX ports. The rear panel
of the SL-2 is equipped with two TA3 connectors for an additional four
inputs of AES3 audio and two 4-pin Hirose DC Outputs, each supply-
ing up to 500 mA.
Up to eight channels of audio can be routed from the SL-2 to the 833.
The eight channels can be comprised of audio from dual or quad
channel slot in receivers and/or the four AES inputs.
The SL-2 mounts to the 833 via the multi-pin expansion port locat-
ed on the top panel. Please refer to the SL-2 User Guide for panel
descriptions and installation instructions.
WARNING! It is important to turn off power to the SL-2 slot prior to
removing and inserting receivers to avoid potential hardware damage.
Slot power can be turned off in the Menu>System>Expansion Port
menu, Menu>SuperSlot>Options>Slot Power, or by turning the 8-Se
