SuperSlot
When combined with Scorpio, the SL-2 and SL-6 SuperSlot wireless
accessories offer integrated control of SuperSlot compatible receiv-
ers, monitoring, powering, and RF distribution for multiple channels of
wireless audio.
Selecting the SuperSlot menu item (or shortcut Meter+HP) navigates
directly to the Rx Overview screen. This screen varies based on which
SuperSlot accessory is attached to Scorpio.
See SL-2 Receiver Overview and SL-6 Receiver Overview for more
details.
The SuperSlot menu is grayed out and inaccessible unless either a
Sound Devices SL-2 Dual SuperSlot Wireless Module or a SL-6 Power-
ing and Wireless System is attached to the Scorpio.
The SL-2 or SL-6 Receiver Slot Power or the 8-Series power must be
cycled after performing any action that causes a receiver to reboot.
Powering receivers on and off from the receiver’s user interface is not
supported.
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 Scor-
pio. 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 Scorpio via the multi-pin expansion port
located on the top panel. Please refer to the SL-2 User Guide for panel
descriptions and installation instructions.
WARNING! To avoid potential hardware damage, turn off power to the
SL-2 slot prior to removing and inserting receivers. Slot power can be
turned off in Menu>System>Expansion Port, Menu>SuperSlot>Op-
tions>Slot Power, or by powering off the 8-Series Mixer-Recorder.

• Audio Ltd. A10-RX
