SuperSlot

When combined with 833, the SL-2 wireless accessory offers integrated control of SuperSlot compatible receivers, 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.
See SL-2 Receiver Overview for more details.
The SuperSlot menu is grayed out and inaccessible unless a Sound Devices SL-2 Dual SuperSlot Wireless Module is attached to
the 833.

The SL-2 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 easily mounts to the top panel of any 8-Series mixer-recorder. It
accepts UniSlot and SuperSlot™ wireless receivers from a variety of manufacturers. 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-recorder 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 filtered 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 supplying 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 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>Options>Slot Power, or by powering off the 8-Series
Mixer-Recorder.
