Chapter 1: Installing the SLX300
The SLX300 SpeakerLinX is a high power, networked audio amplifier. This amplifier may be
mounted any distance from the speaker location; however, longer speaker wires may result in
some distortion of the audio waveform. In addition to being a very capable amplifier, the SLX300
can also function as the zone or room controller and has a built-in web server which can provide
a user interface. Each zone of audio must have at least one SpeakerLinX. Combining the amplifier
and room controller, and connecting local audio sources to the SpeakerLinX minimizes the amount
of cabling required to accomplish multiple functions.

NOTE: The SLX300 and the SLX300i are identical except for the power input. The
SLX300 is the 120 Volt, US model, and the SLX300i is the 240 Volt, International
model.
