The SLS-2 is a speaker cable splitter/combiner patch panel, primarily for installation amplifier racks. Using Neutrik speaker cable jumpers, the amplifier outputs conveniently patch into the front panel. The outputs on the rear panel then combine channels 1 & 2 into a single NL4 connector providing a Bi-amp output marked 1-2. This is repeated for channels A 3-4, B 1-2 and B 3-4. Each of these Bi-amp NL4 outputs are then combined together in their respective A & B groupings, into a single NL8 connector that can be used to feed an 8 conductor cable with an NL8FC connector allowing flexible patching of 4 full range or two Bi-amp NL4 output connectors in a stage box, by moving a single NL8 connection. An amplifier rack that has four 2 channel amplifiers with Bi-amp NL4 connector outputs when patched into the rear panel, provide all 8 full range amp channels on the front panel.
An alternative use of the SLS-2 is to take an NL8 patch cable from a four channel amplifier that uses an NL8 connector for its output and patch it into one of the SLS-2 rear panel NL8 connectors which then split or fan out into four separate NL4 connectors (Pin 1+ & 1- only) on the front panel for full range speaker cable connectivity.
