The SLS-6D is a speaker cable splitter/combiner patch panel for portable and installation amplifier racks. The SLS-6D is an SLS-3 with the connectors placed on the opposite sides or panels of the enclosure. The SLS-6 is essentially three Cable Cube DISTRO/MATRIX units in a 2U rack mount panel. Using Neutrik speaker cable jumpers, the amplifier outputs conveniently patch into the rear panel. The output or front panel then combines channels A1 & A2 into a single NL4 connector providing a Bi-amp output marked 1-2. This is repeated for channels A 3-4, B 1-2, B 3-4 C 1-2 & C 3-4. Each of these Bi-amp NL4 outputs are then combined together in their respective A,B & C 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. The SLS-6D has a parallel connected NL8 that enables the user to patch a second Stage Box NL8FC cable connection into the same amplifier outputs.
An alternative use of the SLS-6 is to take an NL8 patch cable from a four channel amplifier that has an NL8 output and patch it into one of the front panel NL8 connectors that fan out into four separate NL4 connectors, (Pin 1+ & 1- only) for 4 full range speakers for each group.
