Important Safety Notices
Read these warnings, heed all warnings, and keep for future reference.
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
» CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose
this appliance to rain or moisture. Equipment must not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, must be placed on the equipment.
• The mains socket outlet must provide a Class 1 Protective Earthing Connection
where the outlet has a protective earth (ground) connection.
• This device uses a polarized, or grounding-type plug. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug. A polarizing plug has two blades with one wider than the
other, A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or third prong is provided for safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
• The mains plug or appliance connector shall be used as the disconnect
device, so the mains plug or appliance connector should always remain
readily operable.
• Audio outputs - Use “Class II Wiring” speaker cables.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance to the
manufacturers instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves
or other apparatuses (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

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.
CONNECTIONS AND INDICATORS
The SLX300 has connections for the following:
• 10/100Mb Ethernet (RJ45)
• Two +4 dBu Stereo Balanced Audio Inputs (3.5mm, 2 x 3 pin Phoenix-style)
• Two +4 dBu Stereo Balanced Audio Outputs (3.5 mm, 2 x 3 pin Phoenix-style)
• Two Stereo Speaker Outputs (7.5mm, 2 x 2 pin Phoenix-style)
• IEC Power Cord Inlet (according to US or International model ordered)
• StreamNet EIM (RJ45)
• Monitoring Jack (1/4-inch, on front)

ethernet ConneCtion
The 10/100 Ethernet connector allow connection to a TCP/IP network that is setup
to run StreamNet. Using a standard (straight through) Category-5 or Category-6
Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet port on the SLX300 to an available port on
your network router or switch.
eim ConneCtion (eXpanSion interfaCe moduLe)
Using a standard (straight through) Category-5 or Category-6 Ethernet cable,
connect the EIM port on the SLX300 to any EIM compatible accessory. This includes BluePort, KeyLinX, IRLinX, any Audio Port, or EIM enabled external amplifiers.
» NOTE: The EIM splitter is required to install a KeyLinX or IRLinX.
It is shipped in the same box with the KeyLinX and IRLinX.
Speaker ConneCtionS
Connect the left/right speaker audio outputs to the intended speakers. Use the
supplied 2-pin, 7.5mm screw cage connectors to adapt your cable to the output
plugs. Each speaker connector has an LED which is normally off, but turns red
when the related corresponding channel experiences a fault.
BaLanCed audio ConneCtionS
Balanced analog audio input and output allows for the use of longer cables while
reducing susceptibility to external noise. Use the supplied 3-pin, 3.5mm screw
cage connectors to adapt your cable to the input plugs.
The inputs allow external devices to supply audio to the SLX300 which is amplified
for output on the stereo speaker outputs. The audio is also encoded within the
SLX300 for access by other devices in the StreamNet network.
Balanced audio outputs can be used to connect to other amplifiers and audio
devices.
