Sound Devices says its new SL-6 powering and wireless system for its 688 mixer/recorder is now shipping.

The optional SL-6 accessory is designed to streamline linking between the 688 and wireless by providing integration for up to three dual-channel, slot-in receivers. When combined with SuperSlot-compatible receivers, the SL-6 offers wireless receiver control and monitoring direct from the 688 mixer, in addition to its already impr essive power and antenna distribution.

The SL-6 attaches directly to the 688’s top panel. With its NP1 battery slot, USB charging port, two 12-V isolated outputs and two non-isolated direct battery outputs, the SL-6 is an ideal powering hub for peripheral devices. The SL-6 features Sound Devices’ SuperSlot technology, regarded as the industry’s first non-proprietary, open wireless control and interfacing standard. SuperSlot is the result of Sound Devices’ collaboration with a number of leading wireless manufacturers, including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Wisycom and Audio Ltd.

Here are the specs.
