Owners Manual
Safety Responsibilities and Liability
All information in this guide is meant only for the purpose of using the SLS supplied mounting equipment.
All other rigging and/or structure support including wall securing hardware is considered part of the venue
and/or end-user supplied equipment and is not addressed in this guide. SLS assumes that a working knowl-
edge of accepted rigging practices and safety will be applied to all rigging materials and practices employed.
is guide is not a comprehensive source for rigging in general. e user must assume all responsibility for
the appropriate use of SLS supplied rigging hardware and follow at a minimum all applicable laws and
regulations in force for each venue.
e weakest component determines the safety of the entire rigging assembly. Prior to securing the speaker,
always inspect all hardware components for wear, deformations, corrosion and missing or damaged parts.
Also confirm that the venue attachment points are suitably load rated for the speaker.
No information contained in this guide is intended as a warranty on the part of SLS. Anyone using this
information assumes all liability arising from it’s use. Product abuse, use of the product not in accordance
with SLS instructions or use in an application which the product has not been designed for is not covered

Using the Supplied Rigging Attachment Points
Every CDA300 is supplied with the hardware for providing three rigging attachment points. If the
CDA300 is going to be flown using this hardware, please attach the pieces as shown in the rendering
below. Each rigging hole inside diameter is .41” which will allow the use of either a 3/8” or 10mm
shackle.

Centerpoint for
attaching directly to
ceiling structures when
flown horizontally
This 2.75”W x 5”H spacing of the four insert
points will fit 3rd party wall and ceiling brackets
providing an alternative mounting solution. Use
M6 bolts no more then 20mm in length for
bracket attachment
Replace screw already in
this location with the
ones supplied with the
u-bracket
Using the Optional U-Bracket
If the CDA300 is to be mounted on a wall or flown horizontally, the optional u-bracket should be used.
Please attach as shown in the below rendering.

Using the Optional Pole Mount Bracket
The optional pole mount bracket should be attached as shown in the below rendering. This bracket is
also required if the CDA300 is to be used with it’s companion subwoofer, the SP15.

1. LF at -10dB, HF -6dB at 40kHz on-axis however response above
20kHz is limited by air absorption and DSP sampling rates in typical PA
applications.
2. Full bandwidth pink noise is applied and amplified to a level and
measured at the loudspeaker terminals - corresponding to 1 Watt as
referenced to the loudspeakers nominal impedance. SPL is measured in
an anechoic environment in the loudspeakers far field. Data is
extrapolated to 1 Meters distance from the loudspeaker.
3. Averaged from 1000Hz to 10kHz
4. AES established with ambient temperature at 22C in accordance with
AES/2-1984 standard. IEC stated in RMS voltage according to IEC 268-5
5. Cabinet rated at IEC529-IP35 and Mil Spec 810

CDA300 Processor Settings
* BW Disclaimer
Different DSPprocessor manufactures are not consistent
in their implementation of digital parametric EQs. The
SLS recommended filters will not be replicated by all
DSP devices. If the DSPdevice that is used continuously
varies the Q value of the filter depending on the +/- dB
level, the DSP will not match our settings. (Most of these
devices do not allow filter Q to be shown at all.)
