CAM-16 / CAS-16 User Manual v1.0
5
General Description
The Cloud CAM-16 is a headphone distribution matrix
designed to provide headphone monitoring of up to eight
stereo sound sources at up to sixteen remote locations. The
CAM-16 has eight stereo line inputs and a balanced ‘global’
input with priority. A remote music mute facility is also
provided, that may be used to satisfy the requirements of the
Local Fire Officer.
Up to 16 RH-8 or WP-8 remote headphone stations can be
connected to the CAM-16. Both are fitted with a headphone
socket, rotary source selection switch and volume control.
The RH-8 is a small, self-contained unit intended to be
fitted to the framework of an exercise machine or to a flat
surface. The WP-8 is a wall-mounting panel version, and
fits a standard single-gang electrical back box, either flush
or surface-mounting. The WP-8 also has the provision for
connecting loudspeakers, Each headphone station is wired to
one output of the CAM-16 using standard CAT-5 cable and
RJ-45 connectors.
The CAS-16 Sub-Station provides the capacity for another
sixteen RH-8 or WP-8 headphone stations. The CAM-16
can drive up to 15 CAS-16 units, allowing a maximum of
256 outputs. The CAM-16 and the sub-stations are ‘daisy-
chained’ together, a multi-core cable being supplied with
each unit for this purpose.
The only front panel control on either unit is the power
switch. All input and output connectivity and gain controls
are on the rear panels. The units are intended to be rack-
mounted in a protected area, with only the headphone
stations available to the users.
