Architect’s and Engineer’s Specification
An optional remote module shall be available for the Cloud Z4
MK4
/
Z8
MK4
and
Z4
MK3
/Z8
MK3
Zone Mixers. It shall also be compatible
with the Cloud 46-120 and 46-120
MEDIA
Zone Mixing Amplifiers. The
module shall be provided with OUTPUT and LINK RJ45 connectors to
permit connection to the host unit and other similar input modules via
screened Category 5 data cable.
The remote module shall allow the connection of i) a balanced
microphone via a 3-pin XLR connector and ii) a stereo unbalanced
audio source on both phono (RCA) connectors and a 3.5 mm dia.
3-pole jack. All connectors shall be accessible from the front of the
module. The microphone input shall have a gain control with a range
of sufficient magnitude to allow dynamic microphones of any type to
be used effectively. The stereo music input shall have a separate level
control; the phono inputs shall be capable of accepting signals with a
nominal level of 0 dBu, and the jack input signals with a nominal level
of +8 dBu. The stereo channels shall be summed into mono and mixed
with the microphone signal within the module.
A user-switchable priority facility will be provided to reduce the level
of both the music signal connected at the module and the music source
selected at the host unit for that Zone by 30 dB. It shall be possible to
modify the priority operation by internal jumpers so that the sum of
the microphone and music inputs mute the music source selected at the
host unit for that Zone.
Circuitry shall be included such that interconnected modules which do
not have microphones connected do not contribute any perceptible
noise to the output signal.
The module shall also incorporate remote controls of the rotary type
providing selection of i) music source and ii) music level, within the
host unit. It shall be possible to disable either of these functions on a
module when multiple modules are interconnected, so that only one
linked module in a Zone has control of the host unit.
The remote module shall be available in versions suitable for fitment in
standard UK, US or German electrical back boxes. The modules shall be
available in a choice of finishes.
The remote modules shall be the Cloud LM-2W (UK version, white
finish), the Cloud LM-2B (UK version, black finish), the Cloud LM-2AW
(US version, white finish), the Cloud LM-2AB (US version, black finish),
the Cloud LM-2DW (German version, white finish) and the Cloud
LM-2DB (German version, black finish).
