BT-1 Installation Guide v1.0

4

Introduction

The BT-1 is a wireless remote audio input module for use with all Cloud products fitted with an RJ45 Facility Port or an RJ45 

Extension Port.
The BT-1 enables compatible portable devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones to stream audio wirelessly to the 
interface, and thus into the audio system of the Zone where the interface is installed.
The BT-1 is connected to the host unit’s Facility Port or Extension Port by a single Cat 5 cable. Alternatively, it may be connected 

to remote Cloud input modules such as the LM-2, LE-1 and BE-1 in “daisy-chain” fashion, these modules being connected in 

turn to the host unit. Screened Cat 5 cable and shielded RJ45 connectors should be used in all cases. If the Zone where the 

BT-1 is installed also requires RL and RSL Series remote control plates, they may be “daisy-chained” to the BT-1 instead of being 
connected to the host unit, which will simplify installation wiring in many cases.

BT-1 variants

There are two primary variants of the BT-1: the BT-1F, suitable for use with host units fitted with one or more Facility Ports, and 
the BT-1E, suitable for use with host units fitted with one or more Extension Ports. The BT-1F will route an (L+R) mono sum of 

the streamed audio to the host unit; the BT-1E routes the audio in stereo.

  Variant BT-1F may be used with the following Cloud products, which are fitted with Facility Port(s):

• 

Z4

MK4

 and Z8

MK4

 Zone Mixers

• 

Z4

MK3

 and Z8

MK3

 Zone Mixers

• 

46-120 and 46-120

MEDIA

 Zone Mixing Amplifiers

• 

MA40F, MA40T and MA40E Mini Amplifiers

  Variant BT-1E may be used with the following Cloud products, which are fitted with Extension Port(s):

• 

DCM1  

Digital Control Zone Mixer

• 

DCM1e  

Ethernet Digital Control Zone Mixer

BT-1E and BT-1F variants may be distinguished physically by an ident on the rear PCB: a black mark will be visible in one of two 
checkboxes:

• 

DCM1

: BT-1E

• 

FACILITY

: BT-1F

Additionally, the BT-1 is available in two form factors to suit either UK single-gang or US standard dual-gang electrical back 

boxes; US-size modules are denoted by a suffix ‘A’ to the Part No.
UK-size modules are available either in white (a further suffix ‘W’ to the Part No.), or black (suffix ‘B’) finish.
NOTE: Unless specifically stated otherwise, all references to “BT-1” in this Installation Guide can be taken to apply to all BT-1 

mechanical and cosmetic variants.

Mounting - mechanical

BT-1 (UK version)
The Cloud BT-1 (BT-1FB, BT-1FW, BT-1EB, BT-1EW) fits a standard UK-style single-gang electrical back box. The box used should 

have a depth of at least 35 mm.

BT-1A (US version)
The Cloud BT-1A (BT-1AFW, BT-1AEW) fits a standard US dual-gang electrical ‘J’ box in vertical orientation. The box used 

should have a depth of at least 1½”.
