General Description
The Cloud CX261 is a 1U rack-mounting stereo audio mixer
intended for multi-purpose areas where simple control of high-
quality background music needs to be combined with a exible range
of paging options.
The CX261 mixes any one of six stereo line inputs with one or two
microphone inputs. Separate front panel controls for music source
selection, music level and mic levels are provided. Either music level
only, or music source and level may be controlled remotely if wished
using standard Cloud RL or RSL Series remote control plates. In
addition to the main stereo output, there is a transformer-isolated
mono auxiliary output which is suitable for providing a MOH (Music
On Hold) output to a telephone system. All outputs are balanced at
line level.
Line 1’s input may be switched (on the rear panel) to an alternative
front-panel 3.5 mm jack connector, to permit convenient connection
of an MP3 player, laptop or similar portable audio source. A front
panel LED conrms its selection. This input is provided with an
independent front panel gain control and LED signal level indication.
The CX261 is fully compatible with the Cloud PM Series of paging
microphones. The mixer may also be congured to operate with
third-party paging systems: either mic input may be enabled via a
simple short-to-ground access connection. This may be bypassed if
wished, in which case the mic inputs are always active. A switchable
isolating transformer congures MIC 1 input for direct connection
to a telephone system, enabling paging messages to originate from
an extension. Mic-over-music priority (Automatic Voice-Over) may
be selected by internal jumper, and may be triggered either by the
access connector or automatically by a mic signal (VOX mode).
Additionally, MIC 1 may be set to have priority over MIC 2. Phantom
power is available at either mic input (set by internal jumper). Bi-
colour LEDs indicating signal level are tted to the rear panel to aid
mic gain adjustment.
Line Input 6 may be set to have priority over any other selected
music input to facilitate connection of a jukebox, digital sound store
or similar device. One of three release times (up to 12 seconds) may
be selected by internal jumper, to unobtrusively restore the original
music source.
EQ cards to suit a range of popular installation loudspeakers from
various manufacturers may be tted to either or both channels of
the main output. In common with most Cloud products, a Music
Mute Input is provided, which may permit compliance with local Fire
Authority regulations; the microphone inputs remain active when
the Music Mute is applied.
