General Description
The Cloud Z4II and Z8II are multi-zone, rack-mounting (3U) audio
mixers. They combine simple control of background music with
versatile microphone paging for up to eight separate areas. They are
suitable for use in many types of premises, including pubs, bars, clubs,
shops, ofces, hotels, etc.
Both models have six stereo line inputs and three microphone inputs,
one of which is congured specically for use with paging mics. The
Z4II has four separate mono zone outputs, and the Z8II eight; apart
from the number of supported zones, the models are identical. The
front panel provides separate controls for music source selection,
music level and two mic levels in each zone. Bose® EQ cards may be
tted to any or all outputs.
The Z4II and Z8II are directly compatible with Cloud PM Series
paging microphones; alternatively, the paging mic input can be
congured to suit most OEM paging systems. Zone selection for
paging is via short-to-ground access connections, and each zone may
be independently congured for music ducking, triggered either by
the access port or VOX control. The ducking feature has selectable
release times. The paging mic has priority over the other mic inputs
(Mic 1 and Mic 2). Paging mic level to each zone is set with a recessed
front panel preset control.
When Mic1 and/or Mic 2 are in use, music ducking can also be
enabled on a per-zone basis; further, Mic 1 may be set have priority
over Mic 2 to prevent announcement clashes. Additionally, Line 6
input may be set to have priority over any other selected music
source in any zone, to facilitate connection of a digital sound store
or similar device.
Music level only, or music level and source selection may be
controlled remotely in each zone if wished, using standard Cloud
RL-1 and RSL-6 remote control plates. Each zone section of the
Z4II and Z8II is also provided with a multi-purpose facility port. The
main purpose of this port is to connect optional remote input plates,
which allow mic and/or line level sources located in the zone – such
as local mics, DJ consoles, laptops, MP3 player docks, etc. - to be
routed to the zone’s audio system. Various options are available to
congure what priorities sources connected via the facility port have
relative to the unit’s primary sources. The facility port can also be
used as a general purpose, balanced, line level, auxiliary zone input.
