The Cloud CX261 is a 1U rack-mounting audio mixer offering simple control of high-quality background music - including a front-panel 3.5mm jack input for easy connection to laptop, portable MP3 connection, or similar - with a host of flexible paging options.
Any one of six stereo line inputs can be mixed with one or two microphone inputs. Independent control of music and mic levels is provided and may be operated remotely. Whilst the main output is stereo, mono output -suitable for providing MOH (Music On Hold) to a telephone system - can be simply configured.
Either mic input may be activated by voice (VOX) or short-to-ground access connections, 'MIC 1' may have priority over 'MIC 2', one line input may have priority over any other selected to facilitate connection of a digital sound store or similar device.
'MIC1' may also be configured (with separate gain control) for direct connection to a telephone system, enabling paging messages to originate from any extension. The unit is compatible with standard Cloud remote control panels - RL1 (music level) and RSL6 (music level and source selection).
