The Cloud CX263 is an easy-to-use, three-zone, rack-mounting (1U) audio mixer. It combines simple control of background music with versatile microphone paging for up to three separate areas. It is suitable for use in many types of premises, including pubs, bars, clubs, shops, offices, hotels, etc.
The CX263 has six stereo line inputs and two microphone inputs. It has three separate zone outputs, in each of which one of the line inputs and the microphone inputs may be mixed together. Separate user controls for music source selection, and music and individual mic levels are provided for each zone. One of the zone outputs is stereo, making it suitable for driving a main public area where music fidelity is more important. Optional plug-in EQ cards for use with various installed-audio loudspeakers may be fitted to any or all of the three outputs.
The CX263 is directly compatible with Cloud PM Series paging microphones. Alternatively, Mic 1 input may be configured to suit most OEM paging systems: paging may be activated by voice (VOX) or short-to-ground access connections, and Mic 1 may be configured to have priority over the Mic 2 to prevent announcement clashes. Additionally, one line input may be set to have priority over any other selected 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 and RSL Series remote control plates. The CX263 may also be fitted with an optional RS-232 serial control interface; as well as allowing remote music control, the interface's command set permits remote control of other unit functions.
