Cloud DCM-1e - 8-Zone Digitally Controlled Mixer with Ethernet control
The DCM-1 is an analogue audio multi-zone mixer. A digital control system, using an LCD display and a simple, minimal set of controls, replaces the relatively large number of switch and rotary controls found on conventional units, yet provides 'far greater flexibility of configuration than would be possible with such units'. Designed to provide a simple and elegant method of providing audio in a number of different zones, typically the various areas of shops, bars, hotels, schools, conference centres, offices, factories and even private residences, a single DCM-1 can provide a practical multi-zone audio system, but system flexibility and ease of operation will be greatly enhanced by the addition of optional remote controls and local input modules in the various zones, using standard CAT5 cabling with RJ45 connectors, perhaps installed in the building by other infrastructure installers. The DCM-1 has been accredited by Crestron which allows full integration with all Crestron control systems.This is a highly sophisticated design, and a full description is not possible here. In order to appreciate the full potential of the system, it is recommended that the user manual is downloaded from www.cloud.co.uk. What follows is an overview.
LE-1B, LE-1W, LE-1MB, LE-1MW Remote Input Plate - Line level
Like the ME-1 there are four versions of the LE-1 input plate. They provide connection for an unbalanced, stereo line-level audio source, such as a portable music centre, laptop, radiomic receiver or similar. They connect to one of the extension ports of the DCM-1 with a single, four-pair, screened, Cat5 cable, see Cat5 F/UTP. Multiple LE-1s may be 'daisy-chained' together to provide input points at different locations in the same zone. Signals applied to plates wired in this way will be summed together. An internal gating-circuit on each plate automatically 'disconnects' any chained plates which are not in use, to minimise noise contribution. The inputs are electronically buffered to minimise noise and interference pickup, and input gain is locally adjustable with a preset control. Both dual RCA (phono) sockets for sources with a nominal level of 0dB, and a 3.5mm stereo jack socket for sources with a higher input level of around +8dB are provided; +/-12dB of gain trim adjustment is available on the faceplate. Once connected, any audio connected to an LE-1 is treated as any other source and can be routed to any zone in the same manner.LE-1B and LE-1W are designed for use in the UK with dimensions of 145 x 85 x 30mm (WxHxD), whilst the LE-1MB and LE-1MW are designed for use in the EU with dimensions of 100 x 50 x 30mm (WxHxD). Note: Depth quoted is from plate to rear, not including protruding input connectors on face plate.
BE-1B, BE-1W, BE-1MB, BE-1MW Remote Input Plate - Line level
Similar to the LE-1, the BE-1 provides a balanced, stereo line-level input, for use with professional audio equipment such as mixing consoles, or broadcast equipment. Like the LE-1, it connects to one of the DCM-1 extension ports with a single, four-pair, screened, Cat5 cable, see Cat5 F/UTP. Multiple BE-1s may be 'daisy-chained' in the same way as the LE-1s and the two types of plate may be intermixed. Two 3-pin female XLR connectors are fitted. Once connected, any audio connected to the BE-1 is treated as any other source and can be routed to any zone in the same manner.LE-1B and LE-1W are designed for use in the UK with dimensions of 145 x 85 x 33mm (WxHxD), whilst the LE-1MB and LE-1MW are designed for use in the EU with dimensions of 100 x 50 x 33mm (WxHxD).
PM4, PM8, PM12, PM16 Paging Microphones
These consoles connect, singly or in multiples, directly to the DCM-1, again using unscreened Cat5 cable, to provide paging to separate zones. Please see Cloud Digital Paging Microphones.
