(typically the Fire System). The alarm output must be volt-free; if no such output is available, an intermediate relay or other isolation device must be installed between the alarm output and the Music Mute input. CX263 Installation and User Guide v1.1... -
Page 12: Setting Up & Operation
Gain & level To avoid dramatic changes in volume when switching between sources, the CX263’s music inputs are provided with preset gain trim controls ([2] on “Description of rear panel” on page 8). These vary the input sensitivity from -17.8 dBu to +6 dBu (approx. -
Page 13: Microphone Inputs
To achieve a “flat” response for either microphone input, set Paging Access Control the controls for that input to 0 dB (the ‘12 o’clock’ position). On the CX263, MIC1 input may be used for paging purposes. Paging microphones from the Cloud PM Series (and also High-pass filter the older CDPM Series) are fully compatible;... -

CDI-S200 Serial Interface Card The CDI-S200 is an optional RS-232C interface card designed specifically for use with the CX263. It can be retrofitted to the Zone Mixer at any time. It carries a 9-pin Dsub connector, which replaces the blanking plate adjacent to the mains connector on the rear panel. -
Page 16: Control Of Music Source And Level Via External Dc
Note that there is an internal 4k7 “pull-up” resistor between pin 2 and the internal +12 V rail. If pin 2 is left “floating”, this pull-up will result in full attenuation. The output impedance of the control voltage source should be low enough to overcome the effect of this resistor. CX263 Installation and User Guide v1.1... -
Page 17: Music Source
To install equalisation modules, first remove the top cover from the CX263 (6 screws). The modules plug into the four empty, white 12-pin connectors in the centre of the main PCB. (Note that as Zone 1 is stereo it has two connectors.) The connectors on the main PCB have two notches on one side only;... -
Page 18: Appendix
Music sources and levels could be set from the front panel of the mixer itself if preferred. Paging to any zone is achieved using a paging mic (such as the Cloud PM4) connected to Mic 1 input; this would typically be located somewhere other than within any one of the zones. -
Page 19: Pcb Jumper Location And Settings
PCB jumper location and settings The CX263 has various internal jumpers, the setting of which may require alteration during installation. The table below lists each switch and jumper and its purpose, together with the factory default setting. JUMPER NAME EFFECT... -
