Cloud DCM1 Manual

CLOUD DCM1 & DCM1e
DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ZONE MIXERS

General Description

The Cloud DCM1 and DCM1e are analogue multi-zone audio
mixers. A digital control system, using a front-panel LCD display
and a simple, minimal set of controls replace the relatively large
number of switch and rotary controls found on conventional units,
yet provide far greater flexibility of configuration than would be
possible with such units. The mixers provide a simple, reliable and
elegant method of providing audio to multiple zones in retail outlets,
bars, hotels, schools, conference centres, offices, factories and other
types of premises. Once configured, the mixers allow zones to be
combined or separated as space utilisation of the building demands.
The mixers allow connection of eight line level sources, and provide
eight zone outputs, two of which are stereo. Any source can be
routed to any zone, and the music level in each zone can be adjusted
independently. A wide range of configuration options is available to
the installer to optimise the system to the premises and the client's
requirements, such as restricting source selection in some zones or
defining minimum and maximum volume levels.

A range of optional remote plates is available to permit music
control in any or all zones and external inputs from mic and line
sources. (See separate datasheets for Cloud accessories CDR-1,
LE-1, BE-1, ME-1.) While the DCM1 and DCM1e are also directly
compatible with the Cloud PM range of paging microphones, most
third-party paging systems are easily integrated. In common with all
Cloud installed audio products, a Music Mute input is provided to aid
compliance with local Fire Regulations.
The DCM1 has been designed to be completely self-contained, and
can be fully configured and controlled without a computer of any
kind. However, a software Configuration Tool is available (a free
download) to enable configuration from a computer if this method
is preferred.
The DCM1e greatly extends the DCM1's functionality by adding an
Ethernet interface and an internal web server, allowing control from
a smartphone, laptop, tablet device or computer via a web browser.
