Safety Information The Cloud WP-8 contains no active electronics and thus requires no AC or DC voltage supply. Safety precautions are therefore minimal. Introduction The WP-8, part of the Cloud Headphone Distribution System, is a remote headphone station that connects to an output of either a CAM-16 Audio Distribution Matrix or a CAS-16 Audio Distribution Sub-Station, using standard CAT-5 cable.
Please check the box for damage before opening. If there is damage, please contact your Cloud agent and the shippers. The box should contain the following items: • WP-8 or WP-8A Headphone Station • 2 qty M3.5 x 20 panel fixing screws* •...
Installation Mechanical The Cloud WP-8 is designed to be wall mounted. It is the same physical size as a UK-style single-gang electrical plate and can be flush-mounted in the back box provided, or in a standard surface box with a minimum depth of 25 mm.

Connecting an external amplifier and/or speakers The WP-8 is provided with additional outputs, which can be used to drive external low-power loudspeakers directly, active loudspeakers or the line inputs of an external amplifier. Both stereo and mono configurations are possible.

The permanent outputs are continuously active. The WP-8’s external outputs can provide 150 mW of power in stereo or 300 mW in mono, into 8 ohm speakers. (The impedance of the speakers is not critical.)

Again, either stereo or mono operation may be employed. Use the wiring shown in Fig. 5 (continuous) or Fig. 6 (switched) for stereo operation, or Fig. 7 (continuous) or Fig. 8 (switched) for mono operation. WP-8 Installation Guide...
Operation The WP-8 has a 3.5 mm 3-pole jack socket for headphones . The WP-8 is suitable for headphones having an impedance of 32 ohms. We recommend the Cloud CP32 headphones for use with the headphone distribution system. The music source can be selected (from those available) with the source...
