(relevant) products, and also with numerous discontinued products. RL plates adjust the signal level in an audio channel of a Cloud device, and thus allow audio volume in an area to be controlled locally. RSL plates provide the same volume control function as RL plates, but additionally allow remote selection of music source, when used in conjunction with Cloud devices that have multiple line inputs.

* These models require VCA cards to be installed before they can be used with remote control plates. Full installation instructions are provided with the VCA card kit, and can also be found in the Installation Guide for the model. RL-1, RSL-4, RSL-6 Installation Guide V1.0...
An RL-1/1A may be wired in parallel to more than one channel of an amplifier or zoner, but note that the “law” of the control will differ from that obeyed when it is used with a single channel.
RL plates: When adding RL-1/1A remote control plates, it will generally be necessary to disable the front panel music level control, so that volume may be adjusted only by the plate. On most units, this is done by operating a rear panel push-button switch.

Guide for the specific product to which they are connecting the plates. This will give full details of the configuration procedure. If necessary, Installation Guides for all products can be found at www.cloud.co.uk. On multi-channel (or multi-zone) devices, the configuration changes necessary for remote control are always per-channel or per-zone.
RSL plates: These always require twin-core screened cable. The use of crimp ferrule-type terminals is recommended for the cable terminations as this will provide a much more reliable long-term connection. Recommended maximum cable length is 100 m (328 ft.)
