EMC considerations
The Cloud 46-50 fully conforms to the relevant electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and is technically well behaved;
you should experience no operational problems and under normal circumstances, no special precautions need to be taken.
If the unit is to be used within close proximity to potential sources of HF disturbance such as high power communications
transmitters, radar stations and the like, the performance of the mixer may be reduced; we suggest that the microphone cable
screen be connected to the shell of the XLR type connector and the line input leads are kept as short as possible.
Ground loops
If, despite your best efforts, the completed sound system ‘hums’ you probably have a ‘ground loop’. The offending signal source
can often be identied by setting the volume control to minimum, then disconnecting the input leads (both left & right channels)
on each line input until the ‘hum’ disappears. This problem is often caused by terminating a screened input cable into a signal
source positioned a signicant distance from the mixer. A good way of avoiding this potential problem is to use signal sources
(typically ‘consumer’ equipment) that are double insulated with no connection to the mains supply earth. If a signal feed were
derived from a second mixer (a club or microphone mixer for example) it would be perfectly normal to expect this to be
earthed; we suggest that a transformer be used to isolate the signal and prevent a noisy loop (see page 13).
