Cloud Z8MK4 General Description

Clearly better sound
System Example - Installation for 3 Zones
The diagram depicts a system where four possible
music (or other audio) sources are made available
to three or more zones (areas). Only three are
shown for clarity.
• Area 1 and Area 3 have remote control
plates installed: an RSL-6 (music level and
source) in Area 1 and an RL-1 (music level
only) in Area 3. These are wired to the Music
Control Ports for their respective zone
outputs.
• Areas 1 and 2 include LM-2 mic/line input
plates, wired to the Facility Ports of Zones
1 and 2 respectively. These would allow both
a microphone and a portable stereo music
source to be connected in those areas. The
LM-2 also provides music source and level
control; note that the LM-2 does not require
a second connection to the Music Control
Port to enable this.
• Area 3 has a Cloud PM series paging
microphone, which would be used to
originate voice messages to any of the other
areas. This uses the Cloud Digital Paging
Interface on the Z8MK4, which requires only
a single Cat 5 connection. The paging level
to Area 3 (if required) would be adjusted
on installation to be at a level that does not
cause feedback.

Block Diagram - Z8MK4 (8 zones)
The simplied block diagram above illustrates the basic signal architecture of the Z8MK4. Only the routing and logic for one zone output is shown.
The architecture of the Z4MK4 is identical, the only difference being the number of zone outputs.
• An existing building-wide paging system can be connected to the “analogue”
paging mic input, and use the contact-closure access connector to page to any
zone. The Digital Paging Interface will take priority in the event of simultaneous
paging from the two systems.
