Cloud CV8125 digital amplifier is a versatile 8-channel power amplifier of advanced design, able to drive 100 V/70 V loudspeaker systems directly. It is ideal for sound reinforcement applications in the retail, leisure, hospitality, commercial or industrial sectors. Large installations using multiple amplifiers will benefit from the amplifiers’ network connectivity: each amplifier may be configured individually, controlled and monitored remotely over a standard Ethernet network.

The CV8125 includes an on-board, user-configurable DSP permitting great flexibility of internal architecture, and a wide variety of remote control options including Ethernet, RS-232 and DC: the latter providing compatibility with standard Cloud remote control plates. It is not necessary to either connect a computer nor remove the lid to access internal jumpers to set primary configuration parameters such as input routing, which may be done using rear panel DIP switches. Where more advanced configuration options are needed, they can be easily accessed through the internal web server and an Ethernet connection to an external device.

Flexible Output
The CV8125 offers a total power output capability of 1kW, shared across the amplifier channels. This flexible approach allows a single, multi-channel amplifier, to drive loudspeaker systems differing in load size, in different areas of a building or venue, whilst optimising overall power output capability.

Energy Star
The CV8125 digital amplifier is designed to be Energy Star compliant. Automatic Power Down, triggered if an input signal is not detected for thirty minutes, reduces power consumption to just 2.5 watts. Remote control of the power down state is available via an external contact closure.

Ethernet / DSP
A full suite of user configurable DSP functionality is on-board and includes input routing, multi-band parametric room and speaker optimisation EQ, output level control and limiting, and 1.5s of assignable delay. The amplifier can be easily set up for multi-channel or parallel channel operation and bi-amping, with full control of crossover parameters.

Auxiliary Outputs
Providing the same DSP power as the normal amplifier channels, the auxiliary outputs can be configured as traditional slave outputs, or used as independent signal processing and routing channels.

Analogue and Digital Control
The CV8125 digital amplifier is compatible with the standard Cloud RL series remote level control plates. DSP parameters are accessible via RS-232 and Ethernet, for interfacing to third-party control systems including Crestron, AMX, Control4 etc. A 3-way GPIO port can be configured for external master mute and fault condition signalisation.
