Cloud Electronics is a solely-owned British company based in Sheffield that designs, engineers and manufactures high- quality audio mixers, zoners, multi-channel amplifiers, and headphone distribution systems including the DCM-1 Digitally Controlled Mixer and the renowned VTX series of amplifiers. The company’s commercial audio products are designed with installation applications in mind and all are built and tested to the most exacting professional standards, to ensure outstanding reliability and consistent performance. Cloud Electronics products are distributed worldwide under the “Cloud” Brand.

Overview

240W Mixer/Amplifier

The Cloud MPA240MK2 is intended to provide a complete audio solution for Houses of Worship, retail outlets, hotels, licensed premises and other spaces where music, announcements and/or flexible paging are required. It combines the functions of a two-channel microphone mixer with full paging facilities, a six-input music source selector and a mono power amplifier in a single 1U unit.

The MPA240MK2 has six unbalanced stereo line inputs for music sources, and two balanced microphone inputs. Each microphone input has its own rear panel sensitivity control and front panel gain control, allowing multiple mics to be mixed together. The selected music source is mixed with the summed mic signals before being fed to the power amplifier stage.

The MPA240MK2 is compatible with the Cloud PM1 single-zone paging microphone, and may also be used for one of the zones supported by the Cloud PM4/8/12/16/4-SA/8-SA multizone paging microphones.

The power output stage is transformerless, and is capable of driving 70/100 V loudspeaker distribution systems directly. Rear panel DIP switches allow the output voltage and impedance to be selected, permitting the amplifier to be used to either drive low-impedance (4 or 8 ohm) loudspeakers or 70/100 V systems.

A particularly useful feature of the MPA240MK2 is the Facility Port; this allows a remote input module from the Cloud LM-2 Series (for wired sources) or BT-1 Series (for Bluetooth wireless sources) to be connected via easy-to-install screened Cat 5 cable. Microphones, and/or line sources such as radio mics, DJ mixers, MP3 players, laptops or other audio sources – including Bluetooth-equipped laptops, tablets and smartphones – can then be connected locally, simplifying the use of the area for presentations where portable audio sources are in use.
