CXM User manual 3 Introduction The Cloud CXM modular mixer has been designed to provide the varied facilities required in a modern discotheque. The versatility of the modular format and the flexible facilities of the master module make it suitable for a wide range of applications such as in broadcast or production studios. The main frame, containing one master output module, is available in three sizes, with space for 8, 12, or 16 channel modules.
CXM User manual 4 1 CS1 Stereo Music Module 1.01 Input Select Switch This two position switch is used to select the desired input source. The 'phono' position, indicated by a green LED, is primarily used for turntable inputs. The 'line' position, indicated by a yellow LED, is used for all other inputs such as CD players and tape decks etc. The CS1 module can have two inputs permanently connected. However, switching between them can be tedious and both inputs cannot be heard at the same time.
CXM User manual 5 1.07 Equalisation The three equalisation (or EQ) controls will alter the tone of the audio passing through the channel. It is not normal to assume that all three controls need to be rotated off their centre detented position at the same time. More so, if all three controls are rotated clockwise, then a previously optimised gain setting, could still produce overload and distortion at the boosted high, middle and low frequencies.
CXM User manual 6 2 CM1 Microphone module 2.01 Input Select Switch This two position switch is used to select the desired input source. The 'Mic' position, indicated by a green LED is used for the microphone input. The 'Line' position, indicated by a yellow LED is used for line level inputs such as high output capacitor microphones or radio mics.
CXM User manual 7 2.05c LF - Low Frequency This adjusts the bass content of the audio signals, again with a centre detent and similar operation to the HF control. Be careful not to add too much low frequency boost as this will over emphasise any hard sounding consonants and microphone handling noises. If a humming sound increases when the LF control is rotated clockwise then the input device might be incorrectly wired. 2.

CXM User manual 3.01 9 Main Output Section Separate faders are provided for microphone level and music level, making individual master level adjustment possible. The microphone fader should be used at approximately 75% of its travel; this will allow the operator to increase the output significantly if required. A setting below 50% of the fader travel must be avoided and could result in premature distortion.
CXM User manual 3.06 10 Aux Send Master Controls The Aux 1 Master level control is used to adjust the overall signal level at the Aux 1 output. The Aux 2 Master is identical to Aux 1. 3.07 Aux Return Control This control is used to adjust the level of any unit connected to the Aux return socket with a provision to monitor the signal via the PFL switch. It is obviously intended to be used by signal processors etc.
CXM User manual 11 4 CZ1 Zone Module The CZ1 Zone Module extends the output facilities of the M1 and M2 Master Modules by providing an extra 3 output zones, each with independent control of microphone and music levels. 4.02 Zone 1 Separate microphone and music faders are provided and these control the respective levels in the area assigned to Zone 1.
