PM SERIES PAGING MICROPHONES
Models PM4, PM8, PM12 & PM16
All Cloud products are exclusively designed in the UK.
Every Cloud product is exhaustively tested for electronic performance and sonic perfection in Shefeld, England.
The Cloud PM range of Digital Paging Microphones is a development
of the successful CDPM Series. The microphones are designed for
general purpose multi-zone applications and have a powerful range
of options that make them suitable for almost any situation. They are
easy to install and congure, and provide the user with an elegant
and simple-to-use unit. The microphones are suitable for use as free-
standing units, or may be wall-mounted for security and/or space
considerations.
Four models of the PM are available: the PM4, PM8, PM12 and PM16.
The models differ only in the number of zone select buttons on the
front panel (4, 8, 12 or 16 respectively), and consequently in the
maximum of zones that can be supported.
PM paging microphones allow for paging to individual, multiple or all
zones; zone groups may also be dened for single-button selection of
several zones. A Press To Talk button enables the integral gooseneck
microphone. A pre-announcement chime may be enabled if required;
an internal chime sounder is provided for local conrmation. A
further conguration option allows for paged zones to be cancelled
after an announcement, or remain selected.
PM microphones can be integrated into audio systems in two ways –
via the Cloud Digital Paging Interface, enabling simple connection to
recent Cloud products via CAT-5 cable – or via an analogue interface
to any Cloud (or third-party) audio system equipped with industry-
standard short-to-ground access connectors.
The Digital Paging Interface may be used to interconnect up to 32 PM
Series microphones, to permit paging from more than one location,
with a total allowable cable run of up to 1 km. Different models of PM
may be intermixed on a single network. Overall network connection
to the audio system may be via either interface method. Connection
to recent Cloud products - such as the DCM1 – will be via the Digital
Paging Interface. PM microphones are also directly compatible with
the earlier Cloud CDPM range. PM and CDPM microphones may be
freely intermixed on the Digital Paging Interface.
Because PM microphones are also equipped with an “analogue”
short-to-ground access port, they may be interfaced with equal ease
to other current Cloud products, such as the Z4II and Z8II Venue
Mixers, the CX163 and CX263 Mixers and the 36/50 and 46/50
Integrated Mixer Ampliers. Other, older Cloud products may also be
compatible; please contact Cloud’s Technical Department for advice
or visit the Cloud website (www.cloud.co.uk).
The PM Series provide a congurable two-layer priority system to
resolve the possibility of conicting announcements when more than
one paging microphone is installed on a network. In addition, a Busy
LED illuminates if an announcement is made from anywhere in the
system. Further conguration options include the ability to disable
selection of one or more zones from individual microphones, and a
“zone offset” facility whereby a microphone with fewer zone buttons
(i.e., a PM4) can address higher-numbered zones.
NOTE: PM Series microphones are also available with an integral
digital message store capable of holding multiple pre-recorded
messages. Please see separate datasheet on the Cloud PM-SA Series
Paging Microphones for further information.
