Z4MK3/Z8MK3 : Zone Mixers

General Description

The Cloud Z4MK3 and Z8MK3 are multi-zone, rack-mounting (3U)

audio mixers. They combine simple control of background music

with versatile microphone paging for up to eight separate areas. They

are suitable for use in many types of premises, including pubs, bars,

clubs, shops, ofces, hotels, etc.

Both models have six stereo line inputs and three microphone

inputs, one of which is congured specically for use with paging

mics. The Z4MK3 has four separate mono zone outputs, and the

Z8MK3 eight; apart from the number of supported zones, the models

are identical. The front panel provides separate controls for music

source selection, music level and two mic levels in each zone. EQ

cards suitable for various popular makes and models of installed

sound loudspeakers may be tted to any or all outputs.

The Z4MK3 and Z8MK3 are directly compatible with Cloud PM

Series paging microphones; alternatively, the paging mic input can

be congured to suit most OEM paging systems. Zone selection for

paging is via short-to-ground access connections, and each zone may

be independently congured for music ducking, triggered either by

the access port or VOX control. The ducking feature has selectable

release times. The paging mic has priority over the other mic inputs

(Mic 1 and Mic 2). Paging mic level to each zone is set with a recessed

front panel preset control.

When Mic1 and/or Mic 2 are in use, music ducking can also be

enabled on a per-zone basis. Additionally, Line 6 input may be set to

have priority over any other selected music source in any zone, to

facilitate connection of a digital sound store or similar device.

Music level only, or music level and source selection may be controlled

remotely in each zone if wished, using standard Cloud RL-1series or

RSL-6 series remote control plates. Each zone section of the Z4MK3

and Z8MK3 is also provided with a multi-purpose facility port. The

main purpose of this port is to connect optional remote input plates,

which allow mic and/or line level sources located in the zone – such

as local mics, DJ consoles, laptops, MP3 player docks, etc. - to be

routed to the zone’s audio system. Various options are available to

congure what priorities sources connected via the facility port have

relative to the unit’s primary sources. The facility port can also be

used as a general purpose, balanced, line level, auxiliary zone input.
