Description
The Cloud 24-120 is a professional 2-zone mixer amplifier designed for commercial audio installations requiring flexible zoning, reliable performance, and simple user control. Delivering 120W of power with support for both low impedance and 70/100V line speaker systems, it provides a versatile and scalable solution for hospitality, retail, and corporate environments.
Engineered by Cloud Electronics, the 24-120 combines multi-source mixing, paging capability, and zone control into a compact 1U rack-mounted unit, making it ideal for modern distributed audio systems.
Dual-Zone Audio Control for Commercial Environments
The Cloud 24-120 provides two independent audio zones, allowing different areas within a venue to operate with separate volume levels and source selection.
This makes it ideal for:
- Restaurants with bar and dining zones
- Retail stores with multiple areas
- Offices and reception spaces
- Education and public buildings
Each zone features front-panel controls for music source selection, music level, and microphone level, ensuring straightforward day-to-day operation.
120W Output with Flexible Speaker Options
The amplifier delivers 120W output and supports both:
- Low impedance speaker systems (4Ω / 8Ω)
- 70V / 100V line distributed systems
This flexibility allows installers to deploy the amplifier across a wide range of applications, from small localised systems to larger distributed speaker networks.
A power-sharing function enables the total available output to be distributed across both zones when operating in 100V line mode, optimising performance based on system requirements.
Multiple Inputs for System Integration
The Cloud 24-120 includes a range of inputs to support both music playback and speech applications:
- 4 stereo line inputs (balanced and unbalanced)
- 1 microphone input with level control
This enables:
- Connection of multiple music sources
- Integration of microphones for announcements
- Centralised audio control within a single unit
The system is designed to accommodate both background music and paging requirements without additional equipment.
Paging and Priority Functionality
The microphone input can be configured for paging, allowing announcements to override background music when required. This ensures clear communication in commercial environments such as retail stores, hospitality venues, and public buildings.
This functionality is essential for:
- Staff announcements
- Customer notifications
- Emergency messaging integration
Facility Port for Remote Audio and Control
A key feature of the Cloud 24-120 is its Facility Port connectivity via RJ45, enabling integration with remote input plates and accessories such as Bluetooth receivers or wall-mounted control panels.
This allows:
- Remote audio input in different areas
- Local control of source and volume
- Flexible system expansion without additional cabling complexity
Compatible accessories include Cloud LM-2, L-1, and Bluetooth input plates.
Simple and User-Friendly Operation
The front panel is designed for ease of use, with intuitive rotary controls and clear status indicators. LED indicators provide feedback on signal levels, mute status, and system health, ensuring operators can quickly monitor performance.
This makes the system suitable for environments where non-technical staff may be operating the audio system.
Reliable Performance and Protection
The Cloud 24-120 includes built-in protection and monitoring features to ensure long-term reliability:
- Thermal protection with automatic power reduction
- Fault detection with output muting
- Status indicators for system health
These features help maintain consistent performance in demanding commercial environments.
Compact 1U Rack Installation
Housed in a standard 1U 19-inch rack chassis, the Cloud 24-120 is designed for efficient installation in AV racks and equipment cabinets. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained installations while still delivering professional-level functionality.
Ideal Applications
The Cloud 24-120 is widely used in:
- Bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues
- Retail stores and shopping environments
- Offices and commercial spaces
- Education facilities
- Public address and multi-zone audio systems
Its dual-zone capability and flexible configuration make it particularly suited to installations requiring independent area control.
