Description
The Cloud 46-120 is a professional 4-zone integrated mixer amplifier designed for commercial audio installations requiring flexible multi-zone control, reliable performance, and simple day-to-day operation. Delivering 4 x 120W of power, it provides a complete solution for distributing music and announcements across multiple areas within a venue.
Built as an all-in-one system, the 46-120 combines mixing, amplification, and zone routing into a single rack-mounted unit, making it ideal for hospitality, retail, education, and leisure environments.
Four-Zone Audio Control with Independent Operation
The Cloud 46-120 enables independent control of up to four separate audio zones, each with its own source selection and volume level. This allows different areas within a venue to operate with tailored audio settings, improving overall customer experience and system usability.
Typical applications include:
- Restaurants with bar, dining, and outdoor areas
- Retail stores with multiple departments
- Offices and reception spaces
- Gyms and leisure facilities
Each zone can be controlled locally via the front panel or remotely using optional wall controllers.
4 x 120W Output with Flexible Speaker Support
Each zone is powered by a dedicated 120W amplifier channel, supporting both:
- Low impedance speaker systems (4Ω / 8Ω)
- 70V / 100V line systems (via optional transformer modules)
This flexibility allows the system to be deployed in both small, high-quality audio setups and larger distributed speaker networks.
Multiple Inputs for Full System Integration
The amplifier includes:
- 6 stereo line inputs
- 2 microphone inputs with priority functionality
This enables:
- Multiple music sources to be connected simultaneously
- Integration of microphones for announcements
- Centralised control of all audio inputs
Each zone can select from available sources independently, ensuring flexible audio distribution.
Paging and Priority Functionality
The microphone inputs support priority paging, allowing announcements to override background music when required. This ensures clear and intelligible speech across selected zones or the entire system.
Optional Cloud paging microphones can be added to provide:
- Zone-selectable announcements
- Integrated chime functionality
- Enhanced communication across venues
Remote Control and Facility Port Integration
The 46-120 supports remote operation via optional RSL-6 wall controllers, enabling local control of source selection and volume in each zone.
A Facility Port input allows connection of remote audio input plates such as the LM-2, providing:
- Local audio input in different areas
- Flexible system expansion
- Simplified installation
This makes the system highly adaptable for multi-room installations.
System Expansion and Integration Options
The amplifier includes additional connectivity for advanced system integration:
- Auxiliary outputs for zone linking or recording
- Music-on-hold / utility output
- Optional digital interface module (CDI-46) for Ethernet, RS232, and digital paging
These features allow the system to scale and integrate with wider AV or control systems.
Energy Efficiency and Smart Operation
An automatic standby mode reduces power consumption when the system is not in use, improving energy efficiency in commercial environments.
A remote power-down function also allows integration with building management systems.
Installation-Ready Rack Design
Housed in a standard 2U 19-inch rack format, the Cloud 46-120 is designed for straightforward installation into AV racks and equipment cabinets. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding commercial environments.
Ideal Applications
The Cloud 46-120 is widely used in:
- Bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues
- Retail stores and shopping environments
- Offices and corporate spaces
- Education facilities
- Leisure and fitness centres
Its four-zone capability makes it particularly suited to venues requiring independent audio control across multiple areas.
