The Cloud CX163 is a professional 2-zone stereo mixer designed for commercial audio systems requiring flexible source selection, paging functionality, and simple multi-zone control. Built in a compact 1U rack format, it provides a reliable and installer-friendly solution for distributing background music and announcements across multiple areas within a venue.
Engineered for hospitality, retail, and leisure environments, the CX163 delivers centralised audio management with intuitive operation and scalable system integration.
The CX163 provides two independent stereo zone outputs, allowing different audio sources and volume levels to be assigned to separate areas within a venue. In addition, a mono utility output is included, ideal for secondary spaces such as corridors, foyers, or washrooms.
Each zone can also be configured to operate in mono, enabling further flexibility in system design and speaker layout.
With six stereo line inputs, the CX163 allows multiple music sources to be connected simultaneously, including media players, streaming devices, and broadcast audio feeds.
This enables:
Input gain controls ensure compatibility with a wide range of signal levels.
The mixer includes a balanced microphone input with paging functionality, allowing announcements to be routed to one or both zones.
Features include:

The CX163 supports remote level control via Cloud RL-1 wall panels, allowing users to adjust volume locally within each zone.
When configured in mono mode, zones can be split into sub-zones with independent control, providing enhanced flexibility for larger installations.
