The Cloud L-1B Active Line Input Plate is a professional-grade solution designed to introduce convenient, localised audio input into commercial sound systems. Engineered for seamless integration with Cloud’s facility port-enabled products, the L-1B allows users to connect a line-level audio source directly within a zone, delivering both flexibility and ease of use across a wide range of installation environments.
Positioned as a streamlined alternative to the LM-2, the L-1B focuses purely on line-level input, making it a cost-effective and efficient choice for installations where microphone connectivity is not required. With integrated volume level control and long-distance signal capability, it provides a robust and scalable solution for modern commercial audio systems.
The Cloud L-1B is designed to bring audio input closer to the user, eliminating the need to route sources back to a central rack or control location. Installed within a standard UK single gang wall plate format, it allows users to connect devices such as laptops, tablets, media players, or presentation systems directly at the point of use.
The built-in volume control provides immediate, intuitive adjustment of input levels, ensuring optimal audio performance without requiring technical intervention. This makes the L-1B particularly effective in environments where ease of operation is essential, such as classrooms, meeting rooms, and hospitality venues.
The L-1B is widely deployed across a variety of sectors where decentralised audio input is required. Typical use cases include:
Its ability to provide a clean, balanced line signal from a remote location ensures consistent audio quality regardless of installation size or complexity.
One of the standout features of the Cloud L-1B is its impressive operating range. Using standard CAT5 or CAT6 cabling, the unit can transmit audio signals over distances of up to 1.5km. This makes it highly suitable for large-scale venues or distributed audio systems where input points may be located far from the main equipment rack.
This extended range capability allows system designers to implement flexible layouts without compromising on signal integrity, making the L-1B a practical solution for both new installations and retrofit projects.
The L-1B is fully compatible with a wide range of Cloud products featuring facility port connectivity. Supported systems include:
This broad compatibility ensures straightforward integration into existing Cloud ecosystems, enabling installers to expand system functionality without complex configuration.
For installations where a facility port is not available, the L-1B can still be deployed using the Cloud FPA-1 Facility Port Adapter. This allows the plate to connect directly to standard line inputs on amplifiers or mixers, effectively extending its usability across non-Cloud or legacy systems.
This flexibility makes the L-1B an attractive option for system upgrades, allowing integrators to introduce remote input functionality without replacing core equipment.
