The Cloud LM-2B Active Input Plate is a highly versatile wall-mounted audio interface designed to deliver flexible, localised input control within professional commercial audio systems. Building on the proven foundation of the LM-1, the LM-2B introduces enhanced connectivity and usability, making it an ideal solution for environments where multiple input options and user control are required at the point of use.
With integrated microphone input, stereo line input, and a convenient front-panel 3.5mm connection for portable devices, the LM-2B enables seamless integration of a wide range of audio sources. Combined with local level control and source selection functionality, it provides users with complete flexibility while maintaining system integrity.
The LM-2B is engineered to simplify audio connectivity in distributed systems. It allows users to connect microphones, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other audio sources directly into the system without needing access to the main equipment rack.
Key input options include:
This combination ensures the LM-2B can support a wide range of real-world scenarios, from presentations and announcements to background music playback and fitness instruction.
The LM-2B places control directly in the hands of the end user. With intuitive level controls and source selection, it allows users to manage their audio input without requiring technical support. This is particularly valuable in environments where systems are used by multiple individuals with varying levels of technical knowledge.
Additionally, the LM-2B supports priority functionality, enabling the connected input to override background audio if required. This is ideal for applications such as announcements, presentations, or instructor-led sessions where clarity and focus are essential.
The LM-2B is designed to integrate directly with Cloud zone mixers such as the Z4 and Z8 MK3, connecting via screened CAT5e cabling using the rear-panel RJ45 interface. This allows a single LM-2B to be installed per zone, providing dedicated input control exactly where it is needed.
A second RJ45 port enables daisy chaining, allowing two LM-2B plates to be linked within the same zone. This is particularly useful in larger spaces where multiple input points are required, such as large conference rooms or multi-use halls.
The Cloud LM-2B is widely used across a range of commercial environments due to its adaptability and ease of use. Typical applications include:
Its ability to combine microphone and line-level inputs into a single wall plate makes it a highly efficient solution for modern installations.
While the LM-2B is designed for Cloud systems with facility port connectivity, it can also be integrated into systems without this feature using the Cloud FPA-1 Facility Port Adapter. This allows the LM-2B to connect directly to standard line inputs on amplifiers or mixers, significantly expanding its compatibility.
This approach is particularly effective for upgrading existing systems, enabling modern input functionality without the need for full equipment replacement.
The LM-2B is supplied as a single gang UK wall plate, finished in black or white to suit a wide range of commercial interiors. Its clean, professional design ensures it integrates seamlessly into the environment, whether installed in a classroom, conference room, or hospitality venue.
The use of CAT5e cabling simplifies installation, reducing both cost and complexity while maintaining reliable signal transmission.
