The Cloud M-1B Active Microphone Input Plate is a dedicated wall-mounted solution designed to provide simple, reliable microphone connectivity within commercial audio systems. Built for integration with Cloud facility port-enabled products, the M-1B allows a microphone to be connected directly within a remote zone, delivering local control and clear audio performance without the need to access central equipment.
As a streamlined derivative of the LM-2, the M-1B focuses purely on microphone input functionality, making it an efficient and cost-effective option for installations where vocal input is the primary requirement. With integrated level control and VOX priority functionality, it ensures both usability and professional performance across a wide range of environments.
The Cloud M-1B is designed to bring microphone connectivity closer to the user. Installed as a standard UK single gang wall plate, it features a balanced XLR microphone input, allowing direct connection of handheld or headset microphones within a zone.
This eliminates the need for long analogue cable runs back to a central rack, simplifying installation while improving overall system usability. The inclusion of a local input level control enables users to quickly adjust microphone volume, ensuring optimal clarity without requiring technical support.
A key feature of the M-1B is its integrated VOX priority function. When activated, this automatically reduces the level of background audio by up to 18dB when a microphone signal is detected. This ensures that announcements, presentations, or instructions are always clearly heard over music or ambient audio.
This functionality is particularly valuable in environments such as:
By prioritising speech intelligibility, the M-1B enhances the overall effectiveness of any installed audio system.
The M-1B uses standard CAT5 or CAT6 cabling to connect back to the main system, providing a working range of up to 1.5km. This allows microphone input points to be installed virtually anywhere within a building or venue, offering exceptional flexibility for system designers.
This long-distance capability makes the M-1B particularly suitable for large or distributed installations, including multi-room venues, school campuses, and commercial buildings.
The M-1B is compatible with a wide range of Cloud products featuring facility port connectivity, including:
This ensures straightforward integration into existing Cloud-based systems, allowing installers to expand functionality without complex configuration or additional processing.
For installations where a facility port is not available, the M-1B can be used in conjunction with the Cloud FPA-1 Facility Port Adapter. This enables the plate to connect directly to standard line inputs on amplifiers or mixers, making it suitable for retrofitting into legacy or third-party systems.
This flexibility provides a practical pathway for upgrading systems without the need for full equipment replacement.
The M-1B is supplied as a single gang UK metal wall plate, offering a durable and professional finish suitable for commercial environments. It is available in both black and white variants, allowing it to blend seamlessly into a range of interior designs.
As an endpoint device, the M-1B does not include a through connection, ensuring a simple and reliable installation focused on a single microphone input location.
