In another situation, it might be necessary to route the same
audio to several different zones, but allow each zone to adjust
its own level. This can be easily achieved by providing each zone
with a Cloud RL-1 remote volume control plate, and setting the
amplifier’s input routing to parallel all the channels. Only a single
input feed needs to be supplied, to Channel 1
System Example
CX-A450 and CX-A850 amplifiers’ exceptional crosstalk
performance make them particularly suitable for any application
where different audio sources need to be routed to various zones
(parts of a building). They are equally suitable in a situation where a
common audio source needs to be reproduced at different levels in
various zones. The flexibility of the amplifiers’ input routing makes
it possible to handle a mixture of mono and stereo sources without
complex wiring.
In many applications, the power amplifiers will be used in combination
with a Cloud Zoner, to permit paging and emergency override. An
example is the CX263 zoner, which supports three zones, one of
which may be stereo. In the example shown below, where a CX263
is used with a CX-A450, Chs. 1 & 2 are used to drive stereo to Zone
1, while Chs. 3 & 4 are used for the mono signals to Zones 2 and 3
respectively.
Similar mono-stereo arrangements are possible with the Cloud
CX163 and Z4

zoners.
