Introduction

The LE-1 is a remote line input module for use with the Cloud DCM1 range of Digitally Controlled Mixers. It cannot be used with
any other Cloud product.

NOTE 1: All references to “DCM1” in this Installation Guide can be taken to apply to all models in the DCM1 range.

NOTE 2: Unless specically stated otherwise, all references to “LE-1” in this Installation Guide can be taken to apply to all LE-1

mechanical and cosmetic variants.

This document provides information on how to connect LE-1s into an audio system based on a DCM1. Further information on

conguring the DCM1 itself for use with LE-1s can be found in the DCM1 Installation and User Guide.

The LE-1 allows a stereo unbalanced line-level audio source, such as a portable music centre, laptop, radio mic receiver or similar

to be connected into a DCM1-based audio system.

Two types of input connector are provided: dual phono sockets for line level signals (with a nominal level of 0 dBu), and a

3.5 mm stereo jack socket for higher level signals (approx. +8 dBu nominal), such as are found at the headphone output sockets
of portable audio devices. Gain trim adjustment (±12 dB) is available on the faceplate, and a red “Peak” LED illuminates when an
input signal exceeds nominal level. The gain should be adjusted so that the LED illuminates briey only on the loudest sections of

audio programme.
