Introduction
Cloud RL Series and RSL Series remote control plates are accessories for
a wide range of Cloud zoners, mixer-ampliers and power ampliers. They
are compatible with all current (relevant) products, and also with numerous
discontinued products.
RL plates adjust the signal level in an audio channel of a Cloud device, and thus
allow audio volume in an area to be controlled locally.
RSL plates provide the same volume control function as RL plates, but
additionally allow remote selection of music source, when used in conjunction
with Cloud devices that have multiple line inputs.
Remote plate types
Functionally, there are three models of remote plate:
• RL-1: provides remote volume control of an audio channel.
• RSL-4: provides remote volume control of an audio channel, and also
remote selection of the music source for that channel, when used with
devices having up to four line inputs.
• RSL-6: as RSL-4, but for use with devices having up to six line inputs.

Further, each model is available in three physical sizes:
UK versions:
These are available in black or white nish; the part number is sufxed
‘B’ or ‘W’ respectively. All UK versions of the plates t standard UK-style
single-gang electrical back boxes, either surface-mounting or ush-tting.
Recommended back box depth is 25 mm. Two M3.5 x 20 xing screws are
supplied with each plate.
US versions:
The RL-1A, RSL-4A and RSL-6A are electrically and functionally identical
to the UK versions, but the faceplates have different physical dimensions
(4.51” x 2.76”) which allow them to be mounted into a standard US-style back
box (with vertical orientation). Both black and white nishes are available; the
part numbers are sufxed ‘B’ and ‘W’ respectively.
‘Media’ versions:
The RL-1M, RSL-4M and RSL-6M are electrically and functionally identical
to the UK versions, but are in the form of 50 mm x 50 mm Euro-modules,
which can be tted into either UK or other European back boxes with the
appropriate mounting frame.

The Media module is secured in place by the four plastic clips; two at the top,
two at the bottom (see diagram below). Both black and white nishes are
available; the part numbers are sufxed ‘B’ and ‘W’ respectively.
NOTE: All information in this manual applies equally to all mechanical versions.
