Introduction

The ME-1 is a remote mic input plate for use with the Cloud DCM-1 Digitally Controlled

Mixer, and cannot be used with any other Cloud product. This document provides

information on how to connect ME-1s into a DCM-1-based audio system. Further

information on conguring the DCM-1 itself for use with ME-1s can be found in the

DCM-1 Installation and User Guide.

The ME-1 allows connection of two separate microphones into a DCM-1-based audio

system. The plate acts as a 2-into-1 mixer, i.e., if both mic inputs are in use, a mono sum

of the two is sent to the DCM-1 for routing to the zone(s).
