LE-1 Series Installation Guide v2.0 2
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 specifically 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
configuring 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 briefly only on the loudest sections of
audio programme.

The Cloud LE-1 fits a standard UK-style dual-gang electrical back box. The box used should have a depth of at least 35 mm.
2 x M3.5 screws are supplied with the module.
LE-1A (US version)
The Cloud LE-1A fits a standard US dual-gang electrical ‘J’ box in vertical orientation. The box used should have a depth of at least
1¼”. 4 x 6-32 screws are required to secure the module.
LE-1M (Media version)
The Cloud LE-1M is a 100 x 50 mm “Euro-module”, and is designed to clip into a mounting frame with this size cut-out (not

Ensure that the back box has a depth of at least 35 mm. The module is secured in place by the six plastic clips (three top, three
bottom).
