Cloud Electronics CXL-100T - Manual (Page 4)

CXL Manual v1.0 4
Introduction
Thank you for buying this Cloud product.
The CXL range of high-performance 100/70 V toroidal transformer assemblies are intended for use with various models of
Cloud power amplifiers and mixer-amplifiers, with applications in background music, public address and PA/VA. They interface
the amplifiers’ low-impedance outputs to 100 V-line or 70 V-line loudspeaker systems.
There are four models of transformer in the range, each suitable for use with amplifier channels having a particular maximum
power rating:
Transformer Type
For use with amplifiers with a
power rating (into 4 ohms) of:
Dia. Height
CXL-40T 50 W per channel 65 mm 30 mm
CXL-100T 120 W per channel 80 mm 36 mm
CXL-200T 240 W per channel 100 mm 65 mm
CXL-400T 400 W per channel 120 mm 66 mm
The CXL-800 and CXL-1600 19” rackmount housings are each designed to accept up to eight transformers
(see”Transformer/Rackmount Housing compatibility” on page 5 for compatibility details). It is recommended that these
housings are used in conjunction with the transformers, as the complete assembly provides good safety protection.
Scope of this manual
The primary purpose of this manual is to describe:
•
how to mechanically install CXL Series transformers
into the rackmount housings;
•
how to fit the transformer connectors to the rear
panels of the housings;
•
how to correctly connect the assembly to the amplifier
and the loudspeaker system.
It also gives information about configuring the amplifiers for
use with 100/70 V-line systems.
The CXL range of transformers may also be used without
the rackmount housings; instructions on how to achieve this
safely are included.
