The CX261 mixes any one of six stereo line inputs with one or two microphone inputs. Separate front panel controls for music source selection, music level and mic levels are provided. Either music level only, or music source and level may be controlled remotely if wished using standard Cloud RL or RSL Series remote control plates. In addition to the main stereo output, there is a transformer-isolated mono auxiliary output which is suitable for providing a MOH (Music On Hold) output to a telephone system. All outputs are balanced at line level. Line 1’s input may be switched (on the rear panel) to an alternative front-panel 3.5 mm jack connector, to permit convenient connectionof an MP3 player, laptop or similar portable audio source. A front panel LED confirms its selection. This input is provided with an independent front panel gain control and LED signal level indication.
