Cloud control · FBT loudspeakers
Commercial sound system installation with Cloud zone control and FBT installed loudspeakers, for businesses and venues across Edinburgh and Scotland.
Discuss your sound system ›From source to speaker
We agree the zones and user controls first, then specify compatible equipment. Where bass reinforcement or speech is required, that becomes part of the system design rather than an afterthought.
Cloud Electronics · Zoning & control
A zone mixer decides which source is heard in each area and how staff control it. These Cloud options cover different approaches to source selection, paging and local operation.
Network-controlled zoning
Eight stereo line inputs; eight balanced zone outputs, arranged as two stereo and six mono zones. Its onboard web server enables control from devices on the same network, with installer-defined access.
Control across eight zones
An analogue venue mixer with eight mono zones, six music source inputs and two microphone inputs. Optional wall controls let staff adjust source and level locally; paging and priority settings support daily operation.
A simpler, smaller-zone system
Two stereo zones plus a mono utility output, with six stereo line inputs and one microphone input. A compact 1U mixer for smaller venues; optional RL-1 controls provide remote music level adjustment.
These are line-level zone mixers, not speaker power amplifiers. Amplification, loudspeaker circuits, wall controls and paging accessories are specified separately.
Cloud DCM1e, Z8MK4 and CX163 ›FBT Audio · Installed loudspeakers
Loudspeaker style, placement and output should fit the architecture and listening areas. LIBRA and ARCHON offer different starting points for a commercial installation.
Pendant loudspeakers for designed spaces
A suspended speaker format to consider for open ceilings and interiors where conventional wall positions do not suit the layout. We plan the drop height, spacing and suspension around the room.
Cabinet speakers for installed sound
A range of passive installation speakers and subwoofers for projects needing focused coverage and a choice of cabinet sizes. The room, listening level and mounting positions guide the model selection.
Range imagery shows LIBRA 5CT and ARCHON 105 examples, not every model. Passive speakers need suitable amplification. Transformer options, impedance, mounting and environmental suitability are checked for the exact model.
FBT LIBRA Install and ARCHON ›Plan around the venue
Illustrative layouts to discuss at survey. The final mixer, speaker count and amplifier channels depend on the actual building.
Bar & restaurant
Separate the bar, dining area and private room so their sound levels can differ. Decide whether private dining needs a local source or microphone and whether announcements should reach selected areas.
Hospitality AV ›Hotel & multi-room venue
Define reception, lounge, restaurant and meeting-room zones. Establish which staff need local controls, which sources they may select and where central control remains with management.
Hotel AV ›Retail & commercial spaces
Plan music coverage across customer areas while keeping staff spaces independent where needed. Agree paging priorities and check the sound at normal working levels.

A useful starting point
| Requirement | Worth discussing | What we establish |
|---|---|---|
| Network-based control | Cloud DCM1e | Eight-zone layout, network access and staff permissions. |
| Eight mono zones | Cloud Z8MK4 | Sources, microphone priorities and local wall controls. |
| Two stereo areas and a utility feed | Cloud CX163 | Source selection, utility feed behaviour and remote volume control. |
| Suspended speakers | FBT LIBRA Install | Ceiling structure, suspension, drop heights and listening coverage. |
| Cabinet speakers and bass support | FBT ARCHON | Cabinet size, aiming, mounting and subwoofer requirements. |
Installation & commissioning
Listen to the space, identify noise and reflective surfaces, and agree music, speech and operating priorities.
Plan zone circuits, speaker loading, amplifier capacity, controls and cable routes.
Coordinate mounting, cabling and equipment locations, then set routing, levels and any agreed priorities.
Walk the listening areas, check zone controls and demonstrate everyday operation to staff.
Common questions
No. These Cloud mixers provide line-level outputs. Suitable power amplifiers are needed between the mixer and passive loudspeakers.
Depending on the chosen system and configuration, yes. We define which zones need independent source selection, local volume controls and microphone access before specifying the mixer.
Yes, where the design calls for it. Different areas can use different loudspeaker types, with appropriate amplifier circuits and settings for each.
It depends on the speaker models, cable distances, number of speakers and required output. We check transformer taps or impedance loading and amplifier capacity for each circuit.
No. A background music or paging installation is not automatically a certified voice-alarm system. Any life-safety requirement needs its own compliant design and coordination with the relevant specialists.
Environmental suitability is model-specific. We confirm the exact product, weather protection, mounting and cable arrangements before specifying an outdoor installation.
