Cloud Electronics FPA-1 Facility Port Adapter
Cloud Electronics FPA-1 – Facility Port Adapter for Systems Without a Facility Port.
The Cloud FPA-1 is a versatile interface adapter designed to enable Cloud Facility Ported accessories—such as the LM-2 Line-Mic Input Plate and BT-1 Bluetooth Input Plate—to be integrated with amplifiers, mixers, or audio systems that lack a Facility Port connection. This provides a seamless solution for upgrading and expanding existing installed sound systems without requiring Cloud-specific equipment.
Universal Compatibility with Facility Ported Accessories
The FPA-1 ensures backward compatibility, allowing installers to connect any Cloud Facility Ported device to an audio system that does not have a dedicated Facility Port. This means that accessories such as the LE-1, BE-1, and ME-1 Stereo Input Plates can be used with any amplifier or mixer featuring standard line-level inputs. For example, a BT-1 Bluetooth Input Plate can be directly integrated into an existing installed audio system, enabling wireless audio streaming without the need for a Cloud amplifier.
Power Injection & Extended Range Capabilities
In addition to providing connectivity, the FPA-1 also functions as a power injector, allowing Facility Plates to be installed at greater distances from the host system. This ensures reliable operation and extended installation flexibility, making it ideal for applications requiring remote input locations or long cable runs.
Reliable & Flexible Installation
The FPA-1 features twin electronically balanced outputs and is equipped with three Phoenix connectors (Degson – 3 pole, 3.5mm pitch pole) for secure and reliable wiring. An RSL output is included for use with the LM-2 Active Input Plate, ensuring full functionality across a range of Cloud accessories. The unit is supplied with a 12V PSU, making it ready for immediate installation.
