ME-1M (Media version)
The Cloud ME-1M is a 100 x 50 mm “Euro-module”, and is designed to clip into a mounting frame with this size cut-out (not
supplied). Suitable mounting frames are available in most European and other territories, to fit local electrical back box dimensions.
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).
Wiring
The ME-1’s OUTPUT connector should be connected to one of the DCM1’s MICROPHONE INPUTs with screened Cat 5 cable
and shielded RJ45 plugs.

UK version illustrated
Note that all ME-1s have two RJ45 connectors, OUTPUT and LINK. On ME-1 and ME-1A versions, they are both mounted on the
lower PCB, with the OUTPUT connector on the right (looking at the module rear). On ME-1M versions, they are mounted on
separate PCBs; the OUTPUT connector is on the upper PCB.
IMPORTANT: Because the cables carry low-level audio, only screened Cat 5 should be used, the foil screen of the cable being
bonded to the metal screening can of the plugs. If an ME-1 is being mounted in close proximity to the DCM1, it may be possible to
use ready-made screened Cat 5 “patch” cables of an appropriate length. Otherwise, shielded RJ45 plugs should be crimped onto
the installed screened Cat 5 cable using the pinout shown below.
