Plena

The Plena Voice Alarm System is part of the Plena product range. Plena provides public
address solutions for places where people gather to work, worship, trade or simply enjoy
themselves. It is a family of system elements that are combined to create public address
systems tailored for virtually any application. The range includes mixer, pre, system and power
amplifiers, a source unit, digital message manager, feedback suppressor, conventional and PC
call stations, an 'All-in-One' system, an audio interface, a timer, a charger, a loop amplifier, a
BGM source and a voice alarm system. Each element is designed to complement all others
thanks to matched acoustical, electrical and mechanical specifications.

Praesideo

It is possible to combine the Plena Voice Alarm System with e.g. a Praesideo digital public
address and emergency sound system, or a Promatrix or other system. When an audio output
of Praesideo is connected to a VOX audio input of the Plena Voice Alarm System, calls that are
made by the Praesideo system overrule the calls that are made with the Plena Voice Alarm
System.
