Mixer Amplifiers
The Plena mixer amplifier is a versatile, high-performance
unit with four mono microphone inputs and a music input.
It fulfills a wide variety of public address requirements at
a surprisingly low cost.
Functions
All input channels have a phantom power supply to
provide power to condenser microphones and selectable
speech filters for improved intelligibility. Input channels 3
and 4 can also be switched to line sensitivity. Separate
music inputs are available with their own input selector
and volume control.
Input channel 1 can take priority over all other
microphone and music inputs. Contact closure on the 5-
pin DIN connector, or if the signal level on channel 1
exceeds a predefined value (VOX) will activate priority. A
2-tone chime can be configured to precede a priority
announcement. A telephone or emergency input with VOX
activation and its own preset volume control overrides all
other input.
▶ Range of single and dual zone mixer amplifiers from
30 W to 120 W
▶ Four low-noise balanced inputs for microphone or line
▶ Selectable priority & VOX switching on microphone
input 1
▶ Optional 2-tone chime to precede announcements
▶ VOX activated emergency override
▶ Outputs for normal, call-only and mix-only zones
▶ Choice of CD, tuner or auxiliary music inputs
Loop through input and output connections enable
external sound processing equipment, such as an
equalizer or the Plena feedback suppressor, to be
connected between the preamplifier and the power
amplifier stages. An LED VU-meter monitors the master
output. The unit also has a tape output channel.
The Plena mixer amplifiers come in a range of maximum
output power. This power is directly available on 70 V and
100 V constant voltage connections and on a low
impedance connection for an 8 ohm load. Moreover, the
amplifiers have a separate 70 V / 100 V call-only output
channel for addressing areas where only priority
announcements are required, and a 70 V / 100 V mix-only
output channel for areas where no priority
announcements should be heard. The call-only output can
also be used for 3-wire remote, volume control override.
For more output power than the built-in power stage can
deliver, additional Plena power amplifiers can be
connected to the balanced line output in a loop-through
arrangement.
The LBB 1914/10 offers the same functionality as the
LBB 1912/10 but also has two front-panel switches to
direct the amplifier output to two separate zones. This is
useful when certain announcements or background music
should not be heard in part of a building. Priority calls,
however, are always routed to both zones.
