en | System Overview Plena Mixer Amplifier 3 System Overview 3.1 The Plena product range The Plena Mixer Amplifier is part of the Plena product range. Plena provides public address solutions for places where people gather to work, worship, trade, or relax. It is a family of system elements that are combined to create public address systems tailored for virtually any application.
Plena Mixer Amplifier 3.3 System Overview | en 11 The Plena Mixer Amplifier The Plena Mixer Amplifier is a high performance, professional public address unit for mixing up to four separate microphone/line signals, and one music signal. The volume of each microphone/line signal can be individually adjusted to obtain the required mix; the mixed output is controlled via the master volume control and separate high/low tone controls. The unit is easy to use, and provides a crisp call or clear music.

4 en | Planning Plena Mixer Amplifier Planning Calculate your total power needs based on the sum of the power handling capacity and tapping of all loudspeakers planned in your system. When you use the volume controls, assume the maximal setting for this calculation. Make sure that the unit has sufficient air around it for ventilation. For units with a fan, make sure that the cabinet where the unit is placed in can evict air from the rear.
Plena Mixer Amplifier Installation | en 5 Installation 5.1 Unpack unit 1. 15 Remove the unit from the box, and discard the packaging material according to local regulations. 2. Use your fingernails to carefully peel off the protective plastic film from the label holders. Do not use sharp or pointed objects. 5.2 Check settings/connections 1. Connect any additional equipment (see Section 6.1 Connecting inputs and Section 6.2 Connecting outputs). 2. 5.3 Check the settings (see Section 7.
en | Connection Plena Mixer Amplifier 6 Connection 6.1 Connecting inputs 6.1.1 Priority microphone (input 1) The priority microphone PLE-1CS or PLE-1SCS (or a generic call station) that can be used with push to talk (PTT) should be connected to “microphone/line 1 input”. The PTT mode can be activated by setting the DIP switch (2) at the rear of the unit. Microphone/line 1 input has priority over all other microphone/line inputs.
Plena Mixer Amplifier 6.1.3 Connection | en 17 Additional microphones (inputs 3 and 4) Connect additional microphones to microphone/line inputs 3 and 4 as required. See Figure 6.2. These microphones will mix with the background music. Set the DIP switch settings between connector for microphone/lines 3 and 4, as required. See Section 7.1 Unit settings. Figure 6.2 Connecting microphone inputs 6.1.
en | Connection Plena Mixer Amplifier 6.2 Connecting outputs 6.2.1 Main output Connect speakers to the 100 V, 70 V or 4 Ohm terminal on the Euro style screw terminal connector (9) at the rear of the unit. Also see Section 6.2.3 Connecting constant voltage loudspeakers and Section 6.2.4 Connecting low impedance loudspeakers. 6.2.2 Call only Connect speakers to the 100 V terminal on the Euro style screw terminal connector (9) at the rear of the unit. Also see Section 6.2.
Plena Mixer Amplifier 6.2.4 Connection | en 19 Connecting low impedance loudspeakers Figure 6.5 Connecting low impedance loudspeakers Connect low impedance loudspeakers to the 4 Ohm/0 terminals. This output can deliver the rated output power into an 4 Ohm load. Connect multiple loudspeakers in a series/parallelarrangement to make the combined impedance 4 Ohm or higher. Check the loudspeaker polarity for in-phase connection. Bosch Security Systems B.V.
