These Plena Economy mixer amplifiers are professional
public address units with modern state‑of‑the‑art features.
They are easy to use, taking the complexity away from the
user and putting it where it belongs, inside the
equipment. Providing a crisp call or clear music is as easy
as turning on the radio. Offering the essentials of public
address in an affordable package.
Functions
Microphone and line inputs
All Mic/line inputs can be switched between microphone
level and line level sensitivity. The inputs are balanced but
can be used unbalanced. Phantom power can be switched
on to provide power to condenser microphones.
Input channel 1 can take priority over all other
microphone and music inputs:
Input 1 can be activated by contact closure on the PTT
•
(push to talk). A 2-tone chime can be configured to
precede an announcement.
Music input
A separate music input is available with its volume
control.
Personalized settings
More unique features are available such as a detachable
label where the user can write the names for inputs. This
label can then be mounted on the front, protected by the
clear window.
Another useful feature is to indicate preferred settings on
the front panel by inserting colored pins at the preset
levels of all knobs. You can then instruct a user to set all
the controls to the silver pins to configure the system for
their particular use. A second user can set all controls to
the red pins for their configuration.
Power
The mixer amplifiers come in 60, 120 and 240 Watt output
power. This power is directly available on 100 V (70 V for
US versions) constant voltage connections and on a low
impedance connection for a 4 ohm load. Moreover, the
amplifiers have a separate 100 V (70 V for US versions)
call-only output channel for addressing areas where only
priority announcements are required. The call-only output
can also be used for 3-wire remote, volume control
override.

Output status
An LED VU meter monitors the master output. A
headphone socket, below the VU meter, provides the
mixer output. For total reliability and ease of use, a limiter
is integrated into the output stage to restrict output if the
user applies too much signal.
