LBB 1920/00 Plena Universal Pre-
Amplifier
The Plena Pre-Amplifier is a high-performance, versatile four-
input channel mono mixer pre-amplifier, capable of fulfilling a
wide variety of public address requirements.
Features
• Four universal low-noise input channels for microphone or line
• Separate tone control, speech filter and direct output per
channel
• Selectable blocking, serial and mixing priorities
• Multifunctional inter-connection point
• Priority and emergency relay outputs
• Master volume control
Functions
All input channels provide a choice of a balanced 3-pin XLR-
connector for microphone or line level (selectable), a balanced
5-pin DIN-connector for microphone or line level with priority
contact, or a line level stereo cinch-connector, converted to
mono. Microphone inputs have a phantom power supply. Each
input channel has its own volume and tone control, a selectable
speech filter to reduce the bass content of the speech signal for
improved intelligibility, and a balanced direct output on XLR after
the channel controls.
Three priority modes are available for the input channels. In the
blocking mode the input channel that is activated first gets
priority over all other input channels. In the serial mode input
channel 1 has priority over channels 2, 3 and 4, channel 2 has
priority over channels 3 and 4, and channel 3 has priority over
channel 4. Each of the input channels can be mixed to the
master output, irrespective of priority, by separately setting that
channel to the mixing mode.
Balanced XLR interconnection input and output are provided in
combination with an insertion/cascade selector. In insertion
mode an external sound processing device, e.g. an equalizer,
can be connected between these connections. In the cascade
mode, multiple LBB1920/00 pre-amplifiers can be cascaded to
increase the number of input channels to 8, 12, or even more.
Internally the interconnection input can be switched as an
emergency input with a signal level detector (VOX). If an
emergency audio signal is detected, this input overrules all other
inputs and even bypasses the master volume control. The
emergency input has its own internal volume preset.
In order to get a message through (although the local volume
may be set to a low volume level for e.g. background music),
override relay contacts are provided for overriding local
loudspeaker volume controls. Upon closing one of the input
channel priority contacts, this relay will be activated. For the
emergency input another VOX activated relay is provided to
trigger external equipment or for local volume control override.
An overload protected 24 VDC output is available to supply
power to external relays, so no additional external power supply
is required.
In parallel to the balanced XLR master output an additional
microphone level output is available on DIN. This provides a
signal to e.g. a mixing desk or microphone mixer amplifier.
A tape output is also available.
A monitor selector with headphone connector and
LED VU-meter allows for monitoring of the master output or one
of the input channels.
