Plena All-in-One is ideal for smaller PA applications requiring compact equipment to fit into limited space. It takes up less space and is more economical and easier to use than a separate amplifier and BGM music unit. The built-in amplifier is a 120W mixer-amplifier with three microphone inputs, including one with selectable priority status for use with a microphone with remote switching contacts. A two-tone chime option is provided to precede priority calls. This microphone input also features a voice-activated (VOX) option so that when someone is speaking into the microphone, it automatically mutes or reduces the volume of the background music to an adjustable softer level. The amplifier has controllable outputs for two separate loudspeaker zones and an additional call-only output, effectively giving it a third zone for priority announcements. Call-active contacts are provided to override local volume controls on loudspeakers (if fitted).
The CD player is a professional quality, drawer-loading unit which plays normal audio CDs and recordable discs (CD-R) - containing MP3-encoded tracks. This means up to 20 hours of music - enough for a whole day - can be played from a single disc. The CD player's user interface features unique 'folders' and programming facilities for up to 999 tracks, to allow the selection and playing of music according to mood, circumstances or time or day. The digital FM/AM tuner has a frequency synthesizer for accurate capture of radio stations and has 15 presets for storing preferred FM and AM stations.
