Expanded public address and voice alarm

September 2011 Security Services & Risk Management, Products & Solutions

Bosch extends its public address and voice alarm system.

Bosch Security Systems has recently extended its Plena Easy Line range with three mixer amplifiers. Available in 60 watt, 120 watt and 240 watt versions, the new Plena Economy units feature five inputs, including four mic/line inputs and one background music input, to provide a variety of easy solutions for broadcasting announcements and music.

The units are designed for out-of-the-box use and feature a highly user-friendly user interface, preferred-setting indicator pins and standard labels for the inputs. Moreover, a variety of back panel connection points allow for true application flexibility.

The mixer section has integrated equalisers for regulating the treble and bass inputs that are easily adjusted with a simple turn of a dial. In addition, a built-in limiter prevents overload of the amplifier output signal.

The system can automatically take priority over other calls and music during announcements. It also features a 100 volt call-only output which can be used as an additional third output for eg, volume override or as an extra zone for announcements only.

The functionality of the new Plena Economy mixer amplifiers can be extended by connecting Plena Solutions equipment such as a message manager, a DVD/CD-player and tuner, a timer unit, a feedback suppressor, as well as many other Bosch products.

These new extensions to the Plena Easy Line range mean that Bosch is able to offer high quality and easy-to-use public address solutions for applications such as retail shops, restaurants, small businesses, offices and schools. Although aimed at these cost-sensitive markets, the Plena Economy is nevertheless a professional system meeting the same high quality standards as Bosch’s other public address and background music systems and comes with a three year Bosch warranty.
