2.3.1 Introduction
The LBB1990/00 Voice Alarm Controller is the heart of
the Plena Voice Alarm System. The voice alarm
controller distributes emergency calls, business calls as
well as background music (BGM) to up to 6 loudspeaker
zones.
2.3.2 Hand-held microphone
The voice alarm controller is equipped with a hand-held
microphone, which can be used to make emergency
calls.
2.3.3 Internal power amplifier
The voice alarm controller has a 240 W internal power
amplifier, which can be used in 1-channel or 2-channel
mode. In the 1-channel mode, all calls and BGM are

switching. In the 2-channel mode, the BGM is amplified
by the internal power amplifier, whereas the calls are
amplified by an external power amplifier.

manager, which maps wave files (
