requires boosted low frequencies, the microphone
voices will still be clear – a truly unique feature in its
class.
The tone controls also have the following unique
features:
• The mixer features separate tone controls for mic/line
inputs and music inputs so the microphone voice can
be specifically optimized for excellent speech or
singing
• The tone controls for music enable the most suitable
music reproduction
In addition, the tone controls are not standard bass
and treble controls; our experience has enabled us to
develop a tone control that can be used as a
traditional tone control with high and low control, but
with a powerful contour that addresses the problems
that are found in real situations.
The tone control for the microphone and line inputs:
• boosts warmth in voices without boosting rumble,
and cuts rumble without losing warmth in the low
frequencies
• boosts sparkle without adding sharpness in the high
frequencies when boosting, and reduces harshness
and sharpness without reducing clarity when cutting
The tone control for the music inputs:
• boosts deep bass first without making the sound
hollow or boomy, and cuts rumble without losing
warmth in the low frequencies
• boosts sparkle without adding sharpness in the high
frequencies, with slightly different frequencies to suit
music reproduction
Integration
A telephone / 100 V emergency input with VOX
activation is provided for easy integration with another
PA system or a telephone paging system. It has its own
preset volume control and overrides all other inputs,
including call station and inputs 1 and 2.
Zones
The mixer has two zone outputs. The music can be
switched on and off in the zones via the front panel
and optional wall panel. Announcements from the
PLE-2CS two-zone call station can be routed to zone 1
or zone 2, or both. Announcements from the tel/100 V
input or inputs 1 & 2 are routed to both zones. Input 1
can be used for a PLE-1CS all-call call station or any
other microphone or call station with a PTT contact.
The unit also has a line output to connect the pre-
amplifier output before zone selection, making it
possible to create a third zone. This output can be
switched to music only, for example, so that music on
hold can be provided for the telephone system. Loop-
through input and output connections enable external
sound processing equipment (e.g. an equalizer or
Plena feedback suppressor) while maintaining a
balanced connection to the amplifiers.
Output status
An LED VU meter monitors the master output. A
headphone socket, below the VU meter, provides the
mixer output before zone selection so you can listen to
the output before the signal is sent to the zone.
