High power, current driven amplifier
▶
Two microphone/line inputs, one priority input
(100 V)

▶
Limiter and automatic gain control (AGC)
▶
Integrates in an EN 54‑16 and EN 60849 compliant
system
The Plena Loop Amplifier is a cost-effective amplifier
designed to drive a wire loop installed in the floor or
ceiling, covering an area of up to 600 m
2
per amplifier.
This solution enables hearing-aid users in the area
enclosed by the wire loop to hear all announcements, or
music. Hearing-aid users can set their devices to the T-
mode setting to receive the signal coming from the loop.
They receive announcements in excellent audio-quality,
without the background noise or reverberations that
normally impair intelligibility for people with hearing
disabilities.
Functions
The loop amplifier can be connected to a mixing
amplifier’s line level output, or it can accept up to two
microphone/line signals directly. A 100 V priority input is
available for uplink to a voice alarm system. This input can
be monitored for the presence of a pilot tone. The built-in
supervision monitors all key functions of the loop
amplifier, and the fault state is available on a fail-safe
relay. This makes it possible to use the Plena Loop
Amplifier in an IEC 60849 compliant system, and to
include the induction loop in the supervised transmission
paths.
For added ease, the loop amplifier is equipped with a
limiter that keeps the output field strength below the
prescribed 100 mA/m. This circuitry can also be set to an
automatic gain control (AGC) that amplifies weak signals
for enhanced intelligibility, while attenuating loud signals.
This ensures that all information is presented at a
comfortable listening level.
The unit has tone controls and a metal loss compensation
circuit to adjust the sound to the program material and
the environment. The controls have locks to prevent
unwanted access after they have been adjusted.
The Plena loop amplifier is stackable (master/slave
configuration) to cover very large areas, and supports low
spillover schemes. Its unique quadrate configuration
provides uniform field strengths even over multiple loops.
