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.
