source and remote control
The Plena All‑in‑One System is a six‑zone 240 W
background music and paging system, which consists
of the Plena All‑in‑One Unit, an optional remote
Wall Panel, and one or more Call Stations. It is a cost-
effective public address system for small to medium-
sized venues that require an easy‑to‑use out‑of‑the‑box
solution.
System overview
The Plena All‑in‑One Unit can provide hours of
uninterrupted music from USB or SD flash memory.
The unit also has a built in AM/FM tuner with presets.
To ensure for optimum performance, the
All‑in‑One Unit has no moving parts, such as hard
drives that can fail or wear out. It is compatible with
SD, SDHC and MMC cards, and USB memory sticks.
The unit is supplied with an IR remote control for
controlling the music source. To enhance the
performance of the public address system, the
following optional products can be connected to the
All‑in‑One Unit:
• One or more Call Stations for six‑zones and all‑call, so
that calls can be made to any combination of zones or
all zones. A maximum of six Call Stations can be
connected in a loop‑through arrangement to the same
All‑in‑One Unit.
• A Wall Panel for enabling control of the background
music from a remote location; the Wall Panel even
allows a microphone or portable music player to be
connected to the system.
• An additional power amplifier, so that music can be
heard in one set of zones while calls can be made to
another set of zones.
The All‑in‑One Unit is a 3 U high 19” wide rack‑mount
unit. The unit is supplied with detachable rack‑mount
brackets so that it can be used on a tabletop or
installed in a rack.
Functions
Microphone and line inputs
The All‑in‑One Unit has six inputs that can be switched
between microphone and line level sensitivity. Input 1
also accepts an optional all‑call Call Station (PLE-1CS
or PLE-1SCS). The inputs are balanced but can also be

used unbalanced.
Phantom power can be switched on to provide power
to condenser microphones. The inputs can either be
mixed or can be configured with different priority
arrangements (serial/blocking/overriding), based on a
signal detection at each input.
Call station input
A maximum of six optional Call Stations can be
connected in a loop‑through arrangement to the same
All‑in‑One Unit. The PLN-6CS Call Station has a limiter
and configurable sensitivity, a speech filter, and an
attention chime.
Music inputs
The unit has three music inputs and an internal music
source. The internal music source plays MP3 files from
an SD/MMC card or USB device with a capacity of up
to 32 GB. The player will automatically search and play
all playable MP3 files and has repeat and random play
modes. The following formats are supported: MP3 files
with bit‑rates from 32 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s, mono/
stereo/joint‑stereo, and continuous bit‑rates (CBR) as
well as variable bit‑rate (VBR). If a microphone signal
receives priority, the music is either muted or
attenuated to an adjustable level (music ducking).
FM/AM Tuner
The digitally controlled tuner uses a frequency
synthesizer and has presets to store favorite radio
stations.
Output power
The built‑in 240 W power amplifier of the
All‑in‑One Unit makes this a complete single-channel
audio system for music distribution and paging. To
enable two‑channel operation, an external power
amplifier can be connected to the All‑in‑One Unit.
Zone outputs
The unit has six zone outputs for connection to
different zones. The volume level of each zone can be
adjusted separately.
Remote control Wall Panel input
An optional Wall Panel can be connected to the
All‑in‑One Unit by use of a standard Cat‑5 cable and
RJ45 connectors. The Wall Panel provides remote
control of the system, as well as an input for a remote
music player or microphone. The Enable button on the
remote Wall Panel can be pressed to gain control over
the music selection and master volume. This makes it
the perfect accessory for a small system that requires
operation from a second location with local audio
inputs.
