PLM-8M8 PLENA matrix 8 Channel DSP
Matrix Mixer
www.boschsecurity.com

The PLM‑8M8 PLENA matrix 8 Channel DSP Matrix
Mixer is designed for maximum flexibility and reliable.
It is the heart and soul of the PLENA matrix system.
When combined with PLM‑8CS call stations, PLM‑WCP
wall control panels and the PLM‑4Px2x amplifiers; it is
suitable for almost any application that requires up to
8 zones of high fidelity speech and background music
(BGM).
The audio quality is suitable for live music, background
music, high demand speech environments and zone
announcement applications.
Some typical application include: Shopping centres,
schools, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafes, gyms,
recreational facilities, churches, warehouses, office
buildings, regional airports, train stations, bus
terminals, boardrooms, meeting rooms, conference
facilities, small theme parks, museums, back of house
performing arts centres and sports stadia.
Functions
Controls and indicators
The indicators on the front panel are; Phantom power
active, signal/clip, call station audio bus, output signal
present, RS485 and Ethernet.

Complete DSP zone matrix mixer and loudspeaker
processor

u

4 microphone/line, 3 music source, call station and
emergency inputs

u

8 independent output zones, and “Amp Link”
outputs

u

Ethernet control and Windows PC GUI, and an iOS
app for zone control via iPhone and iPad

u

RS485 connection for call stations and wall control
panels

There are no controls on the front or the rear panels of
the unit. This is to reduce the assistance from good
intentioned end users who wish to assist in
“improving” the sound levels.
The mains power switch is located on the rear of the
unit.
Graphic User Interface (GUI)
The GUI for both PC Windows and iOS app, has a user
screen; giving the end user the ability to select their
own background music source and mix any
microphone/line input without affecting other zones in
the system. The Windows GUI also provides and
intuitive installation package, packed with powerful
DSP features that will make any install easier. Both the
iOS app and PC GUI are able to be customized for
different levels of user access.
DSP features
The DSP features are accessed via either the PC GUI
software or the iPad application.
Input:
• Input gain: ‑16dB pad, +48V phantom power, 100Hz
HPF.
• Input Dynamic Range Compressor: Threshold, ratio,
attack, release and gain.

2 | PLM-8M8 PLENA matrix 8 Channel DSP Matrix Mixer

• Input parametric EQ: Bands are each selectable as
either: bell, shelf, or notch filters.
• Cross over provides: HPF and LPF up to the 8th
order.
• Output parametric EQ: Each of the 7 bands are
selectable as either: Bell, Shelf, Notch, or as an All
pass filter.
• Output delay, with 120ms per output.
• Output Dynamic Range Compressor: Threshold, ratio,
attack, release, and gain per channel.
• Output level giving the ability to limit the maximum
output level to the zone.
• Zone mute and global system mute.

Global Features

• Zone mixer: Allows each zone to select music sources
inputs and mix 4 mic./line inputs individually, per
zone. This zone mixer is available as an iPad or
iPhone app.
• Administrator password protection of the advanced
functions on the PC GUI. This will protect the
installation set up from “enthusiastic” end users.
• Output assignment: Allows an output to mimic the
inputs from another zone, particularity useful when
room combining or when using and active 2‑way
speaker system or a sub woofer.
• Drag and drop settings on one processing block into
another zone, making it simple to duplicate EQ,
compression, delay etc.
• The PC GUI software and files are streamlined so that
they can be easily emailed, if required.
• Priorities and Overrides: There are 4 priorities that
can be assigned to any of the call stations. In addition
there is an emergency input that is activated by a
contact closure which will have the overall priority of
the system.
• Presets: Store and recall 5 presets (or snapshots)
DSP configurations. The user can quickly and easily
recall these settings without the need of
administrator access. Very useful for multipurpose
venues.

Connections and Amp Link
Inputs
• Mic./line via 4x XLR/TRS combo 3‑pin (balanced),
BGM (music source) via 3x Cinch RCA style
connectors.

Output
• All 8 zone outputs are via Phoenix Euro screw
terminal block (balanced) these same outputs are
duplicated in Amp link Zones 1‑4 and 5‑8 via two
RJ45 connectors.

Amp Link
• Amp Link allows the simple and quick connection of 4
audio channels from a PLM‑8M8 PLENA matrix 8
channel Matrix Mixer to a PLM-4Px2x amplifier via
one STP CAT 5 cable. This feature makes the look of
the rack neater and cuts installation time and labour
cost.

Other connectors
• Ethernet data and connection to a PC is via RJ45
Ethernet port.

• iPad connection requires the addition of an off the
shelf wireless router, connected to the Ethernet port.
• The mains power is via 1x ST3 IEC connector.
• Call stations and wall control panels are connected
via RJ45 and use the RS485 control protocol.
• The logic override is via 1x Phoenix terminal block
connector.
