LBB 1938/20 Plena Power Amplifier The amplifier has 70 V and 100 V outputs for constant voltage loudspeaker systems and a low impedance output for 8 Ohm loudspeaker loads. LBB 1938/20 Plena Power Amplifier The LBB 1938/20 is a very powerful 480 W power amplifier with supervision on the functioning of amplifier, on power supply of both mains and battery- back up and on overheating. These supervised functions are indicated on the front panel by 4 LED’s. This high- performance mono amplifier is capable of fulfilling a wide variety of public address requirements. The LBB 1938/20 comes in a 19”, 3U high housing for table- top use and rack mounting.
Functions
The amplifier is protected against overload and short circuits. A temperature-controlled fan ensures high
reliability at high output power and low acoustic noise at lower power output. Additionally, the power amplifier
has an overheat protection circuit that switches off the power stage if the internal temperature reaches a critical limit due to poor ventilation or overload. On the LBB 1938/20 this is shown by the front panel overheat
indicator.
The LBB 1938/20 has two balanced inputs with priority control, each with a loop-through facility. This allows for easy and automatic switching between e.g. a local music source and a priority announcement from a remote system. An additional 100 V line input is provided to connect the power amplifier to a 100 V loudspeaker line, for additional output power e.g. on remote locations.
The LBB 1938/20 has two separate priority controlled 100 V outputs for zones that only need announcements
made via the priority input, and for zones that will not get any announcements made via the priority input. The power amplifier operates both on mains power and on a 24 V battery power supply for emergency back-up, with automatic switchover. The LBB 1938/20 has a front panel LED that indicates when the unit is battery operated.
