The PLE-SDT Plena Easy Line SD Tuner BGM source is
the ideal high‑quality source for background music
(BGM) in public address systems. It provides hours of
uninterrupted music for professional systems.
Designed without moving parts, it can be used in
systems that are on for long periods. It is designed to
be used with non-volatile steady state flash memory.
System overview
The unit has a digital source side for MP3’s stored on
SD card and USB memory stick, and a side with an FM
tuner. It is typically used in hotels, shops,
supermarkets, restaurants, bars, canteens, gyms,
showrooms, and other places where BGM creates the
right atmosphere. It connects to any public address
amplifier. The design follows the Plena Easy Line
design and is part of the Advantage Line by Bosch.
Functions
With an SD/USB capacity of up to 32 GB (up to 2000
tracks) and the option to connect the USB either on
the front or rear panel, the digital player provides
hours of high‑quality, uninterrupted music playback
from a single source. It supports music organized on a
disk in multiple folders. The player will automatically
search and play all playable MP3’s on a flash memory
device, and has repeat and random play modes.
Digital Source
It can play MP3’s with bit-rates from 32 kbps to
320 kbps, mono / stereo / joint‑stereo, and both
constant bit-rates (CBR) and variable bit-rate (VBR)
are supported.
Tuner
The digitally controlled FM tuner uses a frequency
synthesizer for accurate capture of radio stations and
has presets for FM to store favorite radio stations.
Outputs
Both the player and the tuner can operate
simultaneously on different outputs. The output level
of the outputs can be set via the rear panel. Next to
the stereo analog outputs per side, there is a
combined output that plays the digital content and
automatically switches over to the FM tuner when the
last track has been played.
