Leicester, UK – CIE-Group, a prominent UK supplier of commercial audio equipment, has introduced the new ‘LB-5A’ Digital Audio Store, enhancing their redesigned ‘Clever Little Box’ range. The ‘LB-5A’ features state-of-the-art MP3 technology, allowing it to store and replay recorded voice messages, music, and tones for various applications, including security, retail, museums, and advertising.

The ‘LB-5A’ stores audio files in MPEG format on an internal USB memory stick, providing an 8-hour storage capacity. This enables easy content updates or replacements using standard Windows or Mac file management software.

Configured into three groups comprising five messages, five chimes, and five tones—reconfigurable to meet individual needs—the 15 channels can be activated by voltage-free ‘Normal Open/Normal Closed’ contacts, buttons, switches, PIR devices, or the Clever Little Box TU-16A Timer Unit.

CIE-Group emphasizes the unit’s ease of installation and configuration. The ‘LB-5A’ is competitively priced, offering a variety of features, including a background music facility, channel group priority, and free audio file samples.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the ‘LB-5A’ boasts a stylish steel ‘clam-shell’ box for wall or desktop mounting, aligning with the aesthetic of the newly updated Clever Little Box range.
