Modules Module Installation Eight module bays are available to accept Bogen’s new advanced plug-in input modules. Module bays 7 & 8 can also accommodate Bogen’s new advanced plug-in output modules, thereby allowing users to customize the amplifier to suit the needs of the installation. (Note:The bays will not accept Bogen’s older style D-Series plug-in modules.) Before installing a module, read the instructions included with the module and make the desired jumper setting changes. The modules are

Connections Speakers Transformer-Coupled Speaker Connections Transformer-coupled, constant voltage speaker loads are connected to their respective load type (i.e., 70V speakers to the 70V terminal, 25V speaker systems to the 25V terminals) and the COM terminal. Make sure the selector switch is in the TRANS position. A separate 8-ohm terminal is provided to drive 8-ohm (low-impedance) speakers through an output transformer tap. The speaker terminals can accept up to a #10 spade lug and have inte

Connections COM and GND Terminals A shorting jumper typically connects the COM and GND terminals of the amplifier together.The COM terminal is a common lead from the output transformer. For the transformer-coupled speaker output to work, one of the speaker load leads must be connected to this terminal.The GND terminal is a connection to the system’s electrical ground and used when driving loads in the Direct Out mode. Connecting the GND to the COM terminal when using the transformer-cou- pled ou

Connections System Expansion of Power Vector Amplifiers Using the bridging RCA connector, it is possible to connect two or more Power Vector amplifiers. It is not rec- ommended that more than three amplifiers be bridged together due to bridging loss. When connecting mute control functions, make certain that the wiring is consistent (H to H, M to M, and so forth). See illustration below. Note: When connecting mute control functions between amplifiers, make certain that the wiring is consistent (

Operation Front Panel Controls & Indicators Input Volume Controls Each input module may be individually controlled by its corresponding volume control knob. Signal / Clip Indicator A single LED located above each channel’s volume control indicates the audio activity of that channel’s input. Green indicates signal is being applied to the mix bus. Red indicates that the input signal coming from the input module into the amp is clipping and distorted.This is caused by either an input signal that is

Operation Output Limiter The Output Limiter control sets the threshold at which the unit hard limits the output signal. Once the Limiter's threshold is exceeded, the output signal is prevented from increasing any further.With the control set to the Min position (fully counterclockwise), the Limiter will pro- vide almost no limiting and is essentially turned off. It will only engage when very large output levels are produced.As the control is turned clockwise, more limiter function will be allowe
