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 installed by simply sliding them along the card guides inside the module bays until the faceplate firmly sits against the chassis, then use the two screws supplied with the module to secure it to the chassis.

- CAUTION -

DO NOT FORCE MODULES

Output Modules

Functionality

•Modules should slide in easily.

•Output modules can only be installed in bays 7 & 8. (Output modules will not fit in bays 1-6.)

•Output modules have 8 contacts on each side of connector.

•Input modules have 6 contacts on each side of connector.

•Older style Bogen (D-Series) input modules (4-1/2" in length) are not usable in any Power Vector amp.

The Wall-Mount Power Vector series of amplifiers accepts Bogen plug-in output modules, which offer a cost effective and convenient way to add specific signal processing capability into a system.When an output module is installed, the mix bus signal is automatically rerouted through the output module, whose capabilities further process the signal before it enters the power amplifier section.

Up to 2 output modules can be installed in a Power Vector amplifier using module bays 7 & 8 (or these bays can accept input modules). When two output modules are installed, their signal processing effects are cascad- ed.The mix bus signal will first pass through the output module in module bay 7 and then through the output module in bay 8. In some instances, the order in which the signal processing is applied is important and can be achieved by the module installation order.

Output modules automatically insert themselves into the signal path between the mix bus and power amp stage, so no further connections are required beyond simply inserting the modules. Most Bogen output mod- ules include an unbalanced, Hi-Z input.This input feeds directly to the amplifier’s mix bus through the front level control for the particular module bay and is not processed by the output module directly.The input is includ- ed so that the additional input function of the module bay is not forfeited when an output module is installed.

Input Modules

Functionality

The Wall-Mount Power Vector series of amplifiers accepts Bogen’s new advanced plug-in input modules, which provide a wide range of input types allowing the amplifier inputs to be custom configured in both type and num- ber for a particular application. Input modules can be installed in any of the 8 module bays and do not have to be installed in any particular bay order.The front panel volume control for that number bay will control the mix level of that input module. In addition to a host of module specific features, each input module has a priority jumper section for creating a priority hierarchy between different inputs installed in the amplifier.

Priorities

The Wall-Mount Power Vector series of amplifiers allows inputs to be prioritized at four different levels. The Bogen input modules contain circuitry that can cause their outputs to be muted in response to higher priori- ty control signals from other input modules. Each input module also contains circuitry that sends a mute con- trol signal out to other modules when it becomes active (all input modules become “active” when they receive an audio input). Active modules may be prevented from sending their audio onto the mix bus by a higher pri- ority module that is also active.

Input priorities are set through a simple jumper field on the module. It is also possible not to assign a priority level to an input module. By doing so, that module will never be muted by another input module in the ampli- fier.The unassigned inputs will, however, be muted by the amplifier’s Master Mute input.
