Introduction & Installation

Introduction

The Bogen Model CAM2 is a mixer/pre-amplifier that provides four MIC inputs and one AUX input while supply- ing both MIC and high level outputs. The CAM2 is particularly well-suited for expanding the number of inputs of Bogen public address amplifiers.

The CAM2 accommodates low-impedance microphones and has an input for tuners or other high level sources. Outputs are provided for high-impedance unbalanced and low-impedance balanced MIC inputs and line level inputs to a public address amplifier, tape deck or similar equipment. Units may be interconnected to provide a greater num- ber of inputs.

The CAM2 operates from a 120V AC, 60Hz source. It may be mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack using a Bogen Model RPK35B rack mounting kit or in a wall with a Bogen Model WMK1 in-wall mounting kit.

Caution: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or excessive moisture.

Unpacking

Your unit was carefully checked before leaving the factory. Inspect the shipping container and the unit carefully for indications of improper handling. If the unit has been damaged, make an immediate claim to the distributor from whom it was purchased. If it was shipped to you, notify the transportation company and place a claim.

Power & Grounding

The AC line cord has a three-prong plug that should be plugged into a three-wire, grounded 120V AC, 60Hz out- let. If a three-wire outlet is not available, then use an adapter and secure the pigtail lead to the grounded wall plate mounting screw. It is important to ground the unit. If the wall plate screw is not grounded, connect the wire from the GND terminal of the mixer/pre-amplifier to a suitable earth ground.

Installation

Rack Mounting

Bogen Model RPK35B Rack Panel Kit is designed to mount the CAM2 in a standard 19" sound equipment rack. The panel is fabricated from cold-rolled steel and finished in black enamel.

In-Wall Mounting

Bogen Model WMK1 is designed to mount the mixer/pre-amplifier flush in a wall. Depth of the mounted unit is 3-1/2".
