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- coupled outputs references the transformer output to ground. Disconnecting the GND terminal from COM allows the transformer output to float electrically. This is sometimes useful under certain conditions where a ground connection is undesirable. It is generally a good idea to short the GND to the COM terminal regardless of output type (Trans or Direct).

Remote Volume Control

Three terminals are provided for remote control of the Master Volume control on the front panel. This control is motorized, allowing full con- trol over the setting of the master volume. Shorting the UP terminal with the C terminal will rotate the Master Volume control in a clockwise direction, increasing the volume level. Shorting the DN terminal to the C terminal will cause the Master Volume control to rotate in a counter- clockwise direction and decrease the level of the MasterVolume control. The impedance of the shorting connections must be less than 100 ohms in order to operate the control. The Bogen Remote Volume Control Panel (Model RVCP) provides a simple and elegant means of remote control. Alternatively, a SPDT spring-loaded, center off switch or two SPST push-button switches can provide the necessary contacts for remote control.

Pre-EQ Output

An unbalanced RCA connector provides a buffered signal level output for use by external equipment. This output signal includes all internal signal processing, including master volume control, output modules processing, tone controls, and low-cut filtering. It does not include any external signal processing that may be provided through the Signal-Processing Inserts.

Signal-Processing Inserts

A set of unbalanced RCA connectors provides a means to insert external signal-processing equipment between the output of the Power Vector Amplifier’s mixer section and its power amp section. The RCA connector labeled OUT provides a signal from the amplifier’s mixer section. This output signal encompasses all internal signal processing, including master volume control, output modules processing, tone controls, and low-cut filtering.The connector labeled IN provides an input to the amplifier’s power amplifier section. The internal connection between the amplifier’s mixer section and power amp section is automatically broken whenever an RCA plug is inserted into the IN connector.

& V250, V35 specifications

The Bogen V35 and V250 are two high-performance public address (PA) systems designed to meet the demands of various venues and applications. Known for their robust features and advanced technologies, both models provide exceptional audio quality, versatility, and ease of use.

The Bogen V35 is a compact yet powerful amplifier, catering to mid-sized venues such as schools, conference rooms, and places of worship. It offers an output power of 35 watts, making it ideal for announcements, background music, and public speeches. One of its main features is the built-in digital signal processing (DSP), which enhances sound clarity and enables users to tailor audio to specific needs. The V35 also supports various input options, including microphone, line-level, and RCA connections, allowing for multiple audio sources to be integrated effortlessly.

The V250, on the other hand, is engineered for larger venues and higher output requirements, boasting an impressive 250 watts of power. This model is particularly suitable for auditoriums, large conference halls, and outdoor events. The V250 is equipped with advanced features such as feedback suppression and automatic gain control, which help maintain consistent audio quality regardless of the environment or speaker proximity. Like the V35, the V250 includes multiple input channels, allowing for comprehensive audio mixing capabilities.

Both the V35 and V250 utilize Bogen's innovative thermal protection system, which ensures the amplifiers remain cool even during extended use, promoting longevity and reliability. Additionally, these models are designed with user-friendly interfaces, featuring clear knobs and indicators for adjusting volume, bass, and treble with ease.

In terms of build quality, both amplifiers are housed in durable metal enclosures, making them suitable for both permanent installations and portable use. Their sleek design means they can easily fit into any environment without being an eyesore.

In conclusion, the Bogen V35 and V250 stand out for their versatile features, advanced technologies, and high-quality audio output, making them excellent choices for a range of public address applications. Whether for small gatherings or large-scale events, these amplifiers deliver effective sound solutions tailored to the needs of users.
