Mute Control

Each priority bus (High, Medium, and Low) can be externally activated. This allows priority buses of two or more Power Vector units to be linked together for system expansion purposes. A particular mute priority can be externally forced by shorting that priority’s bus terminal to the C terminal of the Mute Control (the C terminal is the system ground). Forcing the H priority bus this way will mute all modules except for modules set for priority level 1 (highest priority). Forcing the M priority bus will mute modules set for priority levels 3 or 4, but not levels 1 or 2, and forcing the L priority bus will only mute modules set at priority level 4. See section on Bridging and illustration on page 8.

Bridging

This connector makes the PowerVector’s mix bus available externally and allows the connecting of Power Vector units for system expansion and simple room combining.

This function is bi-directional.Any signal received will be amplified and any signal sent can be used by another Power Vector amp.The signal levels at the bridging jack will drop by one-half with two Power Vectors tied together and by two-thirds with three units tied together. Because of the attenuation of the bridging signal, due to the signal loading of other Power Vectors, it is not recommended that more than three units be connected together. See Mute Control section and the illustration below for additional information.

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 recommended 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.

& 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.
