Panel Descriptions

Power Vector Rear Panel

1.AC Receptacle

A grounded, unswitched AC convenience receptacle with a 500W maximum capacity is provided for external equipment.

2.AC Line Cord and Circuit Breaker

A grounded, 3-wire AC line cord provides power to the amplifier and is protected by a resettable circuit breaker.

3.Trans Output / Direct Out Selector

Allows selection of either transformer-coupled outputs (70V, 25V, and 8-ohm) or a direct low-impedance (4-ohm minimum) output. A locking device is included to avoid accidental switching.

4. Speaker Output Barrier Strip

A 5-position barrier strip, with clamping washers, provides connections for speaker loads.

5. Mute Control Terminals

Provides access to mute buses for external control and system expansion.

6. Remote Volume Control Terminals

Three terminals are provided for connection of a remote station to control the amplifier’s motorized Master Volume Control.

7. Low-Cut Switch

A slide switch (located in module bay 6) that allows roll off of frequencies below 125 Hz.

8.Tone Control Bypass Switch

A slide switch (located in module bay 6) that allows the effects of the bass and treble controls to be bypassed.

9. Module Bays

The amplifier has eight module bays, all of which can accommodate input modules, with two bays (bays 7 and 8) that can accommodate either input or output modules.

10. Bridging Jack

An RCA connector that allows the bridging of Power Vectors together for system expansion.

11. Pre-EQ Output

An unbalanced RCA buffer output whose signal includes all volume controls, tone controls, and output module signal processing, but before (pre-EQ) any external signal-processing equipment connected to the Signal- Processing Insert jacks.

12. Insert Jacks

A pair of RCA connectors allow external equipment to be inserted between the pre-amp output and the power amp input. Inserting a plug into the jack labeled “IN” automatically breaks the internal connection between the amplifier’s pre-amp section and power amp section.The insert connections are unbalanced.

Bogen & V250, V35 specifications Power Vector Rear Panel

& 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.
